Notice that not ONCE is Israel named in this stuff.
When it is made reference to, the paragraph says something about suicide bombings in public places.
The pathology is so deeply ingrained that even when apologizing for atrocities in Israel, they cannot mention Israel.
When a Raghead, from anywhere, can not only apologize for terrorism, but also apologize for the crap they have put the Israelis through, then perhaps I might accept it.
In the meantime Camel-humpers, this is one (former) NY'er that managed to escape on 9/11 and I don't give a rat's backside --- an apology just won't cut it. You are uncivilized barbarians....
You got out of the towers? Congratulations in the most appropriate form... It's good that you made it.
WRT the rest of your post, I did notice the non-naming of Israel, though he DID say that the Jewish Conspiracy theory was bogus and should be discarded. He's a Pali, so I would guess that thinking of Israel as a nameless place may have been beaten into him from childhood, I dunno. However, as much as many of us here have been calling for such a statement from muslims ever since 9-11, it IS a good start. I will accept it in the spirit it was offered, even as I keep my powder dry and ready for the ragheads who do NOT think these were bad things that this guy has denounced and apologized for...
