The Forty-Two Martyrs of Amorion

For those of you who have been following Pope Benedict's statements about the Muslims. It is very clear that he regrets he said what he did, but he has not apoligized. He also does not owe an apology for any statements that are true. For those that don't know, this is the statement made.
"In a broader talk rejecting any religious motivation for violence, Benedict cited the words of a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as "evil and inhuman," particularly "his command to spread by the sword the faith."
I can tell you this. This statement is only minor, compared to the many teachings of the Quarun. The Pope owes no apology, and to tell you quite frankly, its about time someone started talking about the Quarun. It teaches those who believe, to kill non-believers.
I am passing along a website called "Byzantine Catholic Culture". This website will give a little history of what exactly the Pope was talking about when he made his statement. The Byzantine Empire dates back to the year 500 AD, and their history is quite complicated. The remnents of this empire and religion, mainly Catholic, are still with us today.
