The words of Pope Benedict the Sixteenth continue to cause outrage across the Middle East. As I am sure you have heard by now, during a speech in his native Germany the Pope quoted an ancient Byzantinian Emperor who claimed Islam was violent and evil.

Many Muslims have also compared the Pope to Hitler. Because, as we know, the Pope’s intolerance towards other faiths is unparalleled by anything we have ever witnessed in the ultra-progressive Arab world.
