Only if Muslims leaders apologise for saying that all Christians should die.
Never going to happen.

This is the only apology that should be offered:
We are sorry that you follow a "prophet" that was a child molester, and believes the murder of those who don't agree with you will get you some virgins. And that your religion stones women that don't cover their face and don't cow-tow to your world view. We are sorry that we treat the monsters we have captured to good meals, and we don't torture them to protect us from you decapitating us infidels. I guess since al-queda doesn't follow the Geneva convention in the least we could just put a bullet in the back of their head instead of trying to be humane but we are just westerners. We are also sorry for a religion of peace you decide that the best way to show your displeasure involves destroying churches and by blowing yourself up. I'm sorry that what the Pope quoted was accurate.
I hope this apology suffices to appease their anger. If not, then they can wait we will make room for you at Gitmo.

yes yes yes. the pope should and apologise and also get down from his high horse and commence building very strong peace briges. it is very "unpapal" for a pope to add to the current world tension. in any case theologically the statement by whoever he quoted originally is not correct and the pope is literate enough to rsearch and confirm that. the impression is that he is a believer of the quotation and he wants to preach it. he deserves the condemnation of even the christendom for his unguarded utterance and low premium for world peace.

Why should he?
He has not told any thing wrong; in fact, what the King of 14 th Century told, which the Pope has quoted, is hundred percent correct. Long live the Pope......

I dont know the entire context.
The quote is true about the ways of mohammad. The catholic church also did things by the sword.
Freedom of speech why don't muslims get it?
If they think its the end of the world everytime someone quotes or states something in a negative view about the Quran etc they will go through life always mad! There are reasons people respond in anger like this. You can put down anything about me and it won't bother me. I understand you/ignorance and its that simple.

I dont think he should, he was reading a quote, they were not his own words, and as the above caller said when the Muslim leaders apologise for thier hatred of the West then we can apologise.
We are scared of them and we fear offending thembut i say f*ck them if they want to spout hatred then why cant we. I know many Muslims and get on very well with them and even show an interest in thier thoughts of what is going on

Definitely not. Behind every act of terrorism in the World today there is some person or group claiming to do it in the name of Islam. They do not like to be told the truth and unless the moderates get rid of thwe extremists we are headed for a showdown,

He has already stated that, "I meant to offend no one." What bothers me more than anything, is how hyper sensitive and extreme the tensions in the whole world are right now. And how the slightest thing , or even nothing at all, can create such a global reaction. That is the thing to worry about. This is a powder keg and it's going to blow. Like nothing we have ever seen.

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.

No! The Pope should abjectly apologise to the world for his rankly hyocritical public declaration. His utterances are a prime example of:
"The Pot calling the Kettle black."
Shame on him!

I think one should read the whole of the Pope's speech to read this quote in context. My understanding is that he also said that Christians had turned away from using violence to proselytise their religion, remembering the mistakes made during the times of the Crusades.
