We are sorry, Vi Beklager, Undskyld. “To The People of Norway and Denmark, WE ARE SORRY.”
So who are you, other than an unnamed Muslim? What is the value of an unsigned, unattributed apology? We could say such an apology is not worth the paper it is printed upon, however, this apology was not printed on paper - it exists only in cyberspace, causing Kerfuffles to wonder about Glen Reynolds and “Instapundit” that such a site was applauded and linked. Captain’s Quarters did the same, albeit expressing some skepticism, in contrast to Instapundit.
There you have it. Whoever it is that is “sorrynorwaydenmark.com” says “he/she/it/they” “is/are” so sorry. The domain “sorrynorwaydenmark.com” is listed:

It’s a total fraud. It’s a crock! And it’s so sad to see so many, so eager to fall for it.

This type of behavior appears more racist than rseponsible. How does attacking American embassies resolve anything. America is not even involved in the cartoon issue. I think this just shows how irrational, and racist, these individuals are. There are many good Muslims, these ones perpetraing violence are not. I also wonder why more moderate Muslims have not condemmed the violence, I sure hope they don’t condone this racist behavior.

Yes, that is the question we have all been asking since September 11th - where are the moderate Muslims to speak out against such violence? Perhaps we should stop drinking the Kool-aide and face the facts. In a religion that has children calling for murder of those who criticize a prophet, and with a god who calls for beheadings of those who speak out, perhaps the moderates ARE the Muslims we see in the streets with the placards reading “Freedom Go To Hell”.

I don’t think it’s a hoax, but I find it very telling that moderate Muslims speaking out against violence have to keep themselves so anonymous. It lets you know who’s in charge in the ummah, doesn’t it?

Well, if you register a website through godaddy you will be registered in Arizona, regardless of where you live!
So these guys could well be anywhere… I saw an article about an interview with one of them in a Norwegian paper, sounds genuine to me

You may be correct, however the lack of transparency troubles me. How can one accept an apology from someone without knowing who he is?

So there are no Muslims in Scotsdale, Arizona?

Yes Tim - There are very likely Muslims in Scottsdale. So …?
