WorldNetDaily: The rage of Islam: " To bank the firestorm ignited by his address in Regensburg, Germany, Pope Benedict XVI declared himself 'deeply sorry' for the effect his remarks have had on the Muslim world. The words of the Byzantine emperor he quoted, Benedict explained, were 'from a Medieval text which do not in any way express my personal thoughts.'
The pope's subject was the 'profound harmony' of biblical truth and Greek thought. No conflict exists, he argued, between true faith and right reason. Contending violence is the antithesis of reason, he cited the 'erudite Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologus,' during a siege of Constantinople, between A.D. 1394 and 1402.
Benedict's words merit being put into context.
'I would like to discuss one point – itself rather marginal to the dialogue as a whole – which ... can serve as the starting point for my reflections on this issue. (Column continues)"
