More protests break out in Muslim world as U.S. appeals for calm - The Washington Post
Like this message going out to Arabic capitals throughout the Middle East, "“The U.S. government had absolutely nothing to do with this video,” Clinton said at a meeting in Washington with a delegation from Morocco. “We absolutely reject its content and messages. But there is no justification — none at all — for responding to this video with violence.”
"But Morsi also denounced the film and called on “the American people” to “declare their rejection” of such provocations"
I as an American citizen reject the disrespectful and vulgar affront to their religion in the video.
"In a telephone call with Hadi on Thursday, the White House said, President Obama “reiterated his rejection of any efforts to denigrate Islam and emphasized that there is never any justification for the violence we are seeing.”"
While investigation to see if the murders in Libya were premeditated is proper, this message is the bottom line, "At the State Department, Nuland said Clinton “wanted to speak so strongly and so directly” because the government was concerned “that people in the region don’t understand our culture and society, that [the video] was, in fact, a private effort, that it has nothing to do with the U.S. government, that we don’t do these kinds of videos, and that, in fact, as a government, we found it disgusting and reprehensible.”"
