| The one thing that gets me is the cries from the Muslim world, even amongst secularist factions be they revisionist or from the scholarly intellectual tradition, is that what the Pope said, a QUOTE from the 14th century, is deeply offensive.
OF COURSE it's deeply offensive! When one 'faith' with a 'universal, absolute truth' squares off against the other, of course there's gonna be disagreement, and offence given and taken. And come ON! He's the Fucking Pope, the Absolute Leader Of The Absolute Truth (available in other flavours of the Christian Rainbow as well!), ANYTHING he says is gonna offend Muslims, Buddhists, Communists, Atheists, Jews, Homosexuals, Apes, Dolphins, Martians, etc, etc.
