The Beast in the Middle East: Day 1 (No disrespect, Pope Benedict is not "The Beast")

It's not a conflict many people know about, but in this modern world many of the major religions don't get along as well as they used to, and the Catholic church is no exception. Also three years ago Benedict quoted a Medieval text which called some of Muhammad's teachings "evil and inhumane," so a healthy portion of the Muslim world is miffed at the pontiff. Easing this tension is one of the pope's primary goals on his Middle East tour, and at Jordan's Hussein bin Talal Mosque today he expressed his deep regret for his previous statements. However, this apology failed to satisfy many in the Muslim community, so all hope is lost. Tomorrow we'll see where Benedict stands in with Jews.

and I agree with the author for his reasoning his conclusions logically.
