In every country, there are those who find different
religious beliefs threatening; in every culture,
00:00:09.267,00:00:14.867
those who love freedom for themselves must ask
themselves how much they’re willing to tolerate
00:00:14.867,00:00:23.400
freedom for others. That is what we saw play out
in the last two weeks, as a crude and disgusting
00:00:23.400,00:00:31.700
video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world.
Now, I have made it clear that the United States
00:00:31.700,00:00:37.167
government had nothing to do with this video,
and I believe its message must be rejected by
00:00:37.167,00:00:45.133
all who respect our common humanity. It is an
insult not only to Muslims, but to America as well,
00:00:45.133,00:00:50.233
for as the city outside these walls makes clear,
we are a country that has welcomed people of
00:00:50.233,00:00:57.733
every race and every faith. We are home to
Muslims who worship across our country.
00:00:57.733,00:01:02.367
We not only respect the freedom of religion,
we have laws that protect individuals from
00:01:02.367,00:00:00.000
being harmed because of how they look
or what they believe.
