I see on the news that the Pope has offended an entire religion by making derogatory remarks about Islam. Well done that man. Way to go your holiness. Why be a religious leader if you can't offend an entire culture once in a while?
Nah, I'm only yanking your chain. Personally I think the comments made by the Pope were plain old fashioned ignorance. But then again when has it ever been the duty of the Pope to be anything but? Pope John Paul wasn't exactly enlightened when he decided that condoms were the work of the Devil and that anyone wishing to avoid eternal damnation should steer clear of them despite AIDS being responsible for 2.8 million deaths last year.

Well to a certain extent it's arguable that JOhn Paul II was following ther teachings of both Bible and Church follwoing Vatiucan II in the sixties, whereas Benedict is either just an idiot, a bigot or so naive as to beggar belief.
Were I am Muslim, I'd have been offended by the foolish old man, although clearly not to the extent that the equally foolish halfwits blowing up Anglican churches were.
