U.S. Embassy reaffirms U.S. respect for Islam
United States government in no way condones such acts of disrespect against the religion of Islam, and is deeply concerned about deliberate attempts to offend members of religious or ethnic groups.
The embassy wants to emphasize that we strongly condemn the offensive messages, which are contrary to U.S. government policy and deeply offensive to Muslims especially during the month of Ramadan.
Right here is the problem. The policies of the US Government in regards to Islam, are policies of appeasement. Policies that only help the ideology of the enemy advance.
Obama made clear in Cairo in his speech on June 4, 2009 that he considers it part of his responsibility as President to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they occur. And during his recent Iftar speech at the White House he said: “Let me be clear: as a citizen, and as President, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country.”
Will Obama be fighting against the “negative stereotypes” of other religions as well?
Americans from all religious and ethnic backgrounds reject the offensive initiative by this small group in Florida. A great number of American voices are protesting the hurtful statements made by this organization. Numerous interfaith and religious groups in America are actively working to counter this kind of ignorance and misinformation that is offensive to so many people in the U.S. and around the world.
I am going to email the State Department this link, and would love for one their representatives to show up here and debate me on Islam. We will see who is misinformed, as the State Department is standing up for a religion that calls for their dominance, and allows lying, and rape. Personally I find these actions “offensive”.
Just a few days ago, President Obama’s Special Envoy to the OIC, Rashad Hussain visited Afghanistan, reaching out to political leaders, religious leaders, students and all citizens of Afghanistan, communicating the important message of friendship, cooperation and mutual understanding between the U.S. and Muslim communities all around the world.
Should I be ecstatic about this? Hussain will only help the enemy, and where is the mutual understanding from the Islamic world in regards to our way of life? Respect is supposed to be a two-way street, but Islam is a one-way street and our government continues to allow them to get away with it.
