He seems to be showing respect for the Muslim religion, something the US government hasn't done.

The Pope is going to Turkey for three main reasons:
+ A pastoral journey to the Catholic Church in Turkey, with its various ritual expressions (Latin, Armenian Catholic, Syrian Catholic, Chaldean).
+ An ecumenical journey to the Eastern Orthodox Church with a meeting of prayer and dialog with the Patriarch, His Holiness Bartholomew I.
+ A journey of interreligious dialog with Islam, the predominant religion in Turkey.
With love in Christ.

Respect must be earned and 9/11 really didn't help in the respect department!!!
And the Pope is speaking for himself and not the rest of the world!!!
