Scottish Cardinal urges Muslims to apologize for 9/11 — and they’re outraged
From Dhimmi Watch:
Surprise, surprise — an unusual comment from a Christian leader, and an entirely predictable response. “O’Brien urges Muslims to say sorry for 9/11,” by Eddie Barnes in The Scotsman, with thanks to all who sent this in:
THE leader of Scotland’s Roman Catholics, Cardinal Keith O’Brien, has called for Muslims to apologise for the 9/11 and 7/7 bomb attacks, declaring that the public should not have to live “in fear of attack” from believers of the Islamic faith.In a move that has provoked a storm of outrage, the cardinal claims that, as the Pope apologised for the offence caused last month by his comments on the Islamic faith, so Muslims should now step up and say sorry for the attacks carried out in the name of their faith.
O’Brien said: “There have been no apologies for the shooting of the nun [in Somalia after the Pope made his remarks], let alone for 9/11 or the London bombings. I would like to see some reciprocal moves from the Islamic side. We shouldn’t have to live in fear of attack from Muslims.”…
Last night, the cardinal’s views on Islam had stirred up a new controversy, with Muslim leaders furious at the comment. They claimed that as the terrorist attacks were carried out by extremists, mainstream Muslims who had already condemned the actions had nothing to apologise for.
Exactly which mainstream Muslims apologized for the attacks? I must have missed it.
