Look, it was an academic talk, I realize this country is uninitiated in that sort of exercise, but considering that the media cherry picked one sentence out of the whole damn thing and took it out of context to inflame the Muslim world and put the Pope in danger. I think your tone is way OUT of line.

Personally I think the Pope's tone was out of line. If you are leader of a "country" you should be smart enough to know that what you say matters and that its not going to be played in the media the way you meant it. Are you telling me the Pope is not ready for prime time yet? If I were him I would very careful when he goes to Turkey. Recall this isnt his first anti-Islamic comment. He also made some comment that Turkey shouldnt be part of Europe because it isnt a Christian nation.
