"Canada: Islamic leader apologizes but won't quit"


"The latest on Elmasry from the Globe and Mail, with thanks to Ali Dashti:"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Mohamed Elmasry, the embattled president of the Canadian Islamic Congress, apologized again yesterday for his controversial remarks but did not resign -- despite repeated calls to do so from other Muslim and Jewish organizations.

Instead, the CIC issued a statement yesterday saying it accepted Mr. Elmasry's apology for saying that all Israelis over the age of 18 are fair targets for suicide bombers, but not his offer to resign, noting "one unintentional mistake does not wipe out his exemplary 30-year record."



An unintentional mistake that happens to coincide with fatawa issued by many Islamic clerics?"

"UNINTENTIONAL MISTAKE"?

Yeah. Right. The CIC lies about as well as John Kerry.

Hmmm, think he might have an "agenda"?
