Byzantine Emperor Apologizes to Muslims For Quote
Topics: Understanding Islam
In the view of some historians, the Pope's recent apology to enraged Muslims over use of a quote written by Manuel II Palaeologus in 1391 bears a striking similarity with a similar apology delivered more than 600 years ago by Manuel II Palaeologus himself to offended Muslim armies after they ransacked his Christian country, converted its citizens to Islam, and beheaded or enslaved those who resisted the forced conversions.
You'll find the rest of the apology here - you gotta read it and you're gonna love it! (Hat tip - Egyptian Sandmonkey)
And you absolutely must see this video (also available at The People's Cube - they made it!)
