No, he’s just sucking up to Islam. He’s perfectly fine with insulting Christianity.
That said, what people don’t get clear is the fact that it is fine to respond to an insult - but you have to do it within the law and within moral standards. Killing somebody who you feel has “insulted” your beliefs is not okay; in fact, the Pope should consider other ways of dealing with somebody who insults his mother. Punching them is not okay.
