Don't go any further

I reckon Pope Benedict XVI shouldn’t have apologized to the Muslims for his remarks on Islam. There is freedom of speech and what he said is objectively true.

How could he show “profound respect for world religions and for Muslims”? Does it therefore meant that he agrees to the idea of more than one existing God in the world? He should have stood his ground. And the fact that he was “very sorry” for the reaction to his remarks further gave the impression of retreat.

He absolutely shouldn’t issue any further comments/apology that the Muslims are demanding right now. By apologizing and backing away, he would encourage more violence and anger on the streets.

Seriously, just shut up.
