During his address at the University of Regensburg on Tuesday, Benedict quoted 14th-century Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus...
He said, 'Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.'"
Hmm...I think Pope's first thought was about to condemn the use of violence made by some fanantic people (who btw exist in every religion not matter it is) which is ,using his words, 'unreasonable', "since violence is incompatible with God" (what I firmily agreed with..).... but he went too far and just provoked the opposite reaction...muslim felt offended and now violence can be even bigger ....cause some of them really belive in a 'necessary' and definitive religious war when christians and muslims will be in differents sides...
