Has anyone heard of a Muslim apologising for anything to anyone?

What about an apology to the Chinese community of Indonesia for the rape and pillage of that nation's non-Muslim population or for the murder and utter devastation of Christian East Timor? What about the desecration of The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem by palestinian terrorists which included the use of pages from Bibles as toilet paper. What about the racist genocide in Darfur which should be easier as it is about Muslim v. darker skinned Muslim. What about the Islamic slave trade ongoing for centuries- to today. Think you as a Muslim should apologize to Black Africa for the slaughter and the enslavement of millions over centuries.

Throughout history Islam has been a religion of violence, of conquest and of subjugation of others from the very beginning with the slaughter of the Jews of Medina of Arabia - that's right Jews are not permitted visas to travel to Saudi Arabia today but at one time they were the majority of the population of the city of Medina - the second most "holy" city of Islam until the "prophet Mohammed" ... killed them en masse and enslaved the women to today with bin Ladens and his millions of followers.
