Pope Benedict XVI was Monday expected to explain his controversial remarks on Prophet Mohammed to Muslim ambassadors in a meeting designed to defuse a row between the Church and the Islamic world. Delegations from Iraq, Pakistan, Algeria, Indonesia, Iran and 15 other countries have announced plans to attend the meeting, which is taking place at the pope's summer residence of Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome. Top officials from the Vatican as well as Italian Muslim religious leaders were also taking part. The meeting comes 13 days after a lecture at the German University of Regensburg in which Benedict quoted a 14th century Christian emperor as referring to elements of Islam as "evil and inhuman". The speech sparked angry reactions in the Islamic world, prompting the pope to issue an unprecedented apology.
