for a number of reasons...the first is that i don't understand why anyone who says anything these days that offends even one person is usually called upon to apologize when in reality we shouldn't have to apologize for half of the things we say "i'm sorry for." speak your mind! then...apologize?

this guy is a very dogmatic religious leader - what on earth else do they expect him to believe, that islam is a peaceful religion and that he wants it to co-exist with catholicism? anyone who thinks that is fooling themselves...he's the POPE! that's his job.

and finally he shouldn't apologize because he's right! it is an uncomfortable truth for many people here and many people outside of here, that is Islam is NOT a peaceful religion. there are many people who practice it peacefully but read the damn book! "radical islam" isn't being radical at all - they're following their faith 100% - just like "radical christians" aren't radicals, they're true believers who do what the bible says. they're both fucking nuts and ultimately the major problem is religion itself, but like we'll ever see a people enlightened enough to say "we can live without religion"
