The Pope on Sunday apologised in person for causing offence in the speech.
"I am deeply sorry for the reactions in some countries to a few passages of my address at the University of Regensburg, which were considered offensive to the sensibility of Muslims," he told pilgrims.

I hope this serves to appease hearts and to clarify the true meaning of my address

Text of Pope's apology
Excerpts from original speech
"These in fact were a quotation from a medieval text, which do not in any way express my personal thought.
"I hope this serves to appease hearts and to clarify the true meaning of my address, which in its totality was and is an invitation to frank and sincere dialogue, with mutual respect."
my comments, Muslims deserved the Apology , No leader should post such comments about other religion, even if he was just quoting some 400 years old text,he was intolerate and very disrespectful towards the muslim.
