I do not quite understand your question. "Pope have to be man else it can be wrong" "Pope have to be a human else it will not be right for him, he have a power it does not mean that ever rubbish he wanna to talk he can" am i right r not
Is your question about papal infallibility? Papal infallibility is restricted to ruling on a religious precept.
Is your question about freedom of speech? That is a right guaranteed by the United States contitution.
Is your question about people in power having a right to criticize religions? The pope is a religious leader and as such can criticize religious precepts.

He quoted another person, a person who had fought Muslims and had his own opinion of them. As for the Pope, I am not Catholic, therefore I do not follow his lead. I am an American and believe in the right to Free Speech. He can say whatever he wants. Though, what I find odd is that he quotes another person, saying that Muslims are murderers (basically) and how the Muslims refute that is by sending death threats to the Pope.
I'm sure everyone who is in a religion, loves their religion. I see a lot of people from both sides saying insulting things about each others religion. Therefore, I won't defend either side.

I disagree. Your initial assertion is wrong and I believe this subject has been well covered. The Pope was not speaking against Muslims and has stated quite clearly that he respect the Muslim people. He was quoting with the intention of saying that force is never the way to promote religious beliefs. He was speaking as much about all religions as Islam. At any rate, he clearly stated that he was sorry if anyone took offense and he respects the Muslim people. This constant barrage of misinformation and misrepresentation of his remark and intent only serves to fuel a fire that he was attempting to extinguish. How about those who spin his statement make an apology now??? At some point mindless propaganda must stop and responsible intelligence come forth.

I don't believe that there is a right or wrong answer in this world. You should consider that he did the wrong thing if I am a Moslem myself since it offended on what I believe in. But in this world that we live in, we just have to be practical in anything where we should undestand that the pope himself is also a human like us who also commits mistake at times. He is right up to the extent that he just related his speech to the old context of the Bryzantine era. Therefore, I conclude that the only person who can say if its right or wrong is upon one's perception where religion should be considered.

Whether what he said was right or wrong. Whether he was quoting a predecessor or not, he should not have done it.
He should have stayed on top that the radicals are looking for every little excuse to war. He should have refrained from saying anything other, than positive things.
Sure, those nuts are going to war against the innocent regardless.
But the Pope should not have given an opening.

The only decent pope in recent times was John Paul 2 - he at least had the decensy to aplogise for all the wrong done in the name of christianity. He knew the world was mis lead by Christianity - shame he died

Look at the deaths Muslims created because of the speech. It just proved that he was correct.

Why don't you read the speech yourself. It's not that long. The link is below.
I think you'll find it isn't a "speech against Islam."
