"Politician sorry for Islam-violence letter". Norway in the news again...

The headline above, from "IceNews, should really read "Politician sorry for telling the truth".
The self-righteous "professor and Islam researcher", Anne Roald, who does the telling off -- like a strict school ma'am -- says: "... the idea that violence and Islam are linked indicates a distinct 'lack of history'".
She should perhaps say, rather more truthfully, that it indicates "he has not been sufficiently brainwashed".
Or, to turn it around "the idea that violence and Islam are not linked indicates a severe lack of either intelligence/common sense, or honesty".
Still, the apologiser in question, Trond Roed, does seem to have gone rather over the edge, in calling for "psychological de-programming".  Hmmm...
For a start, Trond, it would simply take too long!
I suspect -- I acknowledge, with no evidence -- that Roed apologised for the 7-year old letter because he didn't want to be smeared as a mass-murder enabler, in the wake of the criticisms being heaped on critics of Islam, in the wake of Breivik's murder spree.  Lefties are taking the opportunity of shutting up all criticism they can.
