Lester_Bigot Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 The Pope really has stuck his foot in it. He quoted something from a few centurys ago, which has now upset one or two people. Indeed one Gentleman in Somalia shot an Italian Nun ( officials claim the gunman was rather annoyed at the Pope's comment) in protest. But what does the Pope need to do to defuse the sutuation now?

Lester_Bigot Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Islam is about peace and Tolerance, supporters of Islam want us to believe. Do you believe this? or do you judge people by their actions and not by their words ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattricia Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 The pope should NOT apologise for telling the truth. He was only "quoting from a text".He didnt actually say it himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubydazzler Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 The pope should NOT apologise for telling the truth. He wasn't telling "the truth" per se anyway. As I understand it, he was making a speech to some academics and one of the things he said in it was a quote made about Islam by someone, several centuries ago! He doesn't appear to have apologised, which he shouldn't have to anyway, I agree. According to the article I saw, he appeared to be saying he was sorry that people hadn't understood what he'd said in his speech. No more, no less.
