Pandering Pontif

Some Bullshit from the Coptic Pope:
In the first reaction from a top Christian leader, the head of Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Church said in remarks published Saturday that Pope Benedict XVI's comments on Islam were "against the teachings of Christ."
Coptic Pope Shenouda III told the pro-government Al-Ahram newspaper that he didn't hear the pope's exact words, but that "any remarks which offend Islam and Muslims are against the teachings of Christ."

Right, don't say anything that might piss off the Pharisees.
Also, did you notice how the paper took the actual words and summarized them incorrectly?
The Copt didn't say anything about Ratzinger, he was speaking hypothetically, admittedly, a cowards way out, but, in his position surrounded by 55 million muslims just waiting for an excuse to torch a church, I can't really blame him.
