Original Note:
In 2006, during a lecture on religious tolerance, Benedict quoted a 1391 writing by Manuel II, in which Manuel referred to Islam as "evil." Benedict did not coin the phrase,clarified it did not represent his belief, and later expressed "deep regrets" it was misinterpreted. https://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/19/opinion/19iht-edblond.2861159.html http://www.theinterfaithobserver.org/journal-articles/2014/1/15/when-a-king-and-a-pope-sit-down-to-talk-religion.html https://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/speeches/2006/september/documents/hf_ben-xvi_spe_20060912_university-regensburg.html
