I recently connected the dots and figured out the real reason for the Muslim outrage against the Pope's Regensburg speech. It has nothing to do with Manuel II Paleologus and everything to do with a simple misunderstanding. The problem was they confused Logos with Legos. Those toy blocks are made by a Danish company, the same country that printed the Mohammad cartoons. They thought the pope said "God acts with Legos" and "In the beginning was the Legos." This specific approval of a Danish product that is used by God could easily be seen as approval of those cartoons.
