Turkey is pretty desperate to join the EU and even though Benedict had rejected this idea at one stage, Turkey has to be seen as being a mature democracy (with particular emphases on human rights including the elimination of capital punishment and full acceptance of free speech), to help its passage to the EU. To this end, I think Turkey will, of necessity, stifle all its known hot heads before and during the Papal visit which in turn will be most carefully orchestrated. Cornel PS I have read the entire speech by Benedict. I believe he made an error of judgement at this juncture on using a pretty unhelpful quote without adequate and transparent qualification. But his apology should be enough. I definitely cannot condone/support Muslim outrage over the Pope's speech. I really am tired of fundamentalist groups whether Sikh, Muslim, Christian or whatever, taking bigotry to extremes and especially trying to stifle free speech--the most treasured thing we have at our disposal.
