Muslims want Republican presidential candidate to apologize

Walker made that false claim while campaigning in New Hampshire.
“These types of inaccurate statements reflect a lack of understanding of Islam and Muslims that is, frankly, not presidential,” said CAIR Government Affairs Manager Robert McCaw. “If Mr. Walker believes only a ‘handful’ of Muslims are moderate or reasonable, then he is ignoring the very clear reality that violent extremists murder more Muslims than they do people of any other faith.”
Moreover, Wisconsin governor taunted the US president Barack Obama and said: “You’ve got to identify who the enemy is loud and clear,” Wisconsin State Journal reported on Sunday, August 23.
“We’ve said it repeatedly, it’s radical Islamic terrorism, it is a war not against only America and Israel, it’s a war against Christians, it’s a war against Jews, it’s a war against even the handful of reasonable, moderate followers of Islam who don’t share the radical beliefs that these radical Islamic terrorists have.”
Defending the governor’s remarks, spokeswoman Ashlee Strong said in a statement: “The Governor knows that the majority of ISIS’s victims are Muslims. Muslims who want to live in peace — the majority of Muslims — are the first target of radical terrorists.
“Under the Obama-Clinton foreign policy doctrine, we’ve been abandoning our traditional Muslim allies in the Middle East.”
He added that the campaign’s follow-up statement about Muslims wanting to live in peace encompassed “exactly what he was saying.”
The presidential candidate offensive remarks came a month after one of his advisors called for using nuclear weapons on a number of Muslim-majority nations and for the deportation of undocumented immigrants of Middle Eastern descent.
Later on, Walkers distanced his campaign from the comments of his foreign affairs advisor.
