"“Today, we must affirm that our future will be determined by people like Chris Stevens, and not by his killers,” Obama said. “Today, we must declare that this violence and intolerance has no place among our United Nations.”
Obama repeated his condemnation of the anti-Muslim YouTube clip produced in America that sparked recent protests and riots, saying it did not reflect the views of the United States government. But he paired that with a demand that Middle Eastern leaders not only recognize Americans’ right to free speech, but condemn intolerance against Christian, Jews, and Muslim sects within their own countries.
“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. Yet to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see when the image of Jesus Christ is desecrated, churches are destroyed, or the Holocaust is denied,” Obama said. “Let us condemn incitement against Sufi Muslims, and Shiite pilgrims. It is time to heed the words of Gandhi: ‘Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.’”
