Daniel Pipes on Benedict and Islam:

He’s commenting on Fr. Fessio’s recent interview with Hugh Hewitt in which Fessio reported on a discussion in which the Pope said that Islam is inherently incapable of adaptation because of its understanding of revelation. Pipes takes issue with that, and then, at the end, reprints a note from someone who was at the same discussion with Ratzinger, and disagrees with Fessio’s interpretation and memory of the event.
