From the US Embassy in Cairo
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
In other news, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn announced plans to rename Decatur, Illinois since the city’s current designation is unnecessarily provocative and injurious to the the feelings of devout Muslims. President Barack Obama is expected to issue an apology to the descendants of the Barbary pirates for the offensive lyrics in the Marine Corps hymn that reference “the shores of Tripoli.”
Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy… except for government health coverage.
