I'm no Catholic but he probably expressed respect for Islam before but the media decided to make a big deal of it now given the situation. People look at the media and just assume that nothing else happens except what the media tells us. Time to wake up...

Most of the world hates the filthy religion called islam ... even the muslims hate each other... the continued killings everyday confirm this.

What are you talking about? He always has--good grief, the man wrote like three books about Islam. What more does he need to do to show such respect?

I guess he did not want to hear about another nun getting murdered by the brave islamofascists.

There was no need for him to state it at that time.

He also was too cowardly to resign from the Hitler Youth, of which he was a proud member.

I still claim that he did not apologize for what he said. He only apologized that it caused so much furor and trouble.

Your lack of respect is only surpassed by your abundance of ignorance.

i know you have so closed mind about Islam and Muslims all your questions and answers proves that..but any way do think it was a right to Say that in this time ...it was the memory of 9/11 and the War in Lebanon and Iraq.....how he could say that in so dangerous time and he must be reasonable man?? the only one he was helped by his wards are Ossam Bin Laden and his followers....because he ensured their believes about that the West World ' s fighting and hating to Islam and Muslims.....now i can not find any difference between Pope and Ossama Bin Laden..they both increase the hate and the misunderstanding...and do not tell me Pope do not kill Innocent people like Ossama....because the Pope 's words are able to kill too...any way i advice Pope to stop care about Islam and cared only with his own problems...we all know the problems of the Catholic faith...and how they lose people every day ..people who refused to believe all these lies about the nature of prophet Jesus...ask him to read Da Vinic Code and why this novel makes all these success...and why the only way to win a new members in Catholic Church now ..is attracting the poor people in Africa and Asia by all the ways....and although he criticized the Islam...every day now a new people in USA,Europa and in all the world believe in Islam by their own well and by only the mental convincing.....at the end we all human beings we all do faults...and the Pope are not exception..
you may read this message we sent to the Pope..
{{We, the Muslim people, would like to object to your recent comments about our prophet Mohammad and our religion…
Your comments illustrate your complete ignorance of our religion …
We demand an immediate apology to all Muslims and to be more considerate next time…
Let me remind you of this
"VATICAN CITY (CNS) – The Vatican, commenting on a series of satirical newspaper cartoons that have outraged Muslims, said freedom of expression does not include the right to offend religious sentiments."
What do you call this? Hypocracy?
I also I don’t accept the claim that you did not mean to offend Muslims or to insult our prophet.
Having read the whole speech, I really fail to see how a 600 year old quotation describing Muslims as evil and inhumane is at all appropriate in the context of this speech. It just seems to be a dig at Prophet Mohammad to me, and to all of us.
It is also funny that you have chosen to quote a Byzantine emperor whose family had to flee Constantinople due to the attacks by the crusaders. Even in the 15th century attempts at starting a Latin crusade failed as "the Greeks thought that the Byzantine civilization which was centered at the Orthodox faith would be more secure under Ottoman rule, and preferred to sacrifice their political freedom in order to preserve their religion" --- extracted from wikipedia
It is also a fact that far more non-believers have been killed by Christians than any other world religion…!!!
The Church has no right to point a finger at any religion after all the blood-stained conversions in South America and after the coercion of the church by Hitler's regime to exterminate Jews.
Your quotation was an essential part of Christian propaganda to justify the crusades with no basis of truth. A closer look at history will show you how great tolerance was shown by Muslim rulers to other religions.
And finally let me provide you with a couple of versus from the Qur'an that PROOF that Islam is a religion of peace and was never spread by the sword
"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error"[Al-Qur’an 2:256]
"Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you, that ye may receive admonition." (An-Nahl: 90)
“But if the enemy inclines towards peace, do thou also incline towards peace and trust in Allah.” (Al-Anfâl: 61)
“Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits”.
*{O you who believe! Stand out firmly for God as witnesses to Justice; and let not the hatred of a people cause you to swerve from justice; be just; that is the closest to piety}* (Al-Ma'idah 5:8).
"if they let you alone, and did not wage war against you and hold out their hands in peace towards you, then Allah has never sanctioned you to wage war against them." (An-Nisa': 90).
Finally, Muslims do not attack others unless they attack them first. The Qur'an says what means: *{Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not, aggressors.}* (Al-Baqarah 2:190)}}
