Pope Stops Short Of Apologizing...

Pope Benedict XVI "sincerely regrets" offending Muslims with his reference to an obscure medieval text that characterizes some of the teachings of Islam's founder as "evil and inhuman," the
Vatican said Saturday.

But the statement stopped short of the apology 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 pope's remarks Tuesday in a speech to university professors in his native Germany.
