Clinton Deeply 'Hurt' By Charges That U.S. is Anti-Muslim
Arutz Sheva ^ | 6/5/12 | Rachel Hirshfeld

Posted on 05/06/2012 6:08:15 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday she was deeply hurt by charges that the United States was biased against Muslims, adamantly defending America’s record in protecting minorities.

Clinton, visiting the world’s third largest Muslim-majority country Bangladesh, was asked by a student at a public forum about perceptions that the United States was against Islam, the AFP reported.

“That hurts me so much,” Clinton said. “It’s a painful perception to hear about and I deeply regret that anyone believes that or propagates it.”

Clinton said that the decade of U.S.-led war on terror was “self-defense” after the September 11, 2001 attacks by al-Qaeda, and she said extremists “perverted” the teachings of Islam.

“Is there discrimination or prejudice in the United States, like in every society and country in the world? Unfortunately, yes. Human nature has not changed dramatically,” she asserted.

“There is discrimination against people of different religions, of different races, of different ethnic groups all over the world... but I don’t think that it is at all fair to hold up the United States” over discrimination, she stated.

“I believe that the United States through our laws and through our constant political dialogue has gone probably farther than anywhere else in the world in trying to guarantee legal protections for people. I would like to see more countries do more to protect the rights of minorities,” she continued.

Clinton is the first U.S. secretary of state to visit Bangladesh since 2003 amid concern over political infighting that has long polarized the country.

Yeah, that kind of happens when you are dealing with religion whose mandate is to kill or enslave non-mooslimbs.

But let’s invite more to live here...

"If 9/11 didn't get people's attention, nothing will. "
Sad to say, your point is well taken and for about half of the US, the message has been missed, ignored, denied, rationalized, obfuscated, confused, politically corrected, CAIR intimidated, etc. Arrgh!

At the risk of being banned I do credit her with throwing in at least one true defense of our country:

"I believe that the United States through our laws and through our constant political dialogue has gone probably farther than anywhere else in the world in trying to guarantee legal protections for people. I would like to see more countries do more to protect the rights of minorities, she continued."

Probably a typo in her print out ... ;-)

At the time (to me, at least) that declaration made some sense. It’s easy to blame an entire culture for the actions of a few, but it’s not the right thing to do. Now, almost 11 years later, we’ve fought two major wars and had God knows how many other involvements with Muslims around the world.

Now we know for sure, and there is no excuse.

Is she 'hurt' the Southern Poverty Law Center ONLY goes after 'terrorists' if they're 'right wing'?

Is she hurt that when the SPLS demonizes her fellow Americans in such a biased hateful way?

Nah. She's with THEM.

Her sympathy is for wealthy Arabs who offer large chunks of money and power to those willing to suspend decency and love of country.

Maybe that link should be stand alone post...

“That’ll teach them to f*** with us.”-to aides, immediately following her “Vast right-wing conspiracy” charge on national television (The Case Against Hillary Clinton, p. 162).

That’s probably what they’re talking about. They’re looking towards becoming a minority in America, and want the right to stomp on minority dhimmes. Not allowing that is anti-Muslim.

I want nothing to do with the sub-humans who refuse to get beyond the 6th century.

Too bad Mo-Ham-Mud did not demand they all kill themselves.

Uh, no thanks as such ignorant people who need the koran (comic book for retards) to tell them which hand to wipe their a$$ probably know nothing about sanitary conditions.

You don’t buy it from the shouq. Israelis make this stuff(kubba, shawarma, hilbe, tehina, halva, falafel, Schug, etc.), and it’s both hygenic and delicious. But guess from whom we learned?
