Update: B13 Wimps Out!

Okay, you hopefully caught my little take on Pope Benedict 13’s comments about Islam. Last week, B13 pissed Muslims off by pulling out a passage from a Byzantine Emperor about how anything "new" from Muhammad was evil and inhuman, particularly when the religion in question teaches spreading it, quote, "by the sword". That apparently pissed off the Muslims, which really doesn’t bode well for them in the first place. Are they REALLY that thin-skinned and self-centered? I mean their reaction pretty much VALIDATES the criticism!

Well now B13 just issued an apology of sorts. He says that he was just QUOTING someone, and that the passage from Manuel Paleologos II "doesn’t reflect his own personal views".

Nice wuss act Benny!

Let’s see… you come down HARD on secular thinking… you CRUCIFY science and scientists… but you FAIL to show any kind of strength against the Muslims. Why is that?

Where are your CONVICTIONS? Where is that FIRE that you had when you came down on rock music all those years ago?

Where, sir, are your BALLS? Or did you have to give them up when you were elevated?

I’m not an atheist, but I have to wonder of Benny would come down on secular thinking if atheists acted more like Muslims.
