This text differs slightly from the remarks he actually delivered.
Little Green Footballs observes correctly (sadly) that the Pope's responses to the Muslim criticism of him:
. . . are exactly the wrong way to go, for one simple reason. It won’t work. Islamists can tell the difference between diplomatic words and true surrender, and they want the Pope to utterly abase himself."The Pope's Non-Apology." Little Green Footballs, 9/17/06.
It would be far better to stand up, and speak truth about the Muslim world’s insane reaction to his speech. The Pope actually has a golden opportunity right now to bring these issues to the forefront of the public dialog, but it looks like he’s not going to use it.
