When will the groveling end? Dear Lee, When will the unseemly groveling end? According to an AP story (below), "A senior Pentagon official apologized Friday to Washington-area Muslims for the burning of Qurans…" Not just once, but multiple times. One of those apologized to was Mohamed Magid, president of ISNA (Islamic Society of North America).
Scroll to the end of the article below and you'll be shocked to learn that one Muslim interviewed did not believe the latest apology was sufficient. No amount of groveling will satisfy, so enough already! Pentagon apologizes for Koran burning to unindicted co-conspirator at terror-linked VA mosque Posted on February 27, 2012 by creeping This government is complicit if not treasonous. Muslims are killing Americans and NATO is promising to prosecute those who burned Korans used to send messages among jihadis. via Pentagon official apologizes for Quran burning – USATODAY.com. STERLING, Virginia (AP) – A senior Pentagon official apologized Friday to Washington-area Muslims for the burning of Qurans at a military base in Afghanistan. Peter Lavoy, acting assistant secretary of defense for Asia and Pacific security affairs, said the military is investigating what occurred and that all 140,000 coalition troops in Afghanistan are being retrained in the handling of religious materials. Lavoy apologized multiple times during a brief speech during prayer services at the ADAMS Center in Sterling, one of the largest mosques in the country. "I come here today to apologize on behalf of the Department of Defense for the incident that took place in Afghanistan this week," Lavoy told worshippers, saying the burnings were done "unknowingly and improperly." Lavoy's remarks at the suburban Washington mosque follow protests across Afghanistan over the burning of several Qurans at a U.S. military base. Military officials say at least 20 people have died in the protests, including two U.S. soldiers. Imam Mohamed Magid, executive director of the ADAMS Center mosque and president of the Islamic Society of North America, said Friday's session was designed to let Muslims around the world know that American Muslims were also concerned about the incident but were able to express those concerns and receive an apology and promise of a thorough investigation without resorting to violence. "It was very satisfying, very heartwarming to hear an apology three times in one speech," Magid said after the services. Magid said Muslims across the world are rightfully concerned and upset to hear that Qurans were burned in a careless manner. But he said that "absolutely the violence we have seen is unacceptable from an Islamic perspective." Magid said the Pentagon reached out to him and other Muslim leaders earlier this week, and he went to the Pentagon on Thursday to meet with officials, who offered to come to his mosque and speak directly to its members. "As American Muslims we engage with our government and we hold them accountable if something goes wrong," Magid told nearly 1,000 worshippers during midday services. Lavoy did not take questions from worshippers or reporters after Friday's speech. Not everyone who heard Lavoy's speech was satisfied. Mauri Saalakhan of Silver Spring, Md., who operates the Peace Thru Justice Foundation and came to ADAMS Center to hear Lavoy's remarks, said that an apology is helpful but insufficient. He said he simply does not believe that the Qurans were mistakenly burned and that the burnings of the Quran are relatively minor compared to the suffering that has been inflicted on the Afghan people as a result of the war.

attacker, lectures the victim! Dear Lee, In Pennsylvania, a Muslim man assaults a non-Muslim man. Assault is caught on video. Police officer testifies that the assault occurred. Open and shut case, right? Read the shocking account by Pamela Geller of how a Pennsylvania judge, who was first identified as a Muslim but now denies it, dismissed criminal charges against the Muslim assailant (highlights added). Hundreds of threats for assault victim in case dismissed by Quran-minded judge http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/26/hundreds-of-threats-for-assault-victim-in-case-dismissed-by-quran-minded-judge/ By Pamela Geller - The Daily Caller The Pennsylvania man assaulted in October by a Muslim who was offended by his Halloween parade "Zombie Muhammad" costume said he has received hundreds of death threats after a judge dismissed his attacker's criminal charges. Ernest Perce told The Daily Caller that Talaag Elbayomy, a Muslim man, "grabbed me, choked me from the back, and spun me around to try to get my sign off that was wrapped around my neck." Elbayomy reportedly admitted to a police officer, Sgt. Bryan Curtis, that he attempted to rip Perce's fake beard off, remove his "Muhammed of Islam" sign and choke him. Perce said he believes Elbayomy thought it was illegal in the United States to insult Muhammad, as it is in countries whose governments are based on Sharia law. Last week Judge Mark Martin sided with Perce's attacker, saying in open court that Perce would be put to death in Muslim societies for showing disrespect to Muhammad. The judge dismissed the charges against Elbayomy. "You're way outside your boundaries of First Amendment rights," the judge said during the trial. "Martin's decision effectively says that Muslims do not have to learn to accept blasphemy against their religion without violence." Perce told TheDC. "Yet when you are a citizen of the USA, you accept our Constitution. Free speech is our foundation." (RELATED: Judge dismisses charges against Muslim man who attacked atheist dress as 'Zombie Muhammad') The same judge is also threatening Perce with contempt of court for making and sharing a recording of the courtroom hearing. Listen to the courtroom proceedings: Perce says he has received 471 threats against his life in the short time since his attacker was acquitted. "People have said that they would kill me, rip my eyes out, run me over, shoot me and then laugh at me, since I have blasphemed Muhammad," he told TheDC. "They say I will be found out and hung in front of my family." During his trial, Talaag Elbayomy claimed he never made physical contact with Perce, creating what Judge Martin called a he-said/she-said situation. Sgt. Curtis testified that Perce's version of events was correct, but the judge ignored his testimony. Judge Martin also refused to allow a video taken the night of the attack to be entered as evidence. Perce told TheDC that he believes Martin did not allow the video to be shown in his courtroom because he "would be offended." In fact, Martin told Perce during the proceedings that "I'm a Muslim" and "I find it offensive." Perce says Martin held a copy of the Quran while admonishing him for disrespecting Muhammad with his costume. (Judge Martin has since denied being a Muslim.) Martin's threat of contempt charges came after Perce posted his own audio recording of the proceedings on YouTube. Perce says the judge initially gave him permission to release it, but the court later instructed him to erase it. He told TheDC that he wrote to Bonnie Snyder, administrative secretary of the Cumberland County District Court in Pennsylvania, explaining that "Judge Martin gave both parties the right/permission to record the proceeding on our cellular devices." Snyder denied this. "Are you instructing me via Judge Martin to destroy or delete and not use my audio recording?" he asked. "Yes, since you were not authorized to make any recordings," Snyder replied. Perce said Judge Martin told him, "I will hold you in contempt of court under section 42 of the Judicial System" if he didn't remove the audio from YouTube. "He denies this now," said Perce, "but this is what he told me."
