Selma Blair is apologizing for an Islamophobic remark she made on social media … and he or she’s promising to do higher.

In her since-deleted remark, Selma wrote … “Deport all these terrorist supporting goons. Islam has destroyed Muslim countries and then they come here and destroy minds. They know they are liars. Twisted justifications. May they meet their fate.”
Selma took a ton of warmth from people who mentioned she was a raging, Islamophobic bigot.
In an apology shared Tuesday on IG, Selma says … “I mistakenly and inadvertently conflated Muslims with Radical Islamists and fundamentalists, a terrible err in my words, and resulted in hurting countless people I never meant to, and I deeply regret this.”
Selma says she deleted her remark after she realized she was amplifying hate and misinformation … and says she now understands why she upset the Muslim neighborhood.
