From UT's link:
Larger Islamic groups in Britain said they accepted the Pope's apology. Inayat Bunglawala of the Muslim Council of Britain said: "The Vatican has moved quickly to deal with the hurt and we accept that.
"It was something that should never have happened - words of that nature were always likely to cause dismay - and we believe some of the Pope's advisers may have been at fault over his speech."
Yesterday's sermon by the Pope was the first time a pontiff has publicly said sorry.
Frankly, extremists on both sides say inflammatory things (I'm not counting the Pope as an extremist -just foolish). Christianity and the Muslim faith BOTH have a very bloody history that adherents of BOTH religions should feel ashamed of. Alas, we never seem to learn. Sometimes I get very fed up with the human race - self included.
We should all just go solar and leave Jesus and Mohamed out of our little human power plays.
