Pope Benedict XVI Speechifize!
The Pope had not intended to offend when he quoted a 14th-century Christian emperor as saying the Prophet Muhammad had introduced only "evil and inhuman" ideas into the world.
He's been taking speechification lessons from our fearless leader (a.k.a. Deserter George). Apparently, the main goal is to see how many people you can piss off without even trying.
From the Guardian UK:
"The Vatican last night said Pope Benedict XVI had not intended to offend when he quoted a 14th-century Christian emperor as saying the Prophet Muhammad had introduced only "evil and inhuman" ideas into the world.
"It certainly was not the intention of the Pope to carry out a deep examination of jihad and Muslim thought on it, much less to offend the sensibility of Muslim believers," a Vatican spokesman said."

Good think the Pope has the hard fighting Swiss Army to protect him.
Those sticks look like they could hurt!
What does this have to do with music? Well, there's definitely less harmony in the world.
