#1 Pope caves? Doubtful

All we've heard is Erdogan's take.

The bulk of Benedict's writing says otherwise.

#2 "he reiterated his view of Islam as peaceful and affectionate."

-maybe he just meant in theory vice in practice.

#3 a book is peaceful and affectionate. The practitioners of teh informnation it contains may not be. I don't understand why so many are eager to bash this pope and his pushback against Islamofascism. Are you not happy that he doesn't send B52's on an arclight mission? Idiots? What're your efforts beside commenting here? He's putting his life on the line. You may not agree with the pace, but again, what have you done, or what would you do?

#4 It's a Reuters story for Pete's sake, folks. Don't blow your binnacles. He is giving them his best reconciling shot. I have a feeling that events will change us all, in due time. Pope Benedict is not a dhimmi.

#5 Pope caves!?!?

Isn't the Pope a bit old for spelunking?

#6 Images matter. What doesn't matter is if he were "nuanced" or reasonable in actuality. That kind of talk is over their heads anyway. He's presenting the image of giving in to muzzie pressure and that will only embolden the islamonuts. It doesn't take much for them to claim victory.

#7 Wait a minute, Spot. This is Reuters, and they're quoting that weasel Erdogan. Tomorrow another news source will probably have a completely different take on this.
