I'm here. I'll weight on this one. This is a first I've heard of the nun, and it's despicable what the militia did---it's sickening. I have to read the article more.
On the whole Pope thing. Personally, I've seen it discussed on CNN ad neasum. To be honest with you, I'm just satisfied that the pope did apologize, but I don't think it was rally-worthy cause. Yes, it did hurt that the Pope would say something like that because the muslim community and the Pope had a good interfaith relationship. Now, I don't know anyone who's gone and rallied, but most people I know just brushed it off--which is something we've been doing alot of lately.
PS: I don't speak for the "moderate" muslims (and there is no designated moderate muslim leader that does speak for them FYI). So I can't tell you what you want to hear, unfortunately. Just my POV.
