I don't think the "we're all slaves" part is an exaggeration, however. And I do think that this is how someone raised in the Christian tradition should perceive Islam.
If I were discussing this with a MUslim, I would of course omit the enslavement part, and leave it as Pope Benedict put it. Another point on which I disagree with Pope Benedict, by the way, is his "argument" that Islam is more violent than Christianity. Present events show the absurdity of that. Perhaps Christianity properly understood is inherently more peaceful than Islam, but how often do nations properly understand Christianity?
