Kiss and Make Up

Gene Simmons has clarified his previous remarks against Islam, saying he was taken “out of context.”
Kiss bassist Gene Simmons, who sparked outrage in Australia after making comments seen as anti-Muslim, said he was speaking only of “extremists” and that his remarks were taken out of context.“I was asked about extremists,” he said Friday in an interview with The Associated Press. “And thatís what I was talking about ó only extremists.”
I would suggest that Muslim leaders accept this explanation, since they are constantly asking us to believe them when they invoke the “out of context” defence.

considering you don’t have your archives anymore, i’d like to remind everyone that when you first posted about the story, you added that you think he should limit his definition to “extremists”.
nice to know he thinks so too
i must be a bit brain dead.
are your archives back? they don’t seem to be when you look at the calendar on the left side of the site, but you link to the archive i’m talking about in this blog.
The archives exist in cyberspace, but not on this site. But Gary assures me he is working on getting them back on here!
