Muslim youth say 'We Are Sorry' (4.00 / 2)

We Are Sorry
In the middle of all the mayhem surrounding the Danish cartoons controversy, a group of Arab and Muslim youth have set up this website to express their honest opinion, as a small attempt to show the world that the images shown of Arab and Muslim anger around the world are not representative of the opinions of all Arabs. We whole-heartedly apologize to the people of Denmark, Norway and all the European Union over the actions of a few, and we completely condemn all forms of vandalism and incitement to violence that the Arab and Muslim world have witnessed. We hope that this sad episode will not tarnish the great friendship that our peoples have fostered over decades....
Vi Beklager Undskyld We Are Sorry

This is praiseworthy and shows that the violence in Syria and Lebanon is not something that can be pinned on all Muslims. The fact that these people chose to apologize for something others have done speaks well of these people even though this was not necessary. As I have said before the violence seems to have escalated when extremists hijacked peaceful demonstrations.

Excellent initiative. That's precisely what is needed and helps in defusing the tensions between "them" and "us".

Thanks for posting this.
