The visit of Pope Benedict XVI has been used by his opponents to demonstrate against him. Who are they? They are a mixture between militant secularists and radical humanists. BBC has published their profile and can be read at BBC News - Papal visit: Pope Benedict XVI's opponents . The only group not mentioned in this profile is the radical Islamic group, which also demonstrated against the Pope.

The visit to the lion's nest has proved to be not harmful to the Pope Benedict XVI, who visited the UK 16-19 September 2010. The Pope team said even that the success has gone beyond their expectation. This is the resume of BBC: Pope's visit is deemed to challenge stereotypes .

Today I missed Germany a lot. Therefore I sat down and browsed German Newspapers. Die Welt wrote an article about " As a culture Islam will vanish ". In that article Die Welt published an interview with the Egyptian writer and scientist Hamad Abdel-Samad , who is also an expert in political science. At 23 he went to Germany to study. He was known as anti-Semitic and anti Western world. But now Hamad Abdel-Samad wants to reform Islam as a culture. It is really worth to read the interview . I just recommend it.
