Pope Benedict has apologized for remarks about Islam that set off an angry and sometimes violent reaction world-wide. At a speech in Germany last week, Benedict suggested Islam is an inherently violent religion. He also called some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhhamed “evil and inhuman.” Demonstrators in several countries protested the Pope’s remarks. At least seven churches have been attacked in the West Bank while in Somalia an Italian nun has been killed in what are believed to be acts of retaliation.
