isn't it a sign of weakness when a religious figure criticizes other religions and religious beliefs rather than preaching his own religion??

Yes, it is a sign of weakness. Can't believe a Pope says such thing.
How can he be a religious leader being so intolerant bigot.

No sir. It's a sign of great strength to tell it as it really is. The Pope was right on Target.
Isn't this the same Pope who who defended Islam when they published the Cartoons on the Prophet Mohammad?
I hope Islam will heed the Pope's advice on dialog among true Muslims.

Pope Benedict XVI said, "Violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the soul, not to act in accordance with reason is contrary to God's nature."
In preaching Christianity, the Pope criticized fanaticism of all kinds, Christian and Islamic.
To remain silent is to support violence and terrorism.
Do you disagree with the Pope?
With love in Christ.

There is nothing wrong with the pope ar anyone else criticizing islam or anything else they don't agree with. The problem comes when we attack the believer and not the belief. I can say that islam is barbaric, because it is and I can pray for it's believers because they are misguided.
We are all worth a Son to God.

The current pope used to be in charge of the office that runs the Inquisitions, so what else would you expect?
I wonder when he is going to restore the auto de fe?

Maybe, but the Pope has a freedom of speech.

It's a sign of a weakness when people have to kill to get people to join their religion.
