So let's get this straight:

Pope gives a lecture and cites a Byzantine Emperor who criticises religious violence and compulsion.

Muslims everywhere say "That's not true, he is a hypocrite, our religion is not violent"

Muslim men then kill an innocent nun in order to seek vegence against the criticism that their religion is violent.

Ugh.

The moderates need to take back their religion.

The Pope was only speaking the truth when he said Muhammid was evil.

He didn't say that. He was giving a lecture on Byzantine theology, and he cited a discussion in which a Byzantine emperor noted with unusual brusqueness that Muhammad has given the world evil things such as religious warfare.

This type of incident, the slaying of innocent "infidels", illustrates the point perfectly.

No amount of European escapism can help you avoid the irony of this situation.
