I do agree with your remark that apologies are too little, too late, unless the apologies are followed by action by more than a few scattered Muslims.

I DO agree with the sentiment that Muslims in general, and American Muslims in particular have not done enough to denounce some of the more recent and disgusting actions that Muslims have taken. I'm not saying that Christians and Jews don't have things to apologize for from time to time. Just that your silence adds fuel to some of the uglier sentiments that we have witnessed here.

I think that most Christians (and Jews) are very open about their condemnation of acts that are wrongly claimed to be done in name of our religion, for instance abortion clinic crimes, or the so-called Baptists who harrass the families at military funerals. Christians are not supposed to be haters. We are taught to hate the sin, and love the sinner. But terrorism is not just a sin and Muslims who whine about their rights, and ethnic profiling have to realize that they have earned the mistrust of the American people with their silence. If the American Muslims are not part of the solution, they are part of the problem.
