I agree with the Pope!

So the Pope claims the Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus must have known that surah 2, 256 reads: "There is no compulsion in religion", and then asked "an educated Persian"
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached".
I understand this to mean that he's saying that Mohammed's "command to spread by the sword the faith he preached" is evil. So why are people rioting? Just say you don't think it's evil!

Me, I find myself agreeing with the Pope, although given the history of the Catholic church, I find the argument coming from him a little rich.
