"In the course of the article I described the 'god' worshiped by terrorists as 'a monkey god.' I was wrong and that was offensive.

He is known as a destroyer of evil and to inspire and liberate. Those are hardly the traits of whatever the Hell it is that terrorists worship and worthy of my respect and admiration not ridicule."
