ok, here's my say in this: i do believe the muslims over-react way too much. i'm not being racist when saying that, but it's a fact right? fair enough, i can see why the muslim communities got upset and angry at him, but it's not enough to start horrific violence agaisnt other races. pope benedict could've given a more direct apology, but if he even hinted an apology, the muslim people should be happy with that. the muslims have definetly been over-reacting at this. what has Pope Benedict got to do to make the muslims happy? convert to a muslim and believe in the qu'ran? to be honest with you, in my opinion, Muslims think they are above-the-rest of everyone else and they should be treated differently for what they believe in. many people believe in different things, so why should the muslim community be treated any differently eh? it's kind of ironic how the radicals within their race have been creating violence when it says clearly in the qu'ran that violence should never be an option at all.
