The saga continues

Several worthwhile stories continue to emerge concerning the Holy Father's lecture at the University of Regensburg during his return to his native Bavaria.

Mehmet Ali Acga, the man who attempted to assasinate the Servant of God Pope John Paul II warned Pope Benedict XVI that his life is in danger and that "for your own welfare you must make a grand gesture of honour and resign". Apparently speaking the truth is not worth it. Acga even suggests whom the next Pontiff should be.

The "Army of Guidance," comprised of Muslim militants formed in Gaza to attack Christian faithful and places until the Pope apologized. Now that he has, I don't expect that they'll disband.

Abdallah Redouane, the leading Muslim in Italy, accepted the Holy Father's apology and said "the way to dialogue has been reopened".

Islamic clerics in Pakistan - some one thousand or so of them - say Pope Benedict XVI must go because of his "insulting remarks". Can we demand their removal when they insult Christianity? The group's statement said the "pope, and all infidels, should know that no Muslim, under any circumstances, can tolerate an insult to the Prophet (Muhammad). ... If the West does not change its stance regarding Islam, it will face severe consequences." Translation: it's back to Muhammad's way of spreading his new religion, convert or die.
