Canadian Muslims Demand Apology

In a speech last week, Israeli Consul General Ya'acov criticized the Muslim community and said that "even though most Muslims are not terrorists, most terrorists are Muslims." He also mentioned the fact that the second most popular Muslim name is Osama.

The Muslim Canadian Congress are demanding an apology, calling the remarks "provocative and hateful." Think about all the terrorist attacks over the past few years - how many were committed by Muslims? I'm guessing it's close to 100%. Sure, there are probably some non-Muslims out there also, but the vast majority are committed by Muslims.

In typical fashion, some Muslims say that "real terrorism in the Middle East stems from the continued violation of Palestinian Human rights." Nothing like a dose of denial to confront the truth.
