From a humanistic/reasonable/libertarian point of view, what he did express in words is a matter of course (=Selbstverständlichkeit). The Prussian part in me thinks hat fulfilling just your most essential duty, does not need explicit thankfulness and recognition, because indeed - it is just filling your duty. A matter of course.
Beyond that, he too implies that Islam has nothing to do with Muslim hate and intolerance.
When he starts to call the ideology motivating these deeds and sentiments by its real name - totalitarianism, racism, supremacism and intolerance - then I will start to applaud him.
Right now, all he did was deceiving people - and probably also himself without realising it, I give him that - about the real cause of all this mess - the ideology.
