Have you actually read what the Pope said?
Here is a link to the English translation of the Pope's controversial speech: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/speeches/2006/september/documents/hf_ben-xvi_spe_20060912_university-regensburg_en.html
With love in Christ.

The Pope is a brave man. He has found the courage to challenge the exhaulted Islamic faith. Just as President Bush has done.
Muslims don't want we Christians to see the irony in Muslims being able to desecrate a Christian Temple in Jerusalem by spreading feces on images of Christ? But a Christian leader (the Pope) can’t remind people of what 14th century Byzantine emperor Manuel Paleolous II said about the profit Mohammad several hundred years ago. It wasn’t even the Popes own words or thought. He was repeating what Paleolous II supposedly said. . What’s with the hypersensitivity anyway?
The Muslims can dance in the streets; shout and yell; raise their fists all they want to but I do not believe the Pope owes Muslims an apology for anything.
Some have contended the terrorists are a form of radical Islam and a small minority of the faith. They say the large majority of Muslims are a peaceful people. I am beginning to wonder about these claims when I see the reported millions in the streets protesting what the Pope repeated.
Two faced or what? Is Islam a peaceful religion or a violence based religion? By what I am seeing and hearing, I would have to conclude the latter.

He did not call Mohammed evil; he quoted a Byzantine emperor to illustrate a point but he did not say he agrees. He was potentially unwise to do so, though, as Muslims are *so* easily offended and roused to violence.

i think he is a very ignorant man, who should get his facts right before he opens his mouth. for someone who has so much influence in the world he should be more open minded and take care in what he says.

Yes, considering the fact that a Muslim shot the last one.
