The Holy Father has NOTHING to apologize for in this fracas.
The Islamic response to the pope's message is emblematic of Islam's intolerance and resort to violence as a way of discussing questions of substance.
They are more nihilists than anything else.

Is the Vatican naive? They can't calm the militant Muslims except by disappearing from the Earth. The Muslims want to be mad, they're looking for an excuse to be mad, they want to feel justified in their upcoming wholesale murder of Catholics, which has already started in Somalia.

There is no such reassessment or contrition forthcoming from Islam. Don't hold your breath waiting for Muslim clerics to denounce forced conversions to Islam or jihad.

Pope Julius II was known as the "Warrior Pope". Maybe Pope Benedict will be the next one.

"We must avoid making any link between Islam, which is a great, respected and respectable religion, and radical Islamism, which is a totally different activity and one of a political nature," Chirac added.
O'rly? I can't tell the difference. Islam makes no distinction. Why does Chirac?

The Vatican has instructed its envoys in Muslim countries to explain Pope Benedict's words on Islam.
Benedict's new Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, said the Holy See's nuncios (ambassadors) in Muslim countries would be visiting government and religious leaders.
Why bother?
The non Muslim world has seen their reaction as affirmation of their penchant for violence, death and destruction.

Typical.

The Vatican has instructed its envoys in Muslim countries to explain Pope Benedict's words on Islam. As an example: "My friends! Please! The Holy Father's words must be properly understood, so there can be so confusion! The Holy Father believes in his heart that you are Devil worshipping fanatics who view violence as central to your so-called religion. Thank you."
