I'm a total media puppet and I do everything the way Madison Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue tell me. I didn't want to hear about the Pope saying sorry. Make me feel better. Please. No, really.

I heard the muslims were up in arms about the pope calling their prophet a violent warmonger, so I actually decided to read what the pope said, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5348456.stm
and it appears he wasn't commenting on Islam at all, merely relating an argument between two people in history.
Anyway now he has apologised for his 'mistake' to calm the muslims from actually doing something violent.
In my opinion the protest is circular - don't call our prophet violent or we will kill you!

He does not have to apologize for anything. Its the Muslims who have to apologize for everything. Long lines at the airport, the collapse of the World Trade Center, the plane crash of Flight 93, the plane crash in the pentagon, the London bombings, the Madrid bombings, the India bombings and I can go on and on, but you get the picture.

Muslims didn't understand what the Pope said in the beginning, and now they still don't understand. Don't worry about it, if an Imam said "to keep warm in winter set fire to yourself" they would go ahead and do it. Don't bother trying to find reason in it.

The Muslims are hard to like. I sincerely recognize them as my universal brothers and love and pray for them as I do for all . When they step into the 21th century , artistically , socially and scientifically they will be welcome. In the meantime the Pope was right.

It's strange how people believe what the media says and doubt what the Bible says.
As for the Pope...Most people don't want to hear the truth. It hurts.
So, our officials tap dance around it . Don't offend anyone, they'll protest. The truth is, you can't please everyone. Because of different beliefs. So you've got to please yourself.

Read closely! He said he's sorry they misunderstood him. Don't misunderstand, Muslims are still responsible for stopping global terror and Islamic Radicalism.

He doesn't want to offend muslims so he can have the chance to convert them, but if he didn't believe in what he said he wouldn't have said it. You can't make everyone happy right?
