"openly taking sides in the Cold War' !!!!!

What 's "cold" about the continued deliberate murder of innocent non-combattants?

Let's guess. You think both side have their points of view don't you?

Please don't take it too personally if we wish you a nice life and bye bye. 'Kay?

There is no reason for the Vatican to "build bonds" with Islam. I'm guessing the pontiff knows a little bit more about the consequences of Islamic ambition than some secular news analysts.

Amazing that in 2006 saying that violence in the name of Islam is a BAD thing is somehow "controversial".

Benedict, who is supposed to visit Turkey this fall in his first trip to a Muslim nation, did not explicitly agree with the words nor did he repudiate them. "

Whatever he said, he said intentionally...about that we can be sure.

I'm sure hoping the Pope really ratchets it up from here. Here is pretty fearless, so twill be interesting to see where he goes.

While I am not a Catholic and I have some doctrinal problems with the Catholic church, I must say, I really like this Pope. I hope he stands his ground.

The remarks — tucked into an address at a German university where he formerly taught theology — were interpreted by many experts in interfaith relations as a signal that the Vatican is staking a new and more demanding stance for its dealings with the Muslim world.

AMEN!!!!

Thankfully the Pope spoke the truth about Mohammed.

A sign that those protesting Benedict's remarks are unhinged.

"Islam's internal struggles between moderates and extremists."

Hahaha... propaganda. There is not "internal" struggle!

Actually, the article mentions that his predecessor, John Paul II, openly took sides in the Cold War. Easy to mis-read the way it is framed.

They can write all the left wing articles they want, if you read what the Pope said it was not offensive to any religion and was so logical and moral that it should be non-controversial. Do the authors of these articles think religious violence is a good thing?

I think the world has just identified a real leader in this Pope. And he is one smart opponent for islam...he sees through its baloney and makes his moves accordingly.

I hope he beefs up security.

Islam has to grow up. It has to decide whether it wants to remain in the 7th Century or join our time.

I guess it is totally accepted by the Western media, that all the Islamist leader speak in the most vile fasion about other religions, but dare anyone say anything critical of Islam...

Islam = vile, murderous pack of scum since Mohammed!
