That's an interesting post.
What "extremist Muslims" has Mr Obama "Apologized" to? Please be specific.
His speech in Cairo, Egypt was broadcast to any muslim with a TV (or access). Did he disqualify the extremist in his speech? No, they were included.
And what did he say exactly in that speech? Hmm?
Actually, you know what, let me enlighten you as to what was actually said in that speech about "Mulim Extremists". I happen to have a transcript handy through a magical device known as "Google":
..."The first issue that we have to confront is violent extremism in all of its forms.
In Ankara, I made clear that America is not -- and never will be -- at war with Islam. (Applause.) We will, however, relentlessly confront violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security -- because we reject the same thing that people of all faiths reject: the killing of innocent men, women, and children. And it is my first duty as President to protect the American people.
The situation in Afghanistan demonstrates America's goals, and our need to work together. Over seven years ago, the United States pursued al Qaeda and the Taliban with broad international support. We did not go by choice; we went because of necessity. I'm aware that there's still some who would question or even justify the events of 9/11. But let us be clear: Al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 people on that day. The victims were innocent men, women and children from America and many other nations who had done nothing to harm anybody. And yet al Qaeda chose to ruthlessly murder these people, claimed credit for the attack, and even now states their determination to kill on a massive scale. They have affiliates in many countries and are trying to expand their reach. These are not opinions to be debated; these are facts to be dealt with.
Doesn't seem like an "apology" to me.
