The Church of England should arrange a meeting with Muslim leaders to say sorry for the Iraq war, a group of senior bishops suggests today.
In the absence of a Government apology, a "truth and reconciliation commission" involving religious leaders could be formed to apologise for the West's "errors", the bishops say in a new report.
The report, "Countering Terrorism: Power, Violence and Democracy Post 9/11", was written by a working group of the Church of England's House of Bishops, chaired by the Bishop of Oxford, the Rt Rev Richard Harries.

I see they're adopting the French approach...
And if the muslims don't cut off their heads does that mean that they accept the apology? (Good grief, how stupid!)
These must be some of the same people who have embraced this idiot Bishop of New Hampshire, V. Gene Robinson. Some people are too stupid to be embarrassed. Most of us here in NH are embarrassed for them.
:(
Why? Saddam wasn't a muslim.
Who does the church on ingland worship?
Dear Muslims,
We're sorry that we put an end to the torture rooms, rape rooms, your interesting and innovative use of chipper/shredders.
We're sorry for putting your contractors, specifically those whos job it is to dig mass graves, out of work.
We're sorry that we allowed for free elections.
Sincerely,
The Church of England
Please...I Am so sick of this kind of SH!T. When are all these rejects gonna get their heads strait?
What is Wrong with all these idiots?
Increasingly the Church of England seems to be operating off a Monty Python script.
I suggest the muslim world apologize to the non-muslim world for the slayings, beheadings, brutality, etc., that are all done in the name of islam.
I've not heard any muslim leaders apologize for their brethren's actions which were conducted according to the writing in the quran.
Was Afghanistan OK then?
Shaddap!
Here is one reason for separation of church and state.
With "leaders" like this how can Christianity survive?
Hmmm, while they are at it maybe they should apologize to Germany for going to war with Hitler....England was so mean to all those nice Nazi's...
The Church that C.S. Lewis was an active member in doing such abomidable things these days...its really hard to believe...
"With "leaders" like this how can Christianity survive?"
Its not likely that they actually believe in Christian doctrine.
It's the water stupid.
"When are all these rejects gonna get their heads strait?"
They play into the fundamentalists hands saying "muslims" need to be apologized to. That 1. makes it a religious war and 2. rationalizes foreign fundamentalist claims.
If they were to apologize it would be to Iraqis. I doubt there are many Iraqis in England against the war.
"Church" simply isn't the word for these people.
They are traitors to Western civilization.
