"What the Pope brilliantly did at Regensburg was to open up the conversation about violence in Islam"

- George Weigel on Pope Benedict's controversial allusions to Islamic violence in September 2006 at the University of Regensburg. (in case you have forgotten the hullabaloo, the text of the Pope's speech is available here; my thoughts were here.)

Find further of Weigel's current commentary at Newsweek- "A Question of Freedom"- on the Pope's visit to Turkey, here.
