It's The Future MUST NOT belong to those who slander the prophet of islam speech.
It was a good campaign speech. Worthy of the DNC convention.
Nice tribute but still with the video angle in a subtle way:
That is what we saw play out in the last two weeks, as a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world. Now, I have made it clear that the United States government had nothing to do with this video, and I believe its message must be rejected by all who respect our common humanity.
Theres no video that justifies an attack on an embassy. Theres no slander that provides an excuse for people to burn a restaurant in Lebanon, or destroy a school in Tunis, or cause death and destruction in Pakistan.
Let us remember that Muslims have suffered the most at the hands of extremism. On the same day our civilians were killed in Benghazi, a Turkish police officer was murdered in Istanbul only days before his wedding; more than 10 Yemenis were killed in a car bomb in Sanaa; several Afghan children were mourned by their parents just days after they were killed by a suicide bomber in Kabul.
I think the video angle matters, insofar as people outside of the U.S. in these regions don't even understand the concept of free speech.
Funny after finally admitting that the attack on the ambassador was a planned terrorist attack, he now goes back to blaming the video. No mention of a terrorist attack at all.
