Canadian Islamic leaders protested an Israeli diplomat’s statement that most terrorists are Muslim. Ya’acov Brosh, Israel’s representative in Toronto and western Canada, made the comment earlier this month during a Muslim-Jewish dialogue session at a Toronto-area synagogue. Asked later for an apology, Brosh said in an e-mail that he regretted that his words had caused offense, adding that he believed “my message was wrongly interpreted by some people who attended the event.”
