I wonder if the author of this piece has read the full text of Pope Benedict's speech:

[Let's face it: Popes are not sound-bite-friendly speakers.]

I guess it's too much for the author to read and actually comprehend the whole speech at Regensburg. As Chris Matthews would say: "it's too complicated", lol.

Thanks, read the full text of the lecture. Going to print it and read it again. Never have been able to fully master reading from a screen. Need to be able to put pencil marks on the paper to absorb. First impression, appears the entire Islamic reaction may be way overstated given the context of Benedict's comments. Thanks again.
