He was right to say that religion should not be spread through violence, and wrong to apologise later for saying it.

He is a theologian and not having the depth of a pope. If he has to apologize to a bunch of terrorists (who are not going to accept it anyway) what moral grade he is. It becomes just a decorated post and some illiterate people in Asia and Africa will think that he is a god's messenger.

The Pope should be interested in improving conditions in Africa and South America, not commenting on a part of the world that does not generally follow Christianity.

The Pope should be taught that in making a speech one must be very careful of what one says because if someone wants to create trouble, ie between Muslims and Christians, ie the devil, all he or she has to do is take one sentence out of the statement and manipulate it....it may be true, but it is not the whole truth.
Even truth can lie, when it is part of the whole truth...!!

The influence of the pope on today's political landscape are marginal. Why all the excitement?

The Pope should not criticizing other religions for the way they were spread...I think he knows very well how Christianity was spread...He should look into his own backyard before criticizing Islam...
he was wrong in saying those things,even if he quoted someone...

Well, i think he should be preaching warmth..not hate.
Why drag things out from centuries ago???
Considering the fact that HIS religion has a pretty shoddy track record....i kind of felt well... "look whose talking..you know"...
I do think his apology should go further. The way i see it..i think his comments were very arrogant and disrespectful.

I'm not Catholic, but his speach....
http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/speeches/2006/september/documents/hf_ben-xvi_spe_20060912_university-regensburg_en.html
was totaly taken out of context. After reading this, I see that he was hoping that we might look at past assumptions and re think them, and the effects they have on our present thinking.....no slam intended.....
