"If I offended any Muslims ...."

Oh, surely not...
When gunman Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez shot and killed five U.S. military service members July 16 in Chattanooga, Tenn., a Hamilton councilman went to Facebook to voice his sentiments.
“Murdering bastard. Rot in hell Muslim scum,” Ed Gore wrote at 6:04 p.m. July 16 in a Facebook post. When someone responded to Gore’s statement with a comment telling Gore to not hold back, Gore added, “Oh I never hold back on domestic terrorists.”
Gore apologized Wednesday in an interview with The Trentonian while also explaining why he wrote the controversial statement.
“Certainly I don’t mean all Muslims are scum,” Gore said Wednesday. “If I offended any Muslims, I am sorry. I would certainly hope all Muslims would join me in condemning the murder of innocent Americans anywhere in the world.”
Funny, I couldn't find any similar condemnation of Dylan Roof. But then he isn't designated a "domestic terrorist." Roof is just an All-American killer and that's no biggie. In fact, you could say he was just using his 2nd Amendment remedies.
