"This is no mistake. This pope clearly wants to point out to his audience in a quick comment why these folks are dangerous. For Christianity to survive it needs to open it's eyes. As Hillaire Belloc pointed out in the early 20th century Islam is one of the great heresies and took some of the easy parts of Christianity along with developing some of its own dangerous ideologies."

Exactly. I hope the pope will not be intimidated by this reaction. If HE does not find a way to press forward and defend Christians around the world and defend the faith against Islam, then how can he expect US to do it. He has to be even stronger then we are. He has to set the example.

I agree with that 100%. No mistakes, the Pope is setting a tone for his papacy.
