#1 "I am deeply sorry for the reactions in some countries to a few passages of my address .

Nah! He backtracked and disasembled. Another chance to tell the truth lost.

#2 It depends. He's speaking very carefully and not being listened to carefully. I expect he is sorry about the reaction. I am too. Because it brings us one step closer to the resolution of this in the manner in which it must ultimately and can only be resolved. Benedict will now go to Turkey. Very possibly that will be another step. If that ain't brave, I don't know what is.

#3 The day comes when the islamonut faschists will drag the whole world into a bloodbath.
Millions of other less extreme moslems are going to pay with their lives for not having the guts, wisdom and the inclination to confront and contain the rabid parts of Islam that have sprung amongst them.
They will pay for their "sin" of ommission.

The present incarnation of Islam is its default one. Just examine the 14 centuries of its history. This crap runs in cycles, MAYBE, just MAYBE, we'll finish the job this time. Because if we do not, this may be the last cycle.

Yes, I am advocating the destruction of an entire belief system and all its followers, not too extreme an idea if you consider all of the civilizations and societies that have perished under Islams advance. Once vibrant societies, crushed and consumed by Islam, now pitiful shells of their former selves. That is the retrograde force that Churchill speaks of in the passage from River War.

And this current cycle we're in now, well, it is our turn at the plate, Western (Modern) civilizations turn that is. And we are fucking it up royally! Hopefully, when/if we go Viking on them, there will be a small window of opportunity to gut the Leftists and 5th Columnists here at home.

#5 Phil B - you and EVERYONE that thinks he backtracked need toe CAREFULLY read the "apology".

He is apologizing for upsetting them.

He is NOT apologizing for the words HE wrote, which are quite truthful - and he still stands by them.

Read my entry that shoudl be on site here in a few

#6 The way I see it, all you Catholics should be damned proud of this guy.

I am very impressed with what he has accomplished with a simple quote - and only slightly regret the fact that the asshats are too intellectually stunted to realize the facts... on the flip-side, they prove even to the witless who may have been on the fence and still hoping for the Moderate Muslim thing to be true that it was foolish. The whole MM dream is a bust.

Today, we're all Catholics - and I'm sticking to it, too. Good on ya, Benedict.

#7 Phil B - you and EVERYONE that thinks he backtracked need toe CAREFULLY read the "apology".

He is apologizing for upsetting them.

He said the same thing I said, a lot more artfully: "I'm sorry you pack of barbarians got upset"

#8 The Pope's secret apology?

I'm sorry you guys haven't advanced one bit since the days of Manuel II.

#9 So Papa quotes 14th century guy saying:
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

And CNN reports the quote as:
"Show me just what (the Prophet) Mohammed brought that was new,... "

I guess that was for the benefit of those who were confusing Mohammed Ali the the other one.

#10 CNN's just showing proper dhimmitude. It's in the stylebook.

#11 CNN needs some more work: they forgot "PBUH" after "Mohammed".

I predict this as well. The unquestioning and un-selfcritical Moderate Muslims will be the death of themselves. We are not obliged to hold their hands as they slit their wrists.

#13 The pope said: "The quote doesn't "in any way express my personal thought."

Too bad for that, cuz' it sure expresses mine.

#14 Blessed be this Pope. He walks the path. If they crucify him, those of us that are not so NEARLY as forgiving must act.
