I would rather he had not said anything at all.The muzzies are always looking for any little sings of weakness that they can exploit, he just gave them one, IMHO.
So, he apologized for their misunderstanding, but not for what he said. He did not intend to offend Muslims and had the MSM not taken his words out of context and emphasized them, then there probably would not have any reaction at all. How I despise the MSM.
