Were the Pope's remarks 'anti-Islamic'?

Maybe if the leaders of the Muslim community had donated as much Gold to the Vatican as the Nazi Party did during the forties, then the Pope may have been nicer about Islam. How could we expect the Pope to show any tolerance for something that he cannot profit from. It would break all the traditions of the Catholic Church. It was only when the gold started drying up that the Vatican belatedly bestowed human rights upon the inhabitants of the 'New World'.
