Here, here, any damnable heresy you want, just don't kill me.
 YnetNews.com (excerpts):  It has been five years since his controversial lecture about Islam at the German University of Regensburg.  On September 12, 2006, Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) claimed that the god of the Muslims is both transcendental and unreasonable and he severely condemned jihad and the use of violence in the name of the Koran.  It was the only public event during which a Pope told the truth about some aspects of the Islamic religion.  Benedict XVI made himself a central player in the post-9/11 era.  His speech against the link between religion and violence, typical of Islam today, was not a mistake or a false step, as some observers wrote at the time; it was rather a vigorous attack against certain aspects of Islamic fanaticism.  The reaction to the Pope's speech was a familiar spectacle: threats, riots and violence.  From the religious leaders in Muslim majority countries to the New York Times, all demanded the Pope's apologies.  In the Palestinian areas, churches were attacked and Christians targeted.  In the Somali capital, Mogadishu, an Italian nun was executed.  In Iraq, Amer Iskander, a Syrian Orthodox priest, was beheaded and his arms mutilated.  In Islamic forums, Ratzinger was depicted like Dracula.  He received many death threats, "slaughter him," "pig servant of the cross," "odious evil," "Allah curse him," "vampire who sucks blood," and so on.  The highest Islamic representative in Turkey, Ali Bardakoglu, declared that Ratzinger's speech was "full of enmity and hatred."  The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood pledged "reactions worse than those against the Danish cartoons."  Iran's supreme Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused the Pope of being part of the "conspiracy of the Crusaders."  Under pressure and aiming to stop any further violence, the Pope apologized.  

Benedict XVI recently visited again his native Germany, but this time with a different agenda.  Five years later, the Vatican adopted a pro-Islam course and has capitulated to fundamentalists.  In a recent book written by German journalist Peter Sewald, Pope Ratzinger expressed "regrets about the Regenzburg lecture."  The Vatican's new agenda seeks to reach political accommodations with Islamic states and foreswear forceful public condemnation of Islamist and jihadist ideology.      

Appeasement Agenda:  After Regensburg, the Vatican adopted an appeasement agenda.  Indeed, dialogue with Iran's mullahs is pivotal in the new Vatican agenda.  Recently, a delegation of clergy members of Iran's Islamic Consultative Assembly visited the Vatican, meeting with top Catholic officials.  Last autumn, Vatican representatives met with Muslim leaders from around the world in Tehran for a three day "interreligious dialogue."  In Tehran, Cardinal Tauran praised Iran's "spirit of cordiality" and "the friendly Ahmadinejad."  Last month, the Vatican published a letter written by Tauran addressing his "Dear Muslim friends."  In the letter, Tauran asked for Islamic help to form an alliance against atheism.      

Commentary:  That's right, send a clear message that one will cower every time the decapitations and mutilations begin, that everyone will "bow down" to Islam!  In this "politically correct" world we live in today, it is forbidden to tell the truth, and is rather acceptable and promoted that one should, "if necessary," lie like the devil and even condemn the truth in order to appease violent maniacs.  The fact of the matter is, to be politically correct is to be Biblically and spiritually corrupt!  On the other hand, Youcef Nadarkhani, the Christian pastor sitting on Iran's death row for "apostasy," is emphatic that he will not recant his faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, even if it costs him his life - the difference between a true follower of Christ and a real apostate.  The Bible says, "The Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter days, some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils" 1 Timothy 4:1.  Two prominent figures will arise in these last days: the Antichrist and the false prophet.  "I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon (Satan), out of the mouth of the beast (Antichrist) and out of the mouth of the false prophet (last days prominent religious leader)" Revelation 16:13.  Even Muslims have been quoted as saying that the description of the Antichrist of the Bible fits the Qu'ran's description of the Mahdi (Muslims' messiah) to come, so that leaves the identity of the false prophet.  Take one guess as to who that might be.
