#1 I was hoping the Pope's statement would be in classical latin.

"Islam delenda est".

#2 I was hoping that like Sister Edith Anne he'd say, "Who didn't understand me the first time."

#3 Enough with these "regrets"...

Time for the Pope to tell these people where to get off.

How about inviting them to convert ?

#4 Interesting. Not a sign of "regret" anywhere. The choice of a diplomatic audience is significant, too, with a renewed call for "reciprocity" and basic civil rights in the Muslim ummah. I suspect Benedict is going to be relentless with that theme.

#5 How about inviting them to convert ?

Exactly John, until that is possible all dialogues are not on a round table basis and bound to fail and end up as a useless eyewash.

#6 Muslims know that Christianity has been neutered in the West, but don't realize that there is precedent for a secular "crusade" that could result in their early demise.
