lol...the ...(sorry you're offended, that is) is what I asked the mod to put in the title.
Except he did not apologize, nor should he.
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.
This smells like fresh UK bullsh*t to me.
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.
Do not say anything bad about islam or they will show their true colors and riot like barbarians.
The religion of peace and understanding????
I gotchya
Be disappointed then, what can I say. But I don't share your disappointment because I don't see where is comes from.
He would also be certifiably insane.

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.
We should all apologize for the satanic religion of death! Apologize for not ending it sooner that "IS" TM BIlly Jeff !
Amen to that, darks!
Keep in mind that, to my knowledge, the Pope hasn't released a statement nor has the new secretary of state on his behalf.
He has not apologized
I don't see an apology in your link either.
