Stick to your guns, Pope Benedict. All People of courage should speak out against this evil before it is too late.

I'd love to see the Pope (and his proxies) simply refuse to say another word on the subject. Go right on to whatever his next topic is, just as if nothing happened.

Of course no unequivocal apology will be forthcoming from Islam.

Never apologize for telling the truth, Pope Benedict!
If the Muslims cannot handle the truth, that is due to their own moral failing, not yours.
The actions of the Islamists in the wake of the Pope's patently non-inflammatory remarks more than betrays the truth in his quoted remarks.
The Islamist mufti would do well to tend to the beam in his own eye before calling for the Pope's mote to be examined.

Many Western Europe leaders could take some lessons from the Pope. The only way to defeat these mooselimbs is to draw them out into the open and / or total destruction of them and their demon sites. I prefer total destruction of them and their demon sites, myself. It doesn't take much to draw these islam animals out, as witnessed by their taking offense from cartoons and mere words.
islam is a cult of demons.

Here's the apology Muslims are entitled to:
I personally and unequivocably apologize for recognizing that there are utterly hostile, completely insane murderous fanatics among you who want to kill me, my wife, my children, everyone I ever prayed with, knew or wanted to meet.
I'm really sorry that it had to come to this, but there you go, Muslims. All better now, right?

Apologize ! If hell freezes over the Pope should not apologize , the muzzies can not understand or handle what the Pope said an apology won't change the fact . YOU CAN NOT FORCE ISLAM ON CHRISTIANS AND JEWS BY USING THE SORD .

To: NYer
Perhaps the Pope should convert to Islam and command all Catholics to do the same...that would probably suffice as an apology adequate for the Muslims.

The president of mostly Catholic Slovenia, Janez Drnovsek, said on his Web site that Muslims were justifiably upset and that the pope should be big enough to learn from his error.Well, since I represent the Catholics of Monmouth County, NJ with as much authority as Drnovsek represents Slovenian Catholics, and since there are as many observant Catholics here as there are in all of Slovenia, I hereby declare that the Muslims are big crybabies whining about nothing and that the pope should demand an apology from them.

Pope Benedict faced a growing chorus of demands on Tuesday for an unequivocal apology for remarks seen as portraying Islam as a violent faith, despite attempts by Western leaders and churchmen to defuse the crisis. The Pope is seen as calling Islam a violent faith.
Muslim feelings are hurt. They respond by vandalizing churches and killing a nun.
And they want an apology after proving the Pope correct?
If I were the Pope (and it's a good thing I can't be) I would say, "Look, you have proven that you are a violent faith by your reaction to my words. If you can quell the violence without an apology, then I will consider whether an apology is in order. But while you are proving me correct, what would I be apologizing for, telling the truth?"
Shalom.
