"theology rightly belongs in the university" -- B16

Recommended reading.

Update: Unsurprisingly, the parts of the lecture that are getting the most press are the remarks on Islam.

The Muslim response begins:

I call on all Arab and Islamic states to recall their ambassadors from the Vatican and expel those from the Vatican until the pope says he is sorry for the wrong done to the Prophet and to Islam, which preaches peace, tolerance, justice and equality.
--Haken al-Mutairi, Secretary General of Kuwait's Umma party

I will be interested to see any acknowledgment of Islam's violent theology and history from a Muslim--seems to me like they flatly deny it.
