This pope is a realist and knows about the dangers of Islam. What he is calling in "God is love" is repentence and conversion of all to the true God of faith, hope, and love.

This is FR. That God is love crap is passe. Many here are absolutely itching for a nuclear armageddon. Like I mean, they really want it to happen! Don't ask me why.

Then why doesn't he just say so.
That is the problem with the Pope and Roman Catholicism.
They " really mean" something other than what they say. You and other Roman Catholics "know" what this verbiage really means.
Well, if he wants to be a Christian witness, perhaps he should shout There is no Allah. Islam is an evil death cult. Truth must stand against it. But instead he says incoherent things like"..the implementation of commitments assumed..." There is no language anything like this in the Gospel. None. It is a bizarre construct.
Language is for communication. It can be misused to obscure, mitigate and minimize. The effect that this "teaching" will have can only be as clear as it is.
