I read the entire speech earlier, and I dont see what all the crying is about, sheesh.

It's an excuse, clearly - any excuse is seized by these people who show themselves, sadly, to be so primitive in their complete inability to enter into civilized discourse - to rage against the West: the Pope, the Jews, Catholicism, Christianity, the USA, Bush, etc. etc. etc. But I keep asking on here: WHERE ARE THE ECUMENICAL LEADERS - Orthodox and Protestant, for starters - WITH WHOM THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS ENTERED INTO FORTY YEARS WORTH OF DIALOGUE. Any of them DEFEND the Pope yet?

The speech had nothing to do with islam. The subject was the influence of Greek philosophy on the Christian thought.......

Of course, that would have been a boring story, so the MSM didn't report that.

This is the very word used by the emperor: God acts with logos

Big smile, here: His mysteries to reveal.

I recently read an Islamic forum to see what what the Muslims were 'writing' about concerning this topic. One Muslim asked everyone to be reasonable and gave her logic. She was hit back that she was in blasphemy for even speaking about Islam when she doesn't know what she is talking about and will be doomed. She said the Pope doesn't understand that Jihad means internal struggle. The other people wrote back with alot of venom that it means 'physical struggle'.
Bottom line is that these extremists obviously do not want to be reasonable.
