Muslim Brotherhood demands new apology
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood retracted their acceptance of Pope Benedict XVI's apology, issued earlier Sunday just hours before the group ackowledged the apology as "sufficient."
"[The Pope's apology] is not a detailed apology, and because of this we call on the Pope to offer a detailed apology which will put a definitive end to the confusion," the the group's second in command, Mahmoud Habib said on Sunday. Previously, Habib, said "We see the Pope's latest statement as a retraction of his previous statements."
"We see it as a sufficient apology, even though we would like the Pope to give a picture of his position on and vision of Islam."
