No really, their hearts and minds tactics have worked. I am convinced that the Pope was way off the mark. 
The Turkish authorities are threatening to cancel his visit if he does not issue a full apology? Every time I turn on CNN its "The Pope is sorry for...." or "The Pope apologized...." They don't care that he has apologized, they only want to stir the jihad.
I have to add, that this many people in the islamic community have shown up to jump all over the Pope, but I have yet to hear one come out and say that shooting an innocent nun in the back is wrong.
