What the Pope is saying is "sorry if the truth hurts"...That's the way I read it. He hasn't and IMO will not issue a retraction because it was a "quote" and it was the truth.
To: Dark Skies
He said he hoped the speech had not been taken as being intentionally offensive and insisted that the Vatican was "strongly upset" by the Islamic world's reaction, the BBC reports "
Doesn't sound like an apology to me....
I'm sorry for their reaction too, It's a damn shame they are barbarians that can't grasp the concept of debate and civilization.
I'm not sorry for the fact that I believe they are at dangerous and a threat to all of humanity.

He didn't cave, they are selective in their quotes.
ROME (Reuters) - Pope Benedict told Muslims on Saturday he was sorry they had found his speech on Islam offensive, expressing his respect for their faith and hoping they would understand the "true sense" of his words.
He is saying what was said is true, he is sorry they are offended.

Damn, dude. He said it and it's the truth, so now he should own it. Instead, he crumbles like an Oreo cookie as soon as the islamics start whining.

"It was certainly not the intention of the Holy Father to undertake a comprehensive study of the jihad and of Muslim ideas on the subject, still less to offend the sensibilities of Muslim faithful," Vatican press office director Federico Lombardi said."
Backpedaling.

Pakistan's president Pervez Musharraf warned that "sinister
tendencies" to associate terrorism with Muslims were helping
to fuel a sense of alienation between the west and Islam. Shazaam! I've never made the association. I better start reading more carefully. /sarc

I think we need a personal note after the title. People are misunderstanding the story.

I HAVE read it. It's an attempt to quell violence. With these radicals, they don't have to have a real reason. He is back tracking. You have no idea how disappointed I am. What a wuss.
To: frogjerk
READ THE ARTICLE. THERE IS NO APOLOGY.It's the equivalent of a husband saying to his wife "I'm sorry you're offended because I said you look fat in that dress."
To: bonfire
Hardly. Where did he say he's sorry. Or that what he siad was untrue?
