Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has apologized to Muslim leaders who accused him of taking Israel's side in the violence in Lebanon by going to a pro-Israel rally and ignoring their invitations to interfaith peace vigils.
Villaraigosa met with 10 Muslim leaders Sunday and explained that a mix-up by his staff had prevented him from seeing their invitations, said his spokeswoman, Janelle Erickson.
"The mayor did apologize that the staff didn't place the meeting on his schedule sooner," said Erickson, describing Sunday's hour-long discussion as "open and friendly."
Villaraigosa called the meeting after the Muslim leaders held a news conference Friday accusing him of not representing all groups touched by the conflict

Groveling dhimmi.
apologizes?
they came to america for america
let them accept her values or take a hike
by apology, the dilution continues
and there will be no america
He should have told them to p*ss off!
That about sums it up.
I mean how pathetic. Apparently he lacks the testicular fortitude to stand up for the right side on this...oh yes he's a democrat.
He should have asked for addresses for future targeting needs.
LOL
This is what happens when you bring in too many people who will never believe the same as you do on a myriad of issues.
We have sewn the seeds of open rebellion and I don't like our prospects for future peace on our own soil.
IMO, it's only a matter of time before the suicide bombing starts here.
Indeed. Only a matter of time.
Will it be posssible to get a hunting license then?
Seriously, we've already had isolated incidents: the bust in Florida last month, the shooting in Seattle last week, the islamawhacko at UNC last year, the shooting at LAX in 2002.
As another poster on another thread stated, what the heck business is it of Villaragosa's anyway, as mayor of LA, a conflict in the Middle East? But if you want to make a statement, you might as well be on the right side of things and stand up for yourself. But no, he's trying to be everything to everyone.
That's true. But then the media loves to play them off as not Muslim related, just isolated incidents.
Yes, I know that they are told what evil mo-fos we are day in and day out at their mosques, but that doesn't mean anything...
Our media is complicit. The sooner we clean house there, the better IMO.
...or a commie.
Villaragosa is now part of the problem and not the solution. A gutless , disgusting excuse for a man .
Yes, they will. Just not bold enough to take that step yet.
It will come in time.
You got it right. It is racist to think that you can support Israel and not be anti-muslim. 20% of Israeli's are Arab(about 1/2 each Christian and Muslim).
What a pu$$y.
If he offended then he must be a Cracker!?
Mayor Tony should have told the Muslims to stop spamming him.
Instead he apologizes. What a wimp.
The Muslims decided to come to America and live here. Why should they get special treatment? Answer: They shouldn't.
But Mayor Tony is a tower of Jello. How nice for us that he is proving it.
Gawd.
