Even When I'm Wrong--I'm Right

I stand partially corrected. It seems the pope did not call the muslims violent, but rather he said that some of Muhammad's teachings were "vile and inhuman." Tsk tsk, your holiness. You should have known that these words would produce a negative reaction--nobody really likes being called vile or inhuman. But then again, have you ever actually read the Quran? It doesn't exactly exude compassion and understanding to christians and jews. Of course the christians and the jews have been hostile to one antother for thousands of years and both have always been hostile to pagans. Really the pope's mistake consisted in ascribing "vile and inhuman" doctrines only to muslims. A slightly more honest man would tell you that all religious doctrine is "vile and inhuman."
