The pope, the muslims etc, etc.

Ok, so I am not the biggest defender of the pope, and I think in general, the Catholic church is pretty dysfunctional. There are great Catholics, but... So, not to knock Catholics, but to underscore that I am not a kneejerk "whatever the pope says is good" kind of person, what a load of shit coming from the Muslims. Unbelievable. I am sorry the pope capitualted enough to give them an apology at all, it just makes things worse, and they won't be satisfied. It's like giving in to a child having a temper tantrum and letting them get the cookie after all. If in this world we can no longer speak our mind, without fear of retribution from the lunatic fringe of the lunatic fringe, save the handbasket, we're there already.
