Pope Benedict is sorry Muslims were offended by a speech that provoked fury in the Islamic world and led to calls for the leader of the Catholic church to apologize personally, the Vatican said on Saturday."We feel he has committed a grave error against us and that this mistake will only be removed through a personal apology," the Brotherhood's deputy leader, Mohammed Habib, told Reuters.
Muslims are so easily offended.
"The Holy Father is very sorry that some passages of his speech may have sounded offensive to the sensibilities of Muslim believers," Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone said in a statement.
Basically, the Pope said that early Muslims had spread their religion by violence. I can't believe the fact is disputed. Of course it was.
But so was Christianity.
Religion is the number one cause of war, hatred and injustice.

He may turn out to be my favorite pope because of this. Of course that's not really saying a whole lot.
Humans are the number one cause of war, hatred and injustice. Religion is a tool.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, beats Innocent III for a good time.
He was Innocent, I tell ya. Innocent!
"Religion is the number one cause of war, hatred and injustice."
What is the number two cause of war, hatred and injustice?
Which one of these murderous dictators was a theist acting in the name of God?
