The Pope has no reason to apologize, he quoted a 14th century emperor and it was taken out of context. I know of no other religion in recent history that has been as militant, radical, and terroristic as the Islamic radicals. Almost all terrorist acts have been in the name of Islam, all beheadings, suicide bombing, and torture has been in the name of Islam. The rest of the world should demand an apology from the Islamic clerics, and a pledge for them to stop the senseless violence done by these so called true believers.
The following was provided by another member in response to a similar question, it seems to reinforce the propensity toward violence.
Ishaq:544 “Muhammad commanded the people to prepare for the foray [raid, incursion, sortie, attack, or assault]. The Messenger informed his troops that he was going to Mecca. He ordered them to prepare themselves and ready their equipment quickly. He said, ‘O Allah, keep spies and news from the Quraysh until we take them by surprise in their land.'” Fundamental Islamic organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and al-Qaeda offer the same prayer today.
Ishaq:544 “Hassan incited the men, reciting: ‘This is the time for war. Don't feel safe from us. Our swords will open the door to death.'” And so it would be forevermore.
Qur'an 9.5 “When the sacred forbidden months for fighting are past, fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, beleaguer them, and lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

Well if there was any doubt about it being a religion of violence - all the proof you need is in the islamic response. Firebomb two churches in the west bank... that sure does sound like a peace loving religion to me!
Ironic isn't it? Show the world that you are unhappy at being called a violent religion with... yup you guessed it - more violence! Good one guys, guess islam doesn't teach you how to have the resemblence of intelligence does it?
But the pope is right anyway, what hurts islam so much is that its true! Ok Christians/Jews don't have a much better past but lets face it... do they still go around waging holy wars or forcing their religion on others? And if you say Iraq is a crusade you need your head checked, probably because you've been brain washed!

At Least the Pope did make the Gracious act of offering an Apology and maintained his Dignity , whilst the Barbaric , Ignoramous ,Rabble were burning his Effigy and Rioting in the Streets ,Interesting to note there has never been a world of Apology from Islam regarding the Filthy Scum who caused massive numbers of Deaths throughout the World by their Suicide Bombers = as usual it,s "Their Way or No Way"

The Pope did not say that Islam became violent. He reported that a Byzantine King questionned the validity of a faith that makes use of the considered jihad to transform human beings to its ideals.

And who the f*** is the pope to take pot-shots at another religion? He's a meddling old fool that does know better, making sly political statements to help Bush.
And to think people worship him as an almost godly being? What a joke he is.

**** islam. The pope was only quoting anyway, not expressing his own personal views.

No Islam is a good religion and the pope shouldn't have said that. I thought that it was disrespectful. You are generalizing and Christians and Jews etc... also want control of the world.

Islam does not deserve an apology. They have been on a global crusade since Mohammed murdered Arabs. The only way to deal with their violence is "in kind." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tours
