Yeah, or he should come up with some explanation. I feel he should have left Islam out of it. It was redundant as the whole world already witnessed Islam's notoriety.

No he should not!
Don’t you 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.

The pope,originally is/must be a character/icon of religion...but besides that,if he's a political icon(which he surely is),yes,he has to be also politically correct...I don't think he's a man of peace,because he can get seriously offensive with no hesitation and that may further corrupt the communication and dialogue between muslim and christian communities,which is one of the reasons what happens around in the first place...Yes,I believe the pope should apologise to the muslim community,and the muslim community should apologise to the christians too...

no, no,no, NO, and HELL NO.
he has the right to FREE SPEECH.
Look at how much bad crap is said about christianity every day, you do not see them rioting do you?
you do not see them DEMANDING appologies do you?
same can be said for every religion EXCEPT Islam.
now i have Muslim firends, they are not all fanatic radicals.
but come on here people, killing people over a CARTOON?
rioting over a comment made by a senile man?
and you claim to be peacful?
Osama Bin Laden has done more to destroy the image of Islam than any christian ever has. we do not see you rioting against Al Quida. or any of the other people that are really messing up your religion,,,but if a Chrisitan quotes a 700 year old document in a speech,,,look the hell out the death threats will rool in.

The reaction to the quote he study proves the quote became drastically genuine, and the Muslims are conscious of it too, it quite is why they made this form of protest "Methinks they protest too loudly". He did not apologise for what he reported, what she reported became that he became sorry with regard to the reaction to what he reported, not the comparable ingredient in any respect. The backlash does not justify the quote, the backlash confirms the spirit of the quote. The pope hit the nail on the top by ability of making use of that quote, and the Muslims by ability of their strikes confirmed that he did.

The most powerful Christian in the world has a lecture taken entirely out of context by 'muslim scholars' (taking several days for them to do so), in order to rabble-rouse in muslim countries.In fact, any apology should come from these so-called scholars.
The Pope has not said anything he should apologise for, he merely quoted an historical reference.
I notice several of the same non-Christian writers to these pages rush to the attack whenever anything 'Christian' is mentioned. It makes interesting reading to see what other letters they have written and/or responded to.

For what? Quoting a 14th century King accurately during a class discussion? Are we to purge all references throughout history that people don't like and pretend they were never said?

He should, but he won't. He doesn't accept Islam as being equal to Catholicism. He is intentionally stirring the pot, preparing for the next crusade. Besides the Catholics are losing Europe to Islam.
If the muslims have it together they will start airing quotes of Martin Luther, that will be interesting.

Muslims should apologize to humanity for being such an embarrassment.
