Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Morsi, now the Egyptian president is visiting the U.S. and he has given an interview to the New York Times, besides the other drivel he spewed while setting his "terms" for U.S. ties with Egypt, he said the following:
If Washington is asking Egypt to honor its treaty with Israel, he said, Washington should also live up to its own Camp David commitment to Palestinian self-rule. He said the United States must respect the Arab world’s history and culture, even when that conflicts with Western values.
[Update] Arab culture Mr. Morsi? Should we respect a Muslim extremist "culture" of offering a reward for the murder of a U.S. Citizen?
A Pakistani government minister has offered a $100,000 (£61,616) reward for the death of the maker of an anti-Islam film produced in the US.
When the extremists are the only ones representing that culture, while moderates stay silent, then those extremists are the culture.
[End update]
The Western Value that Morsi refers is America's hard fought right of free speech, part of our constitution, a constitution that Barack Obama in taking his oath of office swore to defend and protect, which he has violated multiple times over the last week by condemning an American's right of free speech in creating the "Innocence of Muslims" movie trailer, which was offensive, rude and crude, but is still protected under the constitution.
For the record, it is reported that Obama will once again condemn the movie that offends Muslims, but not defend the movie makers right of free speech in making the movie trailer, in his upcoming speech at the United Nations.
Others are reacting to Morsi's audacity in stating that we should put his values above are own, and some of those reactions will be shown below.
First, I will exercise my free speech right, my "western value" and say, "Go Fuck Yourself, Mr. Morsi", since Barack Obama doesn't have the stones to do it himself on behalf of America.
Rick Moran over at PJ Tatler has listed "our terms" for Mr. Morsi:
1. How dare you try and dictate what our values should be — much less demand that they mirror your values. I would rather have us adopt the values of a tribe of New Guinea cannibals than your anti-liberty, anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-human worldview.
2. Stop acting so crazy.
3. Stop stealing your own people blind.
4. Stop hating on the Jews.
5. Stop killing people who disagree with you politically.
6. Stop throwing people in jail for the same reason.
7. Stop trying to recreate a worldwide caliphate. You’re not going to do it anyway, and the effort will probably kill a lot of innocent people.
8. Stop embracing terrorists who kill babies.
9. Stop treating women as if they are property.
10. Did I mention that you must stop acting so crazy?
That’s a start. I’ll get back to you when I think of a couple of dozen others.
Carl in Jerusalem over at Israel Matzav takes apart the other nonsense Morsi spouted to the NYT and in another interview, so go read it all, but here is the money quote:
It will not be easy for the next US President to reassert America's authority in the Middle East. And if God forbid we get four more years of Obama, there may not be any authority left to reassert.
What could go wrong?
Once again, exercising my free speech right and standing up for free speech rights in general no matter how idiotic or offensive they are, below is the film trailer "Innocence of Muslims."
Every single time Obama condemns free speech, violates his oath to protect and defend our constitution, hopefully Americans will enforce their free speech rights and protect and defend them in his stead.
Obama must go in November.
