Still Running Off at the Keyboard

COLOGNE, Germany (AP) - Pope Benedict XVI has been cautious about making any links between Islam and terror strikes during his four-month papacy, but he chose his first major address to Muslim leaders to issue a stern warning that terrorism risks exposing the world "to the darkness of a new barbarism."

The 78-year-old pontiff urged Muslims to join Christians in trying to combat the spread of terrorism and said Muslim leaders had a "great responsibility" to properly educate younger generations.
