Thankfully, at least some journalists have the honesty and courage needed to come forward and defend the comments of Pope Benedict XVI regarding the Islamic propensity towards violence:
William Rees-Mogg of The Times of London,
Michelle Malkin,
Mary Katharine Ham does a comprehensive analysis of the Pope's remarks and subsequent pressured "apologies",
David Warren, writing in The Ottawa Citizen,
And miracle of all miracles, London's The Sunday Times has taken an official stance in an editorial that Pope Benedict should continue to explore the theme that violence and reasonable religion are incompatible.
It is heartening that at least some journalists and newspapers are defending Pope Benedict. There should be more. Any journalist who believes in freedom of speech, any academic that believes in academic freedom, and any politician who cares about the serious problems of Islamist violence should do so as well.
