[Vision2020] Tweets from the Cairo Embassy

[Moscow Cares]

The freedoms of religion and speech are the very cornerstones of our culture here in the Nifty Fifty (USA).

But when one's freedom of speech threatens another's freedom of religion, what is to be done?

Although the YouTube video, in question, seriously insulted a religious deity, consequently resulting in the murders of four Americans . . .

Are we to hold a person into account for their freedom of speech (albeit inappropriate)?

Seeya round town, Moscow.
