If one reads the man's speech, it was a very obscure reference in a speech about somthing else entirely and does not seem to have been intended as an attack on Islam. Someone is clearly combing the pope's speeches, looking for something to be offended about. Unfortunately, the pope can apologize all he wants, and it won't help: the truth never catches up with the rumor, and he doesn't have a megaphone the size of the one that stirred up this ruckus.
