How to interpret this? Is this aimed at employees of Foggy Bottom or is this a generalized statement?

I deem what generally comes out of Foggy Bottom to be offensive speech. Now what?

“We respect any actions that need to be taken under Pakistani law to protect their citizens from offensive speech”

In other words, speech control by the government.

They are just passing on the words of the bama boy who is Muslim and hates to hear his religion exposed.

How about worrying about terrorist/radical Islamic websites?

The State Department is made up of sniveling marxists.

A Star of David must have snuck in there.
How could muslims take offense at an image of someone whose true image they don’t even know themselves?
Musta been one ugly critter not to want his image on every damn lamppost like the rest of their dead insane heroes.

I labor to find the strength to give a crap whether drawing a cartoon of an Islamic icon offends anyone. As soon as someone drops a figurine of "the prophet" into a jar of urine call me.

No religion has more icons and relics defaced, destroyed and parodied than Christianity because we don't blow things up or chop off heads when we get 'offended'.

It’s all very simple; change the language, Alinsky style.

Little by little, until 0bagger and his communist government succeed in subjugating the population. That’s how they think in there little, twisted communist minds.

Later, you’ll hear: enemy of the people, enemy of the state, reactionaries, counter-productive (mini counter-revolutionaries,) etc.

Attacks on the first amendment will necessarily involve restricting the Internet, talk radio and conservative publications to cut the communications between Americans. Since they are aided and abetted by the regime compliant media, many people will not realize what’s happening.

Once this is done, then they’ll disarm the population and a huge part of their plan is accomplished.

If we see the civilian communications running into trouble, then the rest isn’t far behind.

I’ll throw this back into the ring. “Freedom of speech is the first bow to break....”

Know it, if you don’t, learn it.

U.S. is deeply concerned about any deliberate attempt to offend Muslims or members of any other religious groups

So we're not allowed to offend people any more?

How does one control whether what one says offends someone else?

I find the President of the U.S. saying "at some point, I think you have enough money" offensive. Can we please redact that?

“How to interpret this?”

Our government opposes the 2nd amendment, so why should they support the 1st? Free speech has got to go. Probably can be regulated as “interstate commerce”.

In a related story, researchers have unearthed a rare photo of Mohammad and his first wife:

I find the rogue agency known as “The State Department” offensive. Can we eliminate it now?

Browsing around a bit on the source website, I cannot but conclude that it must be a ‘spoof’ site. The general nature of statements is just too silly.

Just take the statement that the cited Facebook publications would be ‘offensive to muslims and non-muslims’ alike. ROTFLMAO!!!

Nice job, whoever you are.
