Cain apologizes to Muslim leaders

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, who angered many Muslims with his opinions on Muslim loyalty to the United States, Sharia law, and mosque construction, today apologized to a group of Muslim leaders after a meeting at an Islamic center in Northern Virginia.

In a statement released after the meeting, Cain said he is “humble and contrite for any statements I have made that might have caused offense to Muslim Americans and their friends.” Cain added that he is “truly sorry for any comments that may have betrayed my commitment to the U.S. Constitution and the freedom of religion guaranteed by it.”
