| The Pope did NOT apologize for truth in his speech. |
| 2006-09-19 |
| Contrary to many media reports, Pope Benedict XVI did not apologize on Sunday for his September 12 discourse at the University of Regensburg. He did not retract his words, and did not say he regretted his speech. Unless, of course, you consider an apology his expression of remorse that some misunderstood him, took offense, and reacted violently and irrationally, thus proving, ironically, the accuracy of his original thesis; that cultural dialogue is a pipedream unless all sides reject religiously-motivated violence.

| #8 As I have been pointing out form the start, an apology that amounts to "I am sorry you are ignorant and behave in an ugly barbaric way" is not an apology . |

| #3 It seems like it was more subdued in the past, NS. It's only since 1979 that we have been actively encouraging the hissy fits. |

| #1 Be nice if you could remove the "Dupe Headline" thingy. As for the article - it points out how the entire Islamic world seems to be using ad hominem attacks on the Pope, and is refusing ot address his words. Mindless rage. Thats all Islam seems to be these days. |
