The future must not belong to those who target
Coptic Christians in Egypt — it must be claimed

00:00:08.200,00:00:13.733
by those in Tahrir Square who chanted,
"Muslims, Christians, we are one."

00:00:13.733,00:00:19.800
The future must not belong to those who bully women —
it must be shaped by girls who go to school,

00:00:19.800,00:00:33.167
and those who stand for a world where our daughters
can live their dreams just like our sons.

00:00:33.167,00:00:38.000
The future must not belong to those corrupt few who
steal a country’s resources — it must be won by the

00:00:38.000,00:00:45.467
students and entrepreneurs, the workers and business
owners who seek a broader prosperity for all people.

00:00:45.467,00:00:51.400
Those are the women and men that America stands with;
theirs is the vision we will support.

00:00:51.400,00:01:01.067
The future must not belong to those who slander the
prophet of Islam. But to be credible, those who condemn

00:01:01.067,00:01:07.133
that slander must also condemn the hate we see in
the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated,

00:01:07.133,00:00:00.000
or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied.
