#1 It is also remarkable that Obama, the chief law enforcement officer of the US, speaking to a foreign audience did not mention important facts:

Personal opinion aside, Jones was exercising his free speech rights. What he did was perfectly legal.

It is one of the duties of the US Federal Government to protect the constitutional system in the US, American's constitutional rights and freedoms from outside interference.

This may be obvious to most Americans but it would have been news to the Afghans. Coming from Obama, this would have been a strong message.

#5 And for some additional perspective the US military did burn Bibles in Afghanistan with the intent to keep these books' message from the Afghan people.

Yes, these Bibles were sent unsolicited and proselytizing was against orders, but in the end the US gov burned Bibles as trash, instead of respectfully sending them back.

Selective outrage indeed!

#6 Hit 'Submit' too soon...

In summary Barack H. Obama as CIC of the US armed forces is responsible for what he himself called "act(s) of extreme intolerance and bigotry."
