<"...they have got to start by admitting that they belong to a cult of torture and slaughter, and they're sorry for all the grief they have caused to the whole damn world!">
I quite agree. They better begin with the unprovoked sacking, looting, raping, pillaging, and plundering of Jerusalem, then move on the same fate of Constantinople-cum-Istanbul, and later, the murderous swath Suleiman the "Magnificent" carved across Europe, stopping short outside of Vienna only due to a thunderstorm of freakish ferocity bogging down his machines of war.
The history of Islaam/muhammedanism is nothing but a history of the bloody and forceful proselytizing of neighboring villages, towns, city-states, and whole nations. This has ALWAYS been effected through the repetition of proscribed patterns and practices set forth by allah/satan, and the venal paedophile false prophet muhammed/beelzebub, prince of daemons.
They begin with apparently benign infiltration in ones and twos, steadily increasing until they have sufficient numbers to conspire upon and successfully enact other plans up to, and including political/religious assassinations to create a vacuum in local community leadership. You take out the strong, then you become the strong and rule by fear and terror.
Al-Uzza has always spread its worship thusly - never by the peaceful transformation of individual adherents' lives, nor through miraculous revivals, nor through a people repenting and humbling themselves as a nation (a la Nineveh, after whale-bait Jonah's fantastically persuasive preaching).
Let them apologise. The world has been waiting. For centuries.
I won't hold my breath...
A.A.C.
BRAVO!

Another excellent summation, counselor AAC. The blood soaked history of Islam is hard to put to the side, yet we must in cases like these to get at the truth. Which in the case of the Armanious family is still murky and shrouded in doubt.
