So it is the Pope's fault these 10th Century morons are constantly spoiling for a fight? Why doesn't the Catholic Church burn down Mosque's and feed the fire of extremists in their own ranks to demand equal rights for Christians in various Muslim countries? Like Saudi Arabia? Because unlike these aggressive leaders in the Muslim faith they prefer to solve their problems through diplomatic means. What the Pope said, even if one can take offence to it (although I think the backlash is totally uncalled for), is in the past and it should stay there. He apologised, clarified and moved on, why can't these morons just do the same? Instead they call for YET ANOTHER day of rage and protest after Fridays visit to the Mosque. Fucking imbeciles.
