I feel deeply saddened by the sheer shortsightedness of his unfortunate comments. Hatred breeds hatred. Intolerance breeds intolerance. I only hope that he hasn't done permanent damage.

Religion and the acts of Muhammad P.B.U.H teach tolerance and the way that the muslim community reacts to criticism on islam these days gives it the image that it has these days. if I love Muhammad, i love him regardless of what pope says about him and if or should he apologise or not. it was despicable the way muslims reacted to the cartoons and to the Pope's remarks about Mohammad. The horrendous reaction only proves the Pope right in quoting a Byzantine emperor who linked Islam with violence. We can erase these baseless sterotypes by our behaviour and reaction. let the Pope and evangelical charistians theorise about Islam as much as they want, but we as a community can prove all their thoeries wrong by acting just a little sensibly and with some common sense.

Indeed, muslims must not reinforce the prevailing stereotypes. But then the Pope is not an ordinary man. We expect more 'compassion' and understanding from him than was displayed by those unfortunate remarks. Your emphasis on dialogue in these troubled times is most appropriate. Why don't you write something to be posted here..? GS: your points are most valid. Indeed, muslims must not reinforce the prevailing stereotypes. But then the Pope is not an ordinary man.

However, there is something called freedom of speech , and even the Pope should be entitled to it. Our brethren all aoround the world have a tendency to react with violence to verbal expression. I will reiterate again "only verbal expression".The pope should offer deep apology and the demands should be made via a dialogue rather than killing an italian nun in Somalia and settinf churches in west bank afire. Did the world witness any outrage at Ahmedinaj regime led holocaust contest by the jews or christians ? no matter how deeply one feels about things but civilised nations deal with things maturely sans violence. We need more and more people like you who bring their sentiments to writing as this is the only way to deal with the divide that has been created in today's world between islam and west.
