Headline: Selma Blair issues apology for anti-Islam comments
Caption: The actress was forced to issue a lengthy statement of apology after a backlash to comments she made on social media. Responding to a video defending the Jewish community amidst last October's terrorist attacks in Israel, Selma wrote, "Thank you so much. Deport all these terrorist supporting goons. Islam has destroyed Muslim countries and then they come here and destroyed minds. They know they are liars. Twisted justifications. May they meet their fate." The comment set off a firestorm of outrage on behalf of Muslims everywhere, which prompted not only its deletion, but a formal apology from Selma.
