The Embassy of the United States in
Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the
religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of
all religions.
Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States,Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others

The statement comes after a mob of Egyptians climbed the walls of the
embassy and tore down the American flag. Reuters reports:
Egyptian protesters scaled the walls
of the U.S. embassy in Cairo on Tuesday and pulled down the American flag
during a protest over what they said was a film being
produced in the United States that insulted Prophet Mohammad, witnesses said.
In place of the U.S. flag, the protesters tried to raise a black flag with the words “There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger”, a Reuters reporter said.

Once the U.S. flag was hauled down,
protesters tore it up, with some showing off small pieces to television
cameras. Then others burned remains.
“This movie must be banned
immediately and an apology should be made … This is a disgrace,” said

supporters who played a big role in the uprising that brought down Hosni
Mubarak last year.
