Link to BBC NEWS | Security tight for Pope blessing

I have been watching / reading the news about the pope and the speech he made on Tuesday where he quoted a 14th Century Christian Emperor who said the prophet Muhammad had brought the world only "Evil and inhuman" things. Should he apologize??? maybe I don't know but from what I have seen and read this has been blown out of all proportions in the media and in the Islam world, to me it is another excuse for the radical Islam followers to play the victim again the same way they did last year when the cartoons of Muhammad were printed in Denmark.

I am speaking here and someone who does not follow any religion as I don't believe in any of it, but I am getting sick of all these protests from the radicals calling for the pope to die / be killed / etc etc you get the picture it was the same last year over the cartoons as well, we live in a free society well at the moment we do (different rant on that).

Not all Muslims are as radical as the ones on the headlines these are the silent but peace loving people that follow their choosing religion with no agenda, they need to start to stand up to these radicals and tell them it is not the way they want to be portrayed this can also be applied to any of the main stream religions as they all have radicals in their followers. Before anyone says that I am getting on to the Muslims then check out some of my other posts regarding Israel and there unjust and unfair war toward the people of Palestine, I am just getting sick of all this war and death over what outdated teachings from thousands of years ago and people's interpretation of them.

After all it is now the 21st Century and we should be getting to the stage where we can work as a united world to make it better for all its inhabitants not just the select few, and yes I can be included in that as I have never known hunger or thirst.
