A New Jersey councilman apologized Wednesday after receiving criticism for a post he made on Facebook that called Chattanooga gunman Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez “Muslim scum.”

“Murdering bastard. Rot in hell Muslim scum,” Hamilton Councilman Ed Gore, a Republican, wrote hours after Abdulazeez shot and killed five U.S. military service members July 16, The Trentonian reported.

When someone responded by telling Mr. Gore not to hold back, he added, “Oh I never hold back on domestic terrorists.”

Imam Qareeb Bashir, president of the Islamic Council of Greater Trenton, said he was “appalled and really disappointed” in Mr. Gore’s comments.

Good point. Your post made me go back and actually read his statement instead of just skimming. Thanks.

I don't believe that CAIR, or any other islamist group, is going to view Gore's remarks as anything but a "non-apology" apology. However, the jihadists will gladly accept any victory that defeatists might hand them by going along with the canard that Gore offered a real mea culpa. You know, it would be so nice if some of our friends on The Right would exercise a little more discernment when they assess people's remarks, especially before they issue public responses, as they tend to confirm all the negative stereotypes about people on The Right lacking wit and discernment.

Awesome apology. For the first time ever in my life I’m going to say “Re-elect Gore”

Muslim scum is redundant.

He types “Another reason for gun control.”

Ehhhh, that is advocating gun control in my book. Below that statement he types the Marines should be armed and yes I agree with that.

Are you kidding me? This is one of the best non-apology apologies I’ve seen in a while.
