Apologising To Korea...

I think I have to temporarily interrupt the series of articles I have started. I could not stop myself from briefly commenting on the current situation.
We owe these people an apology. We, as Muslims, owe the Koreans an apology for the murder of the hostages in Afghanistan. This has nothing to do with Islam. The kidnappers are a fanatic group who would have commited the same atrocities had they been members of any other religion.
Added to that, I am disgusted at the doubtful silence of the Arab nations. What Taliban has commited has insulted Muslims more than any Danish cartoonist has ever done. When will we wake up to the true essence of our wonderful religion.
The Holy Quran, Chapter 60, Verses 8 and 9
[8] Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just.
[9] Allah only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you for (your) Faith, and drive you out, of your homes, and support (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumstances), that do wrong.
