So the Pope thinks that the bible is adaptable and thus can (and must) be changed to mean whatever we want it to mean

That's not remotely close to what he means. He means that the Bible was given through humans to a human community to understand and apply to their situation, and to situations not directly described in the Bible.

but the Koran is a direct unchanging word from God even though it came through Mohammed.

Orthodox Muslims apparently don't believe that. They believe that the Koran prexisted all things in the mind of God, and was dictated to Mohammed by an angel, word-for-word. Mohammend simply acted as a scribe.

And we believe the word prexisted all things because it is God

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
