Muslim leaders demand apology for Pope's 'medieval' remarks.

The Pope read a very old text that sounded like a vicious attack on Islam. He didn't have to do it.
.
The Catholic church should clean its own dirty nest before attacking the other religion.
.
The outspoken Imams have attacked Christianity for decades in the most vile and violent manner. Seems to me that the fiercest assailents have a very thin skin.
.
Would be nice to see the two top religious leaders in a boxing ring, slugging it out.

Pope Benedict XVI was last night facing angry demands from Muslims that he apologise for a speech in which he appeared to say the concept of jihad was "unreasonable" and quoted a medieval ruler who said Muhammad's innovations were "evil and inhuman".

Protests swept across the Islamic world and the furore threatened a scheduled visit by the Pope to Turkey.

The Vatican spokesman, Federico Lombardi, told Vatican Radio: "It was certainly not the intention of the Holy Father to undertake a comprehensive study of the jihad and of Muslim ideas on the subject, still less to offend the sensibilities of the Muslim faithful."
