So-so sorry Pope's apology to Muslims not enough: Islamic leaders By AP VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict "sincerely regrets" offending Muslims with his reference Tuesday to an obscure medieval text that characterizes some of the teachings of Islam's founder as "evil and inhuman," the Vatican said yesterday. But the statement stopped short of the full, personal apology being demanded by Islamic leaders around the globe, and anger among Muslims remained intense. Palestinians attacked five churches in the West Bank and Gaza over the Pontiff's remarks in a speech to professors in his native Germany. In the speech, Benedict cited the words of a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed as "evil and inhuman," particularly "his command to spread by the sword the faith." The Pontiff didn't specifically endorse that description, but by not questioning them he set off a firestorm of protests across the Muslim world.
