A little heat and boy do they back pedal! This guy, who is apparently the leading iman in Canada, spouted off on TV over the weekend, saying "he supported calls by religious leaders for Iraqis to wage holy war against the United States in the Middle East." So know, his citizenship status is being looked into.
Now, he's trying to make it better:
Under questioning by reporters yesterday, the imam took pains to stress his remarks apply strictly to the Middle East, and he is not encouraging Muslims in Canada to engage in violence against the United States.
Yeah, that makes it all okay!
