Pope plays into hands of al-Qaida

IS Pope Benedict a secret weapon of al-Qaida?

Probably not, but he might as well be — at least according to what I’ve just seen on an al-Qaida website.

Nor is it enough for his aids and spindoctors to say he was misrepresented. The Pope is not Salman Rushdie being unjustly targeted by a crisis-ridden Iranian dictatorship for purposes of internal repression.
