Obama bows to attackers, uses White House to attack free speech
“President Barack Obama has bowed to the Muslim Brotherhood’s demand that the federal government suppress a satirical video of Islam’s prophet, Muhammad,” The Daily Caller reports.
Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for the National Security Council, told the Washington Post that the White House has “reached out to YouTube to call the video to their attention and ask them to review whether it violates their terms of use,” the Caller reports
Obama’s request complies with the Sept. 13 demand and threat by the brotherhood, which now governs the Arab world’s largest country, Egypt.
“Hurting the feelings of one and a half billion Muslims cannot be tolerated,” The Muslim Brotherhood said in an English-language statement on their website calling on Obama to suppress the video.
The terrorist group’s statement mirrors that of Obama’s State Department, which condemned an American citizen for “the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.”
The President of the United States takes a sworn oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Using the authority of the White House and the military to try and suppress speech, no matter how tasteless and stupid it may be, violates that oath.
