Fallout from Pope's Islam Speech Story aired: Monday, September 18, 2006
Muslims burned effigies of the pope in southern Iraq and in Indian-controlled Kashmir. And an Al Qaeda-linked group released a statement warning that the pope and the Wst were doomed" and that non-Muslims must convert or die by the sword.
The controversy began last week when the pope in a lecture quoted a 14th century Byzantine emperor who had characterized Islamic teachings as "evil and inhuman."
Sunday, in his first public appearance since that lecture, the pope said he was deeply sorry that there had been such an angry reaction to the medieval citation.
