BBC Radio host v insulting Islam, says Denmark spoke of 'freedom of expression' but Obama surprisingly spoke of 'responsibility'

.
Sun. 9/16/12, 1:15AM ET, Heard on BBC radio discussion of Muslim riots allegedly over an amateur film and the desire of Egypt's Prime Minister to prevent such films being made:

The two or three BBC hosts were saying they didn't think Barack Obama was going to change the US First Amendment to accommodate the Egyptian Prime Minister's wishes. One of the hosts speaking was female, said she was Muslim and grew up in the Sudan. She spoke with a British accent and said approximately the following:

I think it's fascinating to hear the different ways these things are handled. For example, when the Danish cartoon incident happened a few years ago, all we heard is that Denmark had freedom of expression. Now, with Barack Obama, we're hearing him talk about 'responsibility,' which is quite surprising.

===================================

Ed. note: In any walk of life, being weak when it matters most is repulsive. What's the point of being alive if you're not going to stand for something? In a big executive job (such as president of the US) the big money isn't being paid for the times when everything's rolling along smoothly. Big jobs are supposed to be about handling big risk. Recent US politicians have chosen to take no risk, stick with Saudi money, and screw America. It goes without saying Obama wasn't about to break that mold. Angelo Codevilla says this weakness engenders more hatred:

10/20/11, "The lost decade," Angelo M. Codevilla, Claremont Institute

"That would have pointed to the Middle East’s regimes, and to our ruling class’ relationship with them, as the problem’s ultimate source. The rulers of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Palestinian Authority had run (and continue to run) educational and media systems that demonize America. Under all of them, the Muslim Brotherhood or the Wahhabi sect spread that message in religious terms to Muslims in the West as well as at home.

• That message indicts America, among other things, for being weak.
  

And indeed, ever since the 1970s U.S. policy had responded to acts of war and terrorism from the Muslim world by absolving the regimes for their subjects’ actions."
