What do you think about what the pope said the other day? I think if Islam wants people to stop thinking that there violent they should stop having violent protests.

Actually, the Pope was quoting a medieval-era Byzantine Emperor, in a speech about the problems with wars in the name of relgion.
It is sort of ironic that some people in the middle east are burning down Christian churches, vandalizing others, go out and storm the houses of the local christian population and beat them up, and someone killed a nun in Somalia, all because they are mad that the pope quoted someone centuries before said their religion is violent.
