Do We need the pope to admit the big mistake he has committed and then agree on apologizing?

Question

Pope Benedict XVI statement stopped short of the apology demanded by Islamic leaders around the globe, and anger among Muslims remained intense.

What do you think anger would remain intense or accept indirect apology ?

Answer 1

It's Bush and American government policy which helped Pope Benedict XVI to make such full of mistake statement. However He regret his own wordings and is shame of it. Accept this indirect apology to minimise intense. Peace in the world is must and that would come with love and not hate or war.

Answer 2

The Pope has not committed a mistake. He quoted a writing.
If there is a mistake, then the writer he quoted should be the one to apologize. Anyway, Islamic leaders and Christen leaders have different believes. Why should that cause anger unless the truth hurts.

Answer 3

Have you read or even skimmed the speech they want him to apologize for? He never condemned Islam. The speech was about the relationship between reason and faith in God, and dealt largely with the relationship between theology and Greek philosophy. Pretty specialized stuff, maybe. To make it a little more interesting he quotes a medieval Christian emperor's "startlingly brusque" criticism of Islam's practice of forced conversions at that time. The modern Islamic world's response was not only unrelated to the pope's main points (too abstruse and boring for them to even read), but even more "startlingly brusque" than the emperor's remarks!

Answer 4

I do not think the Muslims deserve an apology, direct or indirect, for speaking the truth. They hated us enough before to want us all dead, so what difference would any apology make even if one was deserved.

Answer 5

"The emperor comes to speak about the issue of jihad, holy war," the pope said. "He said, I quote, 'Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.'"

The Pope spoke the truth he shouldn't apologize. Their Jihad teaches to convert to Islam or die. Their burning of churches after they didn't get their apology only enforces the fact that it's a violent religion.

Answer 6

What big mistake? I'm pretty sure millions of people would be dissapointed if he did apologize. Where were the muslims when 9/11 happened? Oh thats right, they were celebrating in their streets.

Answer 7

<> nicely, YEAH! I recommend, the only different ideas have been to: a million) deny the intercourse abuse and cover up. or 2) merely ignore approximately it and not respond in any way in any respect. of course, the pope chosen splendid by ability of acknowledging the abuse and cover up. <> I trust the pope's wording. I recommend, what it the component to putting it "greater strongly". How precisely might that have been beneficiary? <> ALL CATHOLICS everywhere sense an exceedingly real "experience of betrayal, not the direct victims of the intercourse abuse. <> the place and while is the pope quoted as asserting those words? those costs look like Carl-talk to me, not pope-talk. <> The pope hasn't performed that. you have.

Answer 8

Even if he apologizes, anger will remain intense. The angry people are not rational.

Answer 9

Nope.

When the muslims change the quara'n so that it no longer says that Jesus CHEATED at the Cross and had a substitute die in HIS place-- then the poop should apologize.

Answer 10

IMO he should apologize for making a mistake.
