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 .

The Pope doesn't have a mote - he was, and is, absolutely right! No argument here. I was just carrying the metaphor all the way through. ;o)

Still waiting for the Muslims to apologize for 911.
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.

At the risk of being unchic, I think the Pope can be as outre as he wants to be! ;o)

You know everything used to be blamed on the President.....now the Pope has shown that it is not the West's fault.....and it shows the true face of the enemy...and it also shows that the president is right....dialog my bunda

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.

This is, after all, the Pope who appeared in public in a Santa Claus hat!

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.

Someone pass the Koranimals a box of kleenex. They really need to get over themselves. The funny part is the speech was made on Tuesday and the koranimals didn't start rioting until late Friday/early Saturday? It's faster than the cartoon riots, perhaps the clerics got some tips on organization from the fine folks who brought us the immigration walk-outs.
