Pope Benedict was warned by Mehmet Ali Agca, the man who shot pope John Paul II, that his life will be in danger if he visits Turkey. This warning comes as the Pope faces pressure for making remarks indicating that Islam was a violent religion, ya think?
Pope Benedict faces a growing chorus of demands to make an unequivocal apology for remarks seen as portraying Islam as a violent faith, despite attempts by Western leaders and churchmen to defuse the crisis.
I wonder if the followers of Islam realize how deranged they look by making threats and rioting because someone said they were a violent religion? Pope Benedict should just make a blunt speech saying, “I think the acts of the people who have been shown on TV and of those making threats and calling for my execution basically prove that the quote I read was right on the money.”
Islam demanding an apology for remarks indicating it was a violent religion are no different than Ted Bundy demanding an apology for being called a serial killer.
