I'm no fan of the Pope. Even less so now that he has apologized, though I have to admit he apologized for muslims reaction to his comments, not for his actual comments. (Nice way of not apologizing for what he said)
THE POPE STEPPED INTO IT
Many Muslims felt the pontiff was critical of their faith in the speech delivered in front of university professors earlier in the week.
In that speech, the Pope appeared to endorse a Christian view that early Muslims spread their religion by violence. Gee what ever would have given him that idea ? Thanks to www.imao.us for image.
1. On Saturday, militants attacked five churches in Gaza and the West Bank. A group calling itself the "Lions of Monotheism" claimed responsibility.
2. An Iraqi insurgent group threatened to carry out a suicide attack on the Vatican.
3. Thai police blamed the attack on Muslim insurgents who have waged a long separatist campaign in this largely Buddhist country.
4. Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan called Benedict's remarks "ugly and unfortunate" and called on the pontiff to withdraw them.
Turkey's ruling party even likened the pope to Hitler and Mussolini.
5. Muslims shot and killed a 60 year old Nun...the list continues to grow.
Muslims and violence....where does this crazy Pope get his wacky ideas ?
