According to the Vatican statement, the Pope was discussing the relationship of violence to religion during a very long speech. As part of that speech he gave the example of the words of a Turkish(?) leader from the 13th century who was under seige from Muslim armies at the time.
He went on to soundly condemn violence in the name of religion, but allegedly did not mean to single out Islam.

Ignorance is bliss, sometimes not knowing what is
going on - you, may be better off. The pope made
a statement quoted from a 13th document and made
the Islamic extremist mad - churches are burned,
a threat of holy war on the west (meaning us) and a
nun already killed. But, alot of these people seem to
think he did not apologize, when in fact he did 2 days ago,
he is upset over the violence it caused.

The pope quoted some 13th century document and said that islam demands that everyone in the world will either be forced into islam by the sword or be killed by the sword.
To make their point the Islamofascists went and killed an innocent Italian nun!

Yes he did, and you weren't, and so you don't.
The story is still unravelling...
