Why is the pope still living by the books of the fourteenth century?
At a time when religion is such a sensitive issue, and countries are trying to educate young minds to accept different faiths, and cultivate understanding between people of different faiths and close communication gaps, a man of such a rank as the Pope had to stand there before university students and ridicule Islam.
OK, I'm open to your point of view. I'd like to know why, you think, he did what he did.
It looks to me like he was criticizing Islam subtley.
Even if the Pope was merely quoting an emperor of the fourteenth century, why did he do so? We have enough hatred and enmity in the present world, and we don't need anymore.
Sure, he made no statement that he agreed or disagreed with the emperor of bygone days, but what was his ulterior motive in quoting such a remark?
Why did the Pope CHOOSE to quote a fourteenth-century man?

Bush is just an evangelical Christian who thinks anyone who does not see religion as he does, must change. He is scary in his stupidity, tho.
The Pope is a bigot. That is why he said what he did. He talks of Islam. Maybe he should remember the Inquisition and the Crusades. The Crusades were the bloodiest period of history-killing all who did not believe. And, killing alot who did, because they did not stop to ask. They call the Crusades holy wars-they really were for wealth and power. Church leaders and noblemen were able to get poor uneducated people to follow them, promising a better life, and a sure way to heaven.
Christianity is so holy and good? I have no respect for the man at all. He talks, and it is the average Catholic on the street who will suffer. Too bad the church cannot get rid of him. But, they knew what type of man they were voting in. Or, they should have known.

Time for Muslims to be sure what it really is they very almost beleive in and elements up using the fence. Don’t you spot the irony in Muslims with the flexibility to desecrate a Christian Temple in Jerusalem by employing spreading feces on images of Christ? yet a Christian chief (the Pope) can’t remind human beings of what 14th century Byzantine emperor Manuel Paleolous II stated about the income Mohammad countless hundred years in the past. It wasn’t even the Popes personal words or theory. He develop into repeating what Paleolous II supposedly stated. . What’s with the allergic reaction besides? The Muslims can dance contained in the streets; shout and yell; advance their fists all they prefer to yet i do not trust the Pope owes Muslims an apology for something. some have contended the terrorists are one of those radical Islam and a small minority of the religion. they say the large majority of Muslims are a non violent human beings. i'm putting out to ask your self about those claims when I see the suggested tens of millions contained in the streets protesting what the Pope repeated. 2 confronted or what? Is Islam a non violent faith or a violence depending faith? by employing what i'm seeing and listening to, i might want to ought to finish the latter.

It's about time someone took a stand against such a hate filled religion. It's either take a stand or Europe will finally be conquered by the same people that started the crusades.

I'm supposing you read the entire speech, but for those who haven't...
Here's a link to the BBC article, which contains a downloadable file of the speech.

The Muslims are purposely taking it out of context as an excuse to be offended, as usual. Its getting very old.

He quoted someone but what he should have done is say it in his own words. Instead of condemning the Pope, why don't to condemn medieval animals, aka jihadist, who think it is OK to push their idiocy by force of violence. It never ceases to amaze me what some people find offensive.

Perhaps because of the too many "Muslims" whose behavior toward all but themselves is mired in the 14th century?
