Pope's speech
Given the current controversy stemming from Pope Benedict XVI's address to the University of Regensburg on Sept. 12 I strongly recommend that everyone read what the Holy Father actually said. I will come as no surprise to learn that what is being portrayed (and what most Muslims are offended by) is not actually the intent of his words. (The address is not about Islam.) Most Muslims, like the rest of the world, are being misled by quotes out of context. If you have Muslim friends, or other friends who are talking about this address I suggest you urge them to read it for themselves.

Actually, this address is worth reading even though I couldn't follow all of it. It contains an important critique of modern thought and relationship to religion.
