Pope Sparks Outcry Photos
Iraqis burn an effigy of Pope Benedict XVI during a demonstration in Basra, Iraq's second-largest city, Monday Sept.18, 2006.The protest was against his speech last week in Germany, particularly his quoting of a medieval text that characterized some of the teachings of Islam's founder as "evil and inhuman" and referred to spreading Islam "by the sword." Benedict said Sunday that he is "deeply sorry" his remarks on Islam.
