Stressing that they were not his own words, he quoted Emperor Manual II Paleologos of Byzantine, the Orthodox Christian empire which had its capital in what is now the Turkish city of Istanbul.
The emperors words were, he said: "Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

Evil and inhuman is as evil and inhuman does, to borrow from Forrest Gump.

It's something new every day. It would be newsworrthy if anything actually soothed Muslim anger, other than the slaughter of infidels.

If he's using a quote to express an idea he agrees with, what's with the stressing? If it gets your own point across, say so and don't backtrack!!

I would love to see more context here. Did the Pope read this quote in order to refute the position? Or was he endorsing the position? Context is key.

Jeez, maybe they should try putting some ice on it.
To: CapnBarbosa
Luckily the bBC presents the context of the quote so we know what the Pope was trying to say. /sarcasm
To: CapnBarbosa
He said he hoped the Pope's speech did not reflect "hatred in his heart" against Islam.We are taught to hate evil......Islam preaches death to infidels..it is a mortal sin to kill, naturally the Pope hates that.
