This question is obviously written by a goat sex loving muslim slimeball. Pope spoke the truth of Islam and Islam cannot handle anything that is truth. Now go worship your pedophile prohet before the civilized world wakes up and nukes you POS' off the planet.

It constantly amazes me, that despite centuries of religious violence instigated by religious leaders of nearly all persuasions, that people still actually think religious people are peaceful! It doesn't matter whether you are talking about Catholics, or any other Christian sect, or Jews, or Muslims or whatever! They have long, violent, bloody histories, and there are just as many people willing to kill in the name of their faith today as there were in any of the preceding centuries. With a world population near 7 billion, probably even more.
It's only the advent of more deadly technologies that keep such people in check from pure self-preservation interests, but don't expect that to last much longer either. Most religions believe in some form of Armageddon mythology, and will no doubt do their best to bring it about, whether their gods exist or not.
As for Pope Ratzinger, he's an erstwhile Nazi sympathiser, who fits right into a religion which violently persecuted anyone who disagreed with its doctrine for centuries, even its own followers, if they were foolish enough to speak out. How can you be surprised by his actions, and how is he any different from any of the other religious leaders currently actively or passively inciting violence and strife in the world today? How can you, or anyone else, still insist that religions create peaceable leaders, when all historical and current evidence speaks loudly to the contrary?

Well he made a faux pas by saying things that were a fact in history, especially at this time. He is a christian leader and should keep his speeches to religion. Whoever is his speech writer should have thought about the repercussions, especially after the mohammed cartoons and the violence erupting after that. I think the majority of the fanatical muslims are an uneducated people who need to be violent and give their peaceful counterparts a bad name. However I am still waiting for the Muslim leaders to apologize for them.

In a speech Tuesday, the pope quoted from a book recounting a conversation between 14th century Byzantine Christian Emperor Manuel Paleologos II and an educated Persian on the truths of Islam and Christianity.
"The emperor comes to speak about the issue of jihad, holy war," the pope said.
"He said, I quote, 'Show me just what Mohammed 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."'
So, in a way, we moslems does not need to be offended, he is quoting someone else's line...Anyway, in moslems we do not have Judas, so we believe in what is real! No Offenses to anyone who hate moslems because the 1% of our people became terrorists...
WE NEED TO RECTIFY THOSE! AS WE (MOSLEMS) DO NOT LIKE THE TERRORISTS AS WELL!

He's the Christian version of that blind sheikh that used inflamatory sermons to spread hate. Pope John Paul is turning in his grave. He was a true man of peace. This guy's participation in the Nazi youth camp should have been enough to not deem him worthy of the position. Just like Bin Loudmouth has a jihadist mentality of doctrine through violence, Benedict has a crusade mentality of doctrine via violence too. If he didn't mean it, then he should apologize directly before he makes the rest of Christians look bad. You expect a little more discretion from a man claiming to live in the light of Jesus. Poor Jesus and poor Mohammed for being "represented" by such hate mongers who's cowardess they conceal behind the shield of God.
If it's not peaceful, if it's not beautiful and if it's in jugment of others, it's not God.

And muslems need to get over it, and prove that they are better people. The pope simply proved, through the reaction of the Muslims, that the Muslims are of a savage nature. It is possible to publically disagree with somebody's statement without being an asshole. The Muslims always seem to fly off the deep end.
God forbid anybody be critical of a misguided religion.

Typical apologist..Doesnt even know what the pope said..Just gets his sound bytes from Aljazeera.com and goes on yahoo to spew his ignorance.
The key issue at stake in the battle over what he said is this: Will the West stand up for its customs and mores, including freedom of speech, or will Muslims impose their way of life on the West? Ultimately, there is no compromise: Westerners will either retain their civilization, including the right to insult and blaspheme, or not.
More specifically, will Westerners accede to a double standard by which Muslims are free to insult Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, while Muhammad, Islam, and Muslims enjoy immunity from insults? Muslims routinely publish cartoons far more offensive than the Danish ones. Muslims routinely show agression to those they find offensive, Muslims routinely show open support for Islamo-facists terrorists, Muslims routinely re-arrange history all the way back to the crusades so they can play the victim card...Are they entitled to dish it out while being insulated from similar indignities?
The deeper issue here, however, is not Muslim hypocrisy but Islamic supremacism. What we need to ask ourselves non-Muslims, is should we submit to their taboos for fear of violent reprisal??

Its important to remember that the vatican is not a place of holy innocence. Rome has a history of hatred towards the muslim people. Remember the crusades? This is just another wave of hate that is all part of a process. Right now, its really crucial that we NOT get involved in hate of one side or the other. Recognize that this is all an illusion and that buying into it feeds the powers that be. Humanity will have to change this itself. Our leaders will not win this for us. A transformation of humanity IS occuring.

He wasn't judging anybody, he was quoting from a 14th century. Gee give the guy a break it wasn't his words he was making a speech, the stupid Muslims took it out of context like a lot of people did. Anyway I agree with the 14th century person who said all of that, it is true they are EVIL, EVIL.

Let's say you are correct. What does the reaction of some in the Muslim community say: Pope targeted for suicide bomb, calls for the Popes death, a nun killed, riots, pope burned in effigy, ect. He quotes a someone from the 14th century and for that he should be killed? Is that really what Islam believes?
