Pope Benedict the 16th quoted, and made very clear he was quoting, Emperor Manuel II Paleologos of Byzantium in an adress on the incompatibility of violence and the nature of God where the late emperor critcised Mohammed for spreading religion by the sword and Muslim "leaders" are working themselves into a froth about it in a way that is unnervingly reminiscent of the Cartoon Wars earlier this year; howling denunciations, demands for apologies, burnings in effigy-- you get the idea.
Cue the riots.
