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.

Well, Jesus is the Logos. I think rationality is at the heart of devotion to God and serving others. Islam is a dead duck. If the Pope was saying that there is something we can learn from Islam I profoundly disagree with him.

Islam is an evil fascist cult. That some Muslims are nice people is neither here nor there.
