Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Turkey today for his first visit to the Muslim country. The Pope hopes that his visit will calm the tensions between the Muslim and Orthodox Christians. His arrival in Turkey stems from the speech he gave earlier this year about the Muslim religion being "evil and inhuman". The Pope later apologized for his remarks and according to Fox News, "The Vatican said the speech was an attempt to highlight the incompatibility of faith and violence, and Benedict later expressed regret for the violent Muslim backlash."
