vatican un Vatican tries to reassure Muslims from UN podium  
Perilous Times and The One World Religion/Church Vatican tries to reassure Muslims from UN podium By Howard Goller Reuters Wednesday, September 27, 2006; 4:51 PM UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The Vatican used the stage of the United Nations on Wednesday to try to make amends for remarks by Pope Benedict that drew fury from Muslims worldwide.

General Assembly that the pope had voiced sadness at the possible misinterpretation of quotes _link_ing Muslims and violence. His real intention was to explain that 'not religion and violence, but religion and reason go together,' in the context of a critical vision of a society which seeks to exclude God from public life, Lajolo said. The pope, 79, has faced persistent criticism despite four attempts to make amends, without actually apologizing directly, for a speech he gave on September 12 in his native Germany. His last effort was in Italy on Monday when he spoke to diplomats from some 20 Muslim countries plus leaders of Italy's own Muslim community. In New York, foreign ministers of the 56-member Organization of the Islamic Conference, meeting on the sidelines of the General Assembly, had urged the pope to retract or redress the comments. Benedict enraged Muslims two weeks ago by quoting 14th century Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaeologus, who said everything the Prophet Mohammad brought was evil such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached. The Muslim foreign ministers said in a statement on Tuesday they feared the pope's language might engender tension between the Muslim world and the Vatican. Lajolo, who only 12 days ago stepped down as Vatican foreign minister, said: It falls to all interested parties
