If, as we've been told since this morning, that statement doesn't reflect the views of the current administration, why is it still up?

September 11, 2012

The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others

Hard to believe this is still on the web site...

One would have thought that Iran would have cooled Al Quaidas heels till after the election.
I figure Obama lost some votes today.
Bad tactical move to push Romney into the Presidency.

I dislike all muslims simply because of the religion and what it stands for. It is a religion of bigotry, pedophilia, and double standards, not to mention an insult to all human beings.

Wow, I've really gotta strongly disagree with you on this one. Regardless of which subset deserves the label of "radical" or "extremist", I've nothing against the peaceful muslims throughout the world.

but
Islam cannot be at peace with anyone
please read the koran....OMG you will be scared straight
one that grabs you is the plight to convert everyone to islam, or KILL them. crusades proved that as well in turkey.
Then once everyone is either dead or converted....they will cull the converts because they are not BORN into islam and therefore not really protected by islamic law of religion.
sooooo where is the peace?

buring ones book of their said religion does not solve the problem, even though it may make one feel better at the time.
as Christians we know that its wrong and sinful....but we can fight back against this oppressive, extreme religion

[Texas Dan Mosby]

BTW. That idiot instigator behind the movie, that pastor whose only mission is to pour gas on the flames of religious tension, should be detained as national threat to USA. That falls under the Patriot act. Just my opinion.

Right.

So those who mock Islam, Mohammad, Christianity, Jesus, Buddah, John Smith and the Mormons, Zen, Confucius, The Great Spirit, Odin, Shintoism, Atheism, and any other belief system are completely justified to be targeted with violence to address any given sleight?

Not so much.

1st Amendment brother.

When "the government" starts locking up folks for expressing dissent against religion, ANY religion, well....we'll have more to worry about than a bunch of idiots rushing a compound in a far away land. From there, it's just a jump to locking up citizens expressing dissent with "Obamacare", private firearm ownership, tax hikes, unemployment, corruption in government, corruption in political parties, corruption in unions, immigration, and on, and on, and on.....

Our President is too soft to Kill his Muslim brothers but has not one hesitation giving weapons to drug cartels and letting American citizens die. Anyone else still trying to figure out why the Left keeps pushing for his election?

that is an easy one to answer
POTUS is Muslim, no doubt about it
he is so far under the rug of his religion for letting his wife speak, he must seek sympathy from his brothers so they wont chop off his head

he is a disgrace
I urge everyone here to CALL your elected leaders and let them know we are a STRONG nation that will not apologize for some dummies views or movies

the traitor in chief needs to be held accountable for his disgraceful tone and words from his administration.
he is allowing us to drift back to pre 9/11 mindset and that is what got us damaged in severe ways

All aid to egypt and libya should be halted.
I have been to both places numerous times and there is not a lot there to BUY off
pyramids are cool.......but the people are not


anyone notice that Canada closed its embassy in iran????? and told all iranian ambassadors in Canada to hit the road
i fear we are on the edge of some major military events in the region, the likes we have not seen since WWII ....that will gravely effect us here and our servicemen abroad.
Israel cannot sit idly by waiting on potus, they will protect themselves. and we SHALL as Americans support their actions

You know what, i've gotta stop you there.

Not that I like Obama, as a matter of fact, I despise the man, please show me why he is Muslim. I was not aware of this. Don't tell me, show me. We can all prove he is a liar and near-socialist...... I would like proof that he is Muslim. Especially if you are going to make a provocative statement like this....

he is so far under the rug of his religion for letting his wife speak, he must seek sympathy from his brothers so they wont chop off his head

And then we have this:

I dislike all muslims simply because of the religion and what it stands for. It is a religion of bigotry, pedophilia, and double standards, not to mention an insult to all human beings.

I am going to go on a limb and assume you are Christian (as I am.) I would advise you to get off the ol' high horse and recognize that our own beloved religion has been plagued by downfalls. Do we want to talk about Christianity in the 1400's-1600's? Yes, it was a while back, so far in fact that many of us occasionally forget that a whole lot of bad stuff has happened at the hand of Christianity. We have overcome that, and that is why I am proud to say that I am a Christian.

Dislike for Muslims simply because of the religion is pretty elitist. And hypocritical. Can we think of any religion that hates Christianity simply for being Christian? This rhetoric sounds familiar. I would suggest that you familiarize yourself with the differences between Islam and Fundamental Islam.

Or don't. Just understand that what you said is offensive to some, and making broad generalized statements like that can lead to hot water.

You're missing the point... regardless of what the koran says on the topic, there are muslims who choose to live peacefully. I choose to judge people by their actions.

Christian yes. I said dislike NOT HATE. I do not trust them
as I do not trust many Christians either, actions to me speak more than a faith. However the muslim faiths actions in my lifetime solidifies my belief.
christians to have many skeletons in the closet. but i have never been personally threatened by them or my faith

I'm sure a moderator will come along to say it shortly, but we should keep the discussion on what happened yesterday in Egypt and Libya, and not discuss religion as a general topic.

From a friend on another forum:

Here's what I'd like to know:

• How many Libyan LE/mil personnel were dispatched to end the riot at the US Consulate?
• How many Libyan "protesters" were injured or killed by Libyan government personnel in the defense of the US Consulate?

Next week, the U.N. General Assembly begins in NYC. If a large group of armed, violent protesters try to attack the Libyan ambassador's residence, vehicle, or team the immediate reaction is going to be an army of Secret Service, Diplomatic Security, and NYPD cops using whatever force is necessary to protect him. That includes, without doubt or hesitation, the use of lethal force to kill American citizens who are engaged in an unlawful attempt to kill, kidnap, or otherwise harm a foreign diplomat.

Did Libya put forth a similar immediate and violent reaction to counter the danger posed to our consulate and our citizens trapped inside?
