سخنان روز سه شنبه 12 سپتمبر 2006 پاپ بندیکت شانزدهم در مورد اسلام ، مایۀ تأسف و توهین به پیغمبر بزرگ اسلام "ص" و دین مبین اسلام میباشد. ـ

The comments of Pope Benedict XVI on 12 September regarding Islam are regrettable and affront to our Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and Islam. The comments showed an inadequate understanding of Islam and warrants for an apology to Muslims, the followers of a religion of peace and reconciliation.

Thus, this lies with the world leaders to put efforts in bringing different civilizations and followers of religions closer to each other.
