Here are the comments that the pope made everyone...... I think the pope should leave Muslim's affiars alone sounds like the pope is siding with the jews......

Well, he was quoting someone and compared it to how Islam has spread through the sword and how the sword brings about error, which is what he was referring to when he said that Islam's motivation of spreading through violence has no place in religion, and which will not bring peace in the world.
He repeatedly said "I quote". Those were not his words.
The Pope wants to find good in all religions. This is something contrary to Traditional Catholic law that "outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation".
There is nothing hateful about the pope's comments, people want to hear what they want and will find any excuse to make a big deal over nothing.

I believe he picked a poor quote to use. Now if he used a muslim and a christian quote that countered each other it may have been different. What he should have done if he wanted to quote someone was to quote a muslim that believed in peace instead of a christian condemning mohammed.

Muslims are far from the only group he's attacked.
And...well, you wouldn't be surprised to hear the CEO of Coca-Cola talk about why Pepsi is inferior, would you?

I am no apologist for Catholicism nor the bishop of Rome, but I think he was pretty dead on. It is often not politically correct to speak the truth. Muslims have a hard time dealing with truth.

The emperor's words were, he said: "Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
Benedict said "I quote" twice to stress the words were not his and added that violence was "incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the soul".

Put your heart and eyes on God, not humans. People tend to look at the Pope, and think that he is some kind of God in earth. He is human, he sins like any other human.

It doesn't suprise me in the least, coming from a former Nazi-boy.
