The Pope's address was categorically not about Islam.

It's purpose was to address the divorce of theology from the university environment, and his belief that those two "cultures" had to engage in dialogue.

In fact, he was supporting the belief and feelings of Islam that the "Western culture" of "rationalism" is unfairly dismissing it from the discussion of reality by its (rationalism's) very nature.
