"We consistently stand up for Muslims around the world and talk abt how Islam is a wonderful religion."

The U.S. Embassy in Cairo released the following statement hours before protesters stormed the embassy building:(bolding is mine)

"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 a tweet from the embassy that was later deleted, the U.S. embassy in Cairo tweeted:

"We consistently stand up for Muslims around the world and talk abt how Islam is a wonderful religion."

(EDIT and comment by kristinn: The embassy’s Tweet praising Islam as "wonderful" was taken down around 3 or 4 p.m. EDT. A screen grab was not made as far as I know, but someone on Twitter retweeted the message questioning the judgment of the embassy.)

(I personally saw the embassy’s statement before it was deleted. It was made in the context of a Twitter discussion between the embassy and an Arabic speaking Muslim who was saying violence was justified over the alleged anti-Islam film.)

I learned ALSO that the prophet is a POS pedophile who raped a 9 year old girl, then made her one of his brides. Effing’ religion of lowlife animals

“U.S. Embassy in Cairo - Islam is a ‘wonderful religion’”

The entire staff should be recalled..to a man/woman. Then put her highness Hillary on a slow boat to the Antarctic.Our State Department is now and has been for generations a seething bed of left wing one-worlders who's only attachment to the USA is in the fat paycheck they receive for debasing this nation in front of the rest of the world.

Islam is a wonderful religion

What about the separation of Church and State? What about the Establishment Clause? Why is the US endorsing Islam?

To the lib mind mosques are not churches and as such are immune, synagogs(sp) temples and shrines are still considered “churches” though....

Here’s a list of over 19,000 reasons why Islam isn’t exactly a “wonderful religion”:

Fk Obozo and his Islamic brothers with special attention paid to that goat humping pervert Mohammad. This crap has been going on since AD700 and is not going to stop without massive blood being shed.

I wonder how many barrels of oil were traded for America's sovereignty? Although I was pretty young and not particularly politically adept, I knew I never liked Kissinger. These are his chickens and they're roosting.

This president makes Nevill Chamberlain look like George Patton.

From the Path-to-911 to the Apologies on 9-11. Same people, same problems.

[a fool in paradise]

To my knowledge, President Obama and the Hate Department have never said anything positive about Christianity.

So Mrs. Slick Willie! How’s your “Arab Spring” gig going over there? You guys need any pizza over there? I’ll have the union thugs send you some.

Krauthammer rips US Embassy in Egypt, says appropriate statement to mob would be 'go to hell'

[dila813]

One of these days, these dumb ignorant bastards in the state department are going to figure out that the problem isn’t us respecting their religion, it is their religion not respecting others free expression and beliefs.

Freedom is the enemy, they want anyone who does something to slight their religion to die. Anything else they won’t abide.

[opentalk]

Michelle Bachmann was correct to be concerned about Muslim brotherhood influence in the state department.

[rurgan]

Obama is a traitor.

Obama issued a dictatorial decree giving Amnesty to a million illegals.That is unlawful as a president has no power to do this.

Obama has piled on 6 trillion in debt on the U.S. ensuring its collapse.

I can guarantee you this. That Muslims will get nuclear bombs and they will detonate them in U.S. cities and start a nuclear war. Can anyone dispute this to me now? It’s not a matter of if but when . Islam will start a nuclear war , bank on it.

[peeps36]

Please don't hurt us Mr. religion of peace. We know that you are superior to us Americans and that we have no right to speak about your religion of peace. If you can forgive us for our ignorance we promise to stop forcing you to chop our heads off. Ah Salami Bacon.
Signed, Barrack Hussein Alibaba Obama

This is pure insanity

Alternate headline for any of the apology reports: Obama bares America’s neck to Islam on 9-11.
