There have been many Muslim leaders in the media here denouncing this over-reaction by their fellows.

As with every other instance similar to this one, I would suggest it is pertinent not to judge a whole religion by the actions of a few.

surely every one of us knows someone who follows Islamic law? Surely most people realize that the majority of Muslim people are are peaceful and thoughtful. In fact, I would comment further by saying that I have not met one single Muslim person, man or woman, who has made me feel in any way frightened or threatened.

Surely these are the things we should all remember when we try to practice tolerance of other people's actions.

The Pope should be a bit more sensitive next time he decides to run his mouth off although it's true that the particular passage which has caused this reaction has been quoted out of context.

Diplomacy! Even Popes need it!
