President Obama Declares The Future Must Not Belong to Practicing Christians

In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly today the President of the United States declared that the future does not belong to practicing Christians. Already, the media and the left are in full denial, probably based on their general lack of understanding of theology. This would have been a gaffe had Mitt Romney said it. But with Barack Obama, he’s just speaking bold

President Barack Obama addressed the United Nations General Assembly this morning and claimed the future must not belong to those who target Coptic Christians in Egypt, those who bully women, the corrupt few who steal a country's resources, and those who slander the prophet of Islam.

 

Transcript:

 

The future must not belong to those who target Coptic Christians in Egypt – it must be claimed by those in Tahrir Square who chanted “Muslims, Christians, we are one.” The future must not belong to those who bully women – it must be shaped by girls who go to school, and those who stand for a world where our daughters can live their dreams just like our sons. The future must not belong to those corrupt few who steal a country’s resources – it must be won by the students and entrepreneurs; workers and business owners who seek a broader prosperity for all people. Those are the men and women that America stands with; theirs is the vision we will support.

Muslim-led nations seek global ban on insults of Muhammad

As the U.N. General Assembly convenes this week in New York, several leaders of mostly Muslim nations are suggesting that the world body consider sanctions on blasphemy, amid widespread protests against an amateur movie that denigrates Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

 

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he will focus at least part of his remarks on the film when he addresses the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday.

 

“I am the prime minister of a nation, of which most are Muslims, that has declared anti-Semitism a crime against humanity. But the West hasn’t recognized Islamophobia as a crime against humanity. It has encouraged it,”

Obama to UN: It's Not My Fault Stevens is Dead

by Joel B. Pollak25 Sep 2012, 8:06 AM PDT

Passing the buck in dramatic fashion on the world stage, President Barack Obama told the UN General Assembly this morning that the U.S. government was not responsible for the anti-Islam video that he once again blamed for recent attacks on U.S. embassies in the Middle East. He added that more guards at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi would not have helped save Ambassador Chris Stevens, and that the real problem was "deeper causes" such as religious intolerance.

 

"t will not be enough to put more guards in front of an Embassy; or to put out statements of regret, and wait for the outrage to pass," Obama told

Ricochet: Did The President Attack The First Amendment Today, Or Was It An Attack on Blasphemy?

Tommy De Seno

9/25/12

 

Every conservative website seems to be carrying the following sentence from the President's speech today and my own Facebook page shows folks are apoplectic over it:

The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.

 

By those words, some make the case that the sentence is proof of anything from Obama's disrespect for the First Amendment to his support for terrorists who kill for cartoons.

Obviously I would not support the President on any of those things.

 

Yet when I read the transcript and saw the larger context, I couldn't help but wonder (just wondering here - not asserting) if the President was actually making the case that blasphemy is bad no matter whose religion is under attack. I can support that (not laws against blasphemy, but I'm a fan of politeness).

 

Now, analysis of these things usually goes something like this: If one generally dislikes the speaker, bad intentions are presumed and future bad acts based upon those intentions are feared.

 

If one generally likes the speaker, good intentions are presumed and no future bad acts are feared.

The attack on free speech in our own country, the fact we essentially took responsibility for the murders by apologizing for the "instigation" of them is one of the most frightening things I've ever experienced.
