I'm seeing it on CNN, and all over the place - why won't the Pope apologize personally? Why did he use that particular quote? How could he be so insensitive? I didn't like the wording of that apology...
Yet no call for apologies for the Muslim church bombings, murder, riots, and death threats in reaction to the one line quote in his speech.
Why is that? Because you can reason with the Pope. You can't reason with violent Islamic terrorists. Which was exactly the point of the Pope's speech.
This insanity of blaming the Pope for Islam's reaction and equating his remarks as a throwback to the crusades may be preoccupying Americans, but don't think it is distracting Islamic terrorists one bit.
So what's the answer? The Muslims are quick to clarify their position:
"Citing the words of the Prophet Muhammad, Muslim religious leaders in the Gaza Strip on Sunday warned Pope Benedict XVI that he must "accept" Islam if he wanted to live in peace."

Of course.

To stir the pot and help the Muslims annhilialate themselves.
Funny how they
1. Proved the pope's point
2. Made everyone else hate them more
3. They killed more Muslims while protesting than non-Muslims.

I have no idea in Carolina. But he is a German Pope, and maybe trying to get the Muslims mad at the Germans, as well as all the Catholics in the World.

I read that he is just like that he is the pope and he can do no wrong, but he sure put his foot in his mouth this time.

It was prophecized that this would happen. The pope will be assassinated and then there will be only one more, then the apocalypse. It is certainly nearing the end of times.
