(CNSNews.com) – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sunday disputed charges that the United States is “anti-Islam,” telling an audience in Bangladesh that the perception was deeply hurtful.
“I certainly think President Obama has sent a very clear message of respect and appreciation of all religions, and in particular of Islam,” she said.
Addressing a public forum at the International School in Dhaka, Clinton was asked for her reaction to “the common perception held by many young people that the U.S. is anti-Muslim.”
“Oh, that hurts me,” she replied. “That hurts me so much, honestly. I mean, it’s a painful perception to hear about, and I deeply regret that anyone believes that or propagates it.”
Clinton defended the U.S. against the allegation, and challenged other countries to treat its minorities better.

I am trying to understand something here, does the President speak for ALL america, meaning that since he in particular appreciates the muslim religion more so than any other religion that I am to fell the same way because he and Hillary Loves the muslim religion? LOL to that bogus belief, because I don’t respect ANY religion that say it’s ok to kill because their god say it is alright. I would tell any muslim, due to my disrespect for their religion that since he believes their BS religion that I hate them as a person as much as I hate their religion, so NO Hillary Clit on, YOU do NOT speak for me, you can feel insulted because you work for a loser president who hates Christianity. You Both make me sick, and to think that you say you are an American, I say you are Not as far as I am concern. I don’t respect you hillary, Or your Boss, so please both of you do America a favor and drop dead.
obozo DOES NOT speak for me. And that female dog hillary does not speak for me. If she likes their religion so much she can take her sorry A$$ and live there.
Fits him to a “T”, a delusional, narcissist who’s resume’ is s joke and who’s credentials are unknown, islam is a cult belief and is the perfect organization for intolerants, criminals and word plying liars who want desperately to make you submitt to them and allow them to steal anything and everything you have including your God given freedoms…..they are no different than communist or any other word that describes government terrorism.
his most-favored religion is obamaism, the worshiping of HIM! He can’t understand why there’s more lemmings out there who “understand” that he’s the “messiah”
His Black Liberation Theology is not Christian in the sense that most Christians think about. His Christ is first and foremost “Blackj” and supports only those who are oppressed. I do not know what color Christ is, but have not met any Black Jews, and therefore not sure how Christ would first be Black, and offer Salvation to the Black’s first, and other “oppressed people”, but, not to Whites unless they are willing to give all they have to Blacks. This cult that he belongs to is on the side of ISLAM, and is another indication that he is not of Christian beliefs, and lastly, all the videos of him mocking the Holy Bible and Christianity prove that he is not of the same God as Christians. God is not mocked,,, so,, either that was an Obama look a like, or he is not a Christian. He represents most of what is not Christian. He is a false prophet or deceiver at best. The man who would be King, is nothing but a fraudulent racist lying thieve, who should be impeached, convicted, charged with treason and summarily dealt with for the common good of the United States. His administrations support of Islam is proof of his heritage and cult beliefs, and not those of anyone I know. May he be assigned to a small jail cell to rot with his “fundamental transformation”.
Obama and Hillary do not speak for me. However, I will not rant and rave as some of you who have posted. Only God knows what will happen to any of us. And Heaven-Ghost – believe it or not there are black Jews which brings to mind – is Judaism a race or a religion? I met Sammy Davis, Jr. a black man who converted to Judaism. I married a white man who was born a Jew. And I think Obama is a Muslim regardless of how much he lies about it. I pray he is NOT reelected. However, ranting, raving, cursing, threatening, etc. will not help the cause of real Americans who want rid of him and soon.
Personally, I think the US is basically anti-Islam. Anyone who believes in freedom, christianity and human rights should be anti-islam. Islam is a doctrine of conquest. It does not tolerate freedom, christianity or individual human rights. It is for everything we stand against. Anyone who believes otherwise is either uneducated or a fool.
Walt – excellent, logical, insightful. It’s about time someone else said so…Reclaim America 2012. America – we must unite and bring people to their voting booth. But, remember to have Plan B in place in case our suspicion of Obutthead’s declaring Martial Law in order to usurp the election. FOOD, WATER, BULLETS, etc. – you know the drill by now.
If I’m brought down it will only be because I’m STANDING. Capitulation, on one’s knees is what they want…no American will give that to them. It isn’t in our DNA.
Pray brothers and sisters, our Heavenly Father has His plans…we just need to be ready.
Love to our beloved U.S.A. by the grace of G*d
Yes, Walt. Very well said. There is a distinct difference between Christian religions and Muslim religions; that being Christians are encouraged to preserve life and Muslims are ordered to take the life of it’s non-believers. It’s just like Hitler’s Communism; believe or die. I do have one word of warning for BIll Clinton…when Hillary starts wearing a Hijab, leave town.
I have yet to hear of his respect and appreciation for the Christian religion. Yet! He claims to be a Christian. All he has done for Christians is to try to take away our God given rights. Whether he likes it or not, AMERICA IS A CHRISTIAN NATION, established on Judeo-Christian values!! Vote in November to get this fraud out of our White House.
