At least make something similar to an effort when reading an article before posting.

It's apparent (to everyone) you've glanced at the headline and decided to post w/o being prepared.

" don't think he apologized for making his comment...he said (reportly) he was sorry muslims were offended."

No matter what he apologized/didn't apologize for, it's *still* a back-pedal, IMO...

Once - just once - I'd like to see someone make a statement (right or wrong) and then stick to his/her guns when the inevitable "YAWP"* rises...

END THE TYRANNY OF THE "OFFENDED"!!!!!!!

*"YAWP" -- a wonderful word coined by Allen Drury to describe the reflexive caterwauling of the mindless intelligentsia and its Media sycophants.....

So, if he does not apologize for quoting a previous Pope when he said that Islam spread its religion by violence, the Muslims will use violence in the streets to get him to take it back, as if he was the one who said it.

I think the Pope has brilliantly illustrated the propensity of Islam to use violence to seek redress f their petty and contrived grievances.

Islam, look to your own house to find peace.

Why should the Pope apologize for telling the truth?

I think that is EXACTLY what the Pope intended to do. To demonstrate to teh world how stupid muslims are.

Be disappointed then, what can I say. But I don't share your disappointment because I don't see where is comes from.

I agree. If Benedict XVI said: "I was wrong. Mohammedanism is truly a religion of peace and tolerance" he would have apologised.

He would also be certifiably insane.

OK. Tell you what--read this and then tell me if you see these words of a confident, courageous man or a total wuss?

This article is deceiving (no shock). He did not apologize nor retract what he had said. He is simply saying that he is sorry they've taken offense.

OH yeah, It's the Pope's fault that Slimes are an illiterate stoneage blood death murder cult.

We should all apologize for the satanic religion of death! Apologize for not ending it sooner that "IS" TM BIlly Jeff !

Keep in mind that, to my knowledge, the Pope hasn't released a statement nor has the new secretary of state on his behalf.

I don't see an apology in your link either.
