Pope Benedict in Turkey

Pope Benedict XVI is in Turkey to try to patch relations between him and the Muslim community, especially following his controversial remarks in September which triggered an unfortunate but all-too-predictable reaction from radical Muslims.

Turkey appears to be playing nice so far. Will the majority of non-violent and non-extremist Muslims get Benedict's message of peace and reconciliation and try to spread it across their own communities, or will the extremists win out as has always been the case? The onus is on the "moderate Muslims" to put pressure on the radical factions of their faith.
