ARUTZ SHEVA: In his weekly speech outside the Vatican today, Pope Benedictus XVI related to the Muslim outrage at his recent comments against Mohammed, expressing sorrow at the Muslims' reaction to his words.Mark Alexander
The Pope did not apologize outright, as Muslims demanded, for his remarks last Tuesday implying that Mohammed's teachings were evil and inhuman.
Instead, he said he was "deeply sorry" over the reaction to his words. He added his hope that the statement issued by the Vatican yesterday would suffice to explain his intentions.

"Pope sorry for offending Muslims"
Not as sorry as I am for hearing those words.
'Et tu Brutae'

"Not as sorry as I am for hearing those words."
I agree. But, do you know, Old Nail, I don't think that apology is a retraction of what was actually said. He is sorry for offending Muslims, yes, but he hasn't really said he is sorry for uttering the quotation. He hasn't taken back those words. To me, there seems to be a subtle difference here.
The Pope can't be held responsible for the fact that Muslim listeners were offended by his words. That they were offended tells everything about THEM, rather than it does the Pope.
These people have been allowed to get away with this nonsense for too long.
Rather than tiptoeing around, we should force them to accept us and demand that they assimilate to our world if they plan to live among us.

I couldn't have said it better myself!

How right you are!

Yes, assimilate, or get out! Coming to the West is a PRIVILEGE, NOT a RIGHT!
