He is preventing armegedon. Incidently: HE DID NOT APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE FOR HIS REMARKS. NOR WILL HE EVER. The world press is just full of fearful mental wussies... The pope is not finished. Trust me. Thats all for now. After careful thought…I have realized the pope is steering the world into a inevitable discussion. He is preventing armegedon.

Thee Pope said things that no political leader could or will...he is not the type to "throw down the guantlet" but he typically gets to the bedrock problem facing us, and EXPECTS us to step up, use our intellects and really deal with it...as he did in the Regensburg speech. You all should read some of his writings..not filtered throught the MSM, but his actual writings and speeches. To do so you actually have to go to Vatican or Catholic websites. While you're there, take a look at the "crusades" through the eyes of the people who were there during the 1,500 some years the Muslims were engaged in their effort to take over Europe. You may not like what you read...but it is more accurate than the BBC/A&E special or K. Hughes' work. Also, the Pope is not God...and only in very specific situations acts "in persona Christi." Do not confuse "infallibity" with "impeccability." The pope is a human being, albeit an incredibly well-educated intelligent one, he goes to confession, and makes mistakes...but the Regensburg speech was not one of them.

He along with others will have to learn the hard way. There can be no intellectual dialog between religions when one espouses the annihilation of the others.

The Pope is the head of a religion that is a contemporary force for peace, and it's hard to believe he would have deliberately risked even a low probability of igniting mass violence against Christians. There is also the "principle of least malice" that should be applied here. (This is a particularly useful filter to apply when thinking about one's ideological opponents.)

I’m not sure whether or not the Pope deliberately through down the guantlet but his words did turn out to be prophetic and the truth. I really don’t see any reason why the pope should apologize and retreat. The only thing that should be regretted is that the central theme of his speech, that of reason and peaceful dialogue, was completely and willfully ignored. In the Islamic extremist animal mind, jihad was the “reasonable” answer. An Iraqi militant group led by al Qaeda vowed a war against the “worshippers of the cross” in response to a recent speech by Pope Benedict on Islam that sparked anger across the Muslim world.

As a Catholic who recently visited Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal, I am reminded of the Third Secret of Fatima released by Pope John Paul in '00. I am struck by your use of 'mirror'. Sister Lucia too use the word in the same way you imply to describe her visions in the Third Secret in 1917. My personal interpretation is in my Bible blog and my personal blog is www.atemely.blogspot.com. I’m with you.

That being said, I was extremely disappointed to learn that he apologized to the retarded pigs throwing yet another global temper tantrum on the same day my daughter was baptized. There are some explanations floating around that his remarks were mistranslated, which is why these people are still attacking churches, killing nuns and issuing fatwas. But it seems as though he did give in to their demands. If we can't count on the Pope to honestly and unapologetically distinguish bewteen a faith that promises hope and one that guarantees destruction, who can we count on?
