Cheers for Pope Benedict; Jeers to CNN

I was just in the gym working out and on the TV on CNN Headline News there's the headline at the bottom of the screen: "Pope attacks Islam". Boy... what a misrepresentation of what Pope Benedict said on Sept. 12 at the University of Regensburg in Germany. Now, I'm by no means a fan of the Roman Catholic church. However, I have to applaud Pope Benedict for taking an honest look at the history of Islam and an honest look at Islam will reveal that it has been a violent religion since its inception. It has been! There is no denying that. In the Pope's speech, he quoted Byzantine emperor Manuel Paleologos II and that guy had some more vicious comments about Mohammed. I couldn't hear the sound from the CNN but the blurbs on the screen made it sound like they were attributing Benedict's quoting of Emperor Paleologos to Benedict himself and that's simply untrue. Gee... CNN being misleading and inflammatory... who'd have thought it?
