Extremism is certinatly not limited to Islam.
I think it would be very refreshing if we could see a meaningful dialouge between the world's religions. But, I don't think the Pope's speech was the way to get such a dialouge started.

Yes, yes we all know ALL Muslims are not extremists. But when you have many countries teaching extremist views of Islam (Saudia Arabia, Iran, Pakistan) the burden falls on them to prove that they are actually peaceful. With all the violent reactions they have, it's hard to believe anything else.
