The pope's intention can never be evaluated, yet we as Muslims are in a vulnerable position forcing us to agree that he did have good intentions. The pope only repeated what was quoted by the emperor without evaluating such a quote or even the outcome of such a quote. Knowledge of history is very important. This is not an act to be expected from a pope.
It's amazing how the media cuts out the Muslim world from their nonviolent behavior. I am not criticizing the pope. I am criticizing those who enjoy putting Muslims in an angry predicament and magnify it for their own fortune.
