Man who thought Garwood flag was ISIS apologizes for viral tweet

The man who tweeted a photo of a Garwood home flying what he believed was an ISIS flag has apologized to the flag-owner, saying he now understands it is a symbol of the man's Islamic faith, although it has been misappropriated by the Iraq jihadist organization.
Marc Leibowitz tweeted the photo of the flag flying outside Mark Dunaway's Winslow Place home on Tuesday and the tweet went viral. It has been retweeted more than 600 times as of Thursday afternoon, and has sparked outrage and even threats directed at Dunaway.

He apologized but he won't take down the man's address from the tweet that accused him in the first place.
