Shouldn't the Presidnet of Iran be giving an apology to the Jewish people for what he has said in regards to the Holacost and about wiping them off the map? How about the other countries in the Middle East that agree with him, shouldn't they be apologizing?
What he said was far worse than what the Pope said, by a long shot! Pope Benedict doesn't owe an apology!

Thank you...absolutely true, absolutely true.
I don't see the world demanding any apologies from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his truly offensive words. Muslims constantly say unbelievably vile things about non-muslims, especially Jews and Christians, all the time and no one demands apologies from them, why?
I am a Jewish believer in Christ by the way.

No,he shouldn't give any apology to the Jewish people...If he thinks that Holocaust never happen,it's his own business.He is not the only person in the world who thinks that...Unfortunately many can't tell this 'cos as u probably now in Europe and US is a crime.U could even go to prison for this...See the case in UK...
As for Israel should be wipe of the map...well,since Israel is the cause of the major problems in the Middle East,who can blame Ahmadinejad for what he said?
As for the Pope he was so wrong in telling those things,even if he quoted someone...and he should apologize...He was the last person I would have expect to make some comments about Islam is bad Christianity is good...He,in his position, has no right to criticize other religion.Saying that Islam was spread by sword?I think the Pope needs to be reminded how exactly Christianity has spread...

those two are very different things.
the Pope is supposed to be a religious leader.
he obviously made miss-comment. but Iranian president is a political leader and he's ready for the battle against America. he would say anything crazy as a strategy.
and what state of Israel has done in the area since western countries gave the land(of not their own) to the Jewish people, does at least half deserve these words.
and what i want you to know is, it's not always broad-casted on TV. middle eastern people are watching very very different news from what you see.

I think our muslim brothers misunderstood what the Pope Benedict was trying to say. Although I certainly hope that no Christian in any part of the world would get their heads cut off or get blown up by a fanatic because of it,but somewhere in the back of my mind, as appalling as it may be, I’m afraid the inevitable will happen

you know if the Pope is the better man he will say it was a poor choice of examples to illutrate his point. That guy in Iran was on the photos taken at the hostage crisis in the seventy's no way can you expect him to do something as edifying as admiting he is in error. The people who follow him and are reachable will respond more positively if he admits his folly. The ones who are totally seeing themselves as victims are not going to change anytime soon and we need the others to see we are not out to get them.

Unfortunately, it'll never happen, so long as the world bends over backwards, lest it offend any Muslims. But call for the annhilation of an entire class of people, or an entire country, so long as they are pro-West, and all is fine. Unbelievable.
And the Pope didn't even insult Islam itself. He was reciting a dialogue that took place centuries ago. Anyone who bothers to read the text of his speech (available on msnbc.com) would see that. Oh, I forgot, the people calling out for death and more jihad probably can't read. Let's blame the West for that too.

I would like to hear Ahmahinejad give an apology first before the Pope does.

Pope Benedict is an old dirty bastard, pedophilia. He has no right to say our religion/prophet is "evil". He owe an apology! He must confess his sin too.
