Allegedly, Pope Benedict said some offensive things to Muslims earlier this week. He apparently insinuated that Islam is a violent religion or something to that end, and that he does not approve of religion as an excuse for violence. Now, 5 churches in Israel were firebombed. Just great. Benedict just undid all the peace with Muslims that John Paul II had tried to create. I mean, Islam isn;t a violent religion. I know Muslims who say that violence is not the way of Islam. It's only the radicals who attack Israel and the USA who are violent. And Benedict apologized to any Muslims he offended, but no, the radicals didn't let it be. They are truly evil, and unwilling to stop their violence, all the while giving their fellow Muslims and countrymen a bad name in some peoples' eyes. Thankfully those eyes aren't mine.
