Maybe if we apologized with greater deference

Tom Maguire notes the President's preposterous statement about the shooting at Ft Hood to the effect that there should be no backlash against Moslems - -a common refrain among the left at each of these outrages and one without any factual basis for such concern.

And then he brings his sights to focus on the New York Times:

Mr. Obama has made it a goal of his presidency to repair relations with Muslims around the world; in a major speech in Cairo this year, he called for a "new beginning" with the Muslim world. The shootings at Fort Hood, however, pose a different problem for the president, by shining a spotlight on the tensions Muslims feel inside the United States.

Some dots just can't be connected...
