Why apologise?
How can I apologise for an act over which I had no control and no responsibility? Muslim scholars who condemned atrocities committed in Islam's name have almost always been ignored categorically by the news sources that are readily available (i.e the free newspapers that are being distributed in the public transport system) to the vox populi. It is only through discussions on Internet fora that I became aware of these statements. However, I haven't seen any statement made by Muslim scholars go so far as to apologise for terrorism in the name of Islam. I do not have the desire to demand such an apology as it is of no pragmatic use and intellectually a firm and clear condemnation is of much higher value.
It is my stern believe no such initiative would have arisen had Christianity been attacked in this way. This begs the question if there is perhaps a connection between the proven eagerness to use violence by elements of the side addressed in Fitna and the response this invokes in some of it’s potential victims. In other words, should this not be classified under the ‘Stockholm syndrome’ umbrella?
These 'Sorry' videos have to be regarded as mere wishy-washy empty vessels failing to address both the shortcomings of and the real issues that underlie the Fitna movie.
