Pope sparks fury among Muslims
Published: 15 Sep 2006

Muslims across the world have lined up to condemn remarks on Islam
quoted by Pope Benedict XVI in a speech in Germany.
Watch the report
In a deeply theological speech at his old university, the Pope quoted a
14th Century Christian emperor who said the Prophet Muhammad had
brought the world only "evil and inhuman" thingsHowever, the Vatican
denied that the Pontiff intended any offence to the Muslim religion and
had only wanted to make clear that he rejected violence motivated by
religion.
The Vatican statement, which falls short of an apology, has done little
to appease critics in the Muslim world, however.
The head of the Egyptian-based Muslim Brotherhood called on Islamic
countries to threaten to break off relations with the Vatican unless
the pontiff withdrew his remarks.
Mohamed Mahdi Akef,whose organisation is one of the oldest, largest and
most influential in the Arab world, said: "The Pope has aroused the
anger of the whole Islamic world and strengthened the argument of those
who say that the West is hostile to everything Islamic."
Elsewhere, Palestinian prime minister, Ismail Haniya, condemned the
Pope's comments. In Iraq, the comments were criticised at Friday
prayers by followers of radical Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, while the
"hostile" remarks drew a demand for an apology from a top religious
official in Turkey.

It's high time someone in Christanity spoke out about Mohammad. He was a monster. Islam refuses to
accept this simple reality. Instead, they call for a Jihad who speaks the truth and continues to
live a great lie. Sad.
