Apologize for Iraq war

Yahoo! News reported The Church of England offered to take the lead in reconciling with Muslims by apologizing to their leaders for the US-led war in Iraq if the British government fails to do so.

I am not in favor of a government run church, but in this case I thought the Queen was the head of the Church of England. Is she aware of what a "working group of the Church of England's House of Bishops" are doing? And are the Muslim groups going to apologize for what the Muslim Saddam Hussain did to his people, and what the Taliban protected al Qaeda did on 9/11, as well as what British Muslims did on 7/7

The proposal was contained in a report, entitled "Countering Terrorism: Power, Violence and Democracy Post-9/11" which written by a working group of the Church of England's House of Bishops. "We do believe that the church has a visionary role for reconciliation, beyond that of any government," the Bishop of Oxford, Right Reverend Richard Harris, told BBC radio. "The Christian church in particular has a mandate to work for reconciliation," he said Monday.

DamianPenny blogged I might - might - have something less than contempt for this if the Church of England, in return, demands that Muslim leaders apologize for 9/11; suicide bombing; the provocation of civil war in Iraq; the expulsion of the Jews from Arab countries after the founding of Israel; genocide in Sudan; sharia in Nigeria; persecution of non-Muslims in Saudi Arabia and Iran; persecution of the Kurds in Turkey, Iran and Saddam's Iraq; destruction of these giant Buddhas by the Taliban; Iranian, Syrian and Saudi sponsorship of Islamofascist terror; state-sanctioned promotion of anti-Semitic hatred and Holocaust denial; and the fact that every Arab state is less democratic than American-occupied Iraq. But gosh darn it, I can't see that happening...
