Maybe this belongs in the other forum.
This is what I've seen of the popes quote. He was quoting someone else.
"The emperor comes to speak about the issue of jihad, holy war," Benedict said. "He said, I quote, 'Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.'"
The pope did not explicitly agree with nor repudiate the comment.
Is this really all it takes to get Muslims all up in arms.
