Obama: "The Future Must Not Belong To Those Who Slander Islam"

Isn't the corollary to that, "The future must belong to those who respect Islam"?
Perhaps even belong to Islam itself?
How far are we going to take this, exactly?

The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. But to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied. Let us condemn incitement against Sufi Muslims, and Shia pilgrims. It is time to heed the words of Gandhi: “Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.” Together, we must work towards a world where we are strengthened by our differences, and not defined by them. That is what America embodies. That’s the vision we will support.
Interesting that he sees an equivalence between "slandering" Mohammad and actual violence and mayhem.
The Islamist radicals agree. Obama is adding his voice to that bloody choir -- that "slandering" the prophet is precisely equal to murder and mayhem. Rather than challenging that mindset -- that free speech about a man who's been dead for 800 years is the equivalent of violence and bloody riot -- he endorses it.
So it's just a case of "We started it," isn't it?
By the way, after his eulogy to Chris Stevens, he then went right to the YouTube video, suggesting, once again, that it's all about the video.
