Pope, Muslim Controversy Prompted Many Editorials
Posted by Munir Umrani on September 21, 2006
On September 19, 2006, McClatchy-Tribune News Service published interesting editorials from several newspapers that felt the need to comment on Pope Benedict XVI’s “apology” to Muslims offended by his use of statement by Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologos that says, ”Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”
The passage was quoted during a September 12, 2006 speech at the University of Regensberg in Germany.
