"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday strongly denounced the mysterious anti-Muslim film tied to protests and deadly attacks on American diplomatic compounds. But she reiterated that America will not tolerate limits on its free speech — and challenged leaders in the Muslim world to immediately denounce violence in response.
“To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible,” Clinton said at a meeting with Moroccan officials in Washington. “It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose to denigrate a great religion and provoke rage. But as we said yesterday, there is no justification — none at all — for responding to this video with violence.”
Clinton pointedly called on other nations’ leaders to denounce the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Egypt, and the U.S. Consulate in Libya, where four diplomats were killed, including Ambassador Christoper Stevens.
“We all, whether we are leaders in government, leaders in civil society or religious leaders, must draw the line at violence,” she said. “Any responsible leader should be standing up now and drawing that line.”
