No excuses

The Pope did not have anything to apologize for:

1. He did tell the truth, as Muslims confirmed by their reactions.

2. The Quote was not his words but from the 14th Century Kaiser of the Byzantine.

My opionion:

No way anybody should appease Muslims anywhere on any level, of authority or personally. it only emboldens them, and they see it as signs of weakness.
