Regensburg Redux

Back in Sept '06, I commented (positively) on Pope Benedict's Regensburg address on Islam and the post-modern world, The Post-Modern Meets Violence, violence of the Islamic terrorist. He asserted that irrational violence, as practiced by certain elements of Islam, "is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of the (human) soul."
Well, Father Jonathan Morris, FOX News religion guy, has a follow up on the implications of the Pope's Regensburg address, Bin Laden is Right: Pope Benedict is Leading a Crusade. He observes,
Benedict’s crusade can be likened to a quiet pilgrimage in the pursuit of rescuing human reason from the clutches of fundamentalism. It aims to restore reason as the great cultural meeting point for people of every race and creed.

This crusade has a better air about it than the earlier ones.
