The pope recently told Muslim youths that Muslims and Christians worship the same God. Will the pope continue to state this when he visits Muslim nations? And the Vatican has officially said that Muslims are going to heaven with Christians..... is it possible for Muslims to believe in the same God as Christians, but not believe in the diety of Christ?

No it is not possible.
Thomas doubted too. Did Jesus rebuke Thomas when he called Him God? Nosiree.
John 20:27-29
Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing." And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Muslims (unlike Christians) know that they worship the same God Jews & Christians worship, and that's why we call them people of the book. In fact, it's part of our belief as Muslims to have faith in all the prophets including Jesus & Moses peace be upon them, and to have faith in their scriptures, Gospel & Torah, in their original form (not after human alteration).
The conflicts and the fights that some Muslims declare on the west has nothing to do with the religion, it's political. If it's about religion and the verse of Quran that Christians think that it orders us to kill infidels, it'd make more sense to fight people of other faith other than Abrahamic religion since they are who we consider infidels. Why Muslims have no problem in Thiland where people worship idols?
I hope this answered part of your question.

that is like asking if the subsequent Mula could nicely be a jew. The pope is an elected workplace. The optimum CATHOLIC cardinals from each and every heavily catholic area take a seat in a council referred to as the Conclave. they're locked in jointly as they vote among themselves for the subsequent pope. they want vote casting many times back till one in all them gets a majority, that cardinal is the recent pope. to respond to your question, the cardinals could never opt for a pope.

As per Muslim faith,only those will go to Heaven who believe in one God, believe in all prophets with out discrimination and Muhammad is the last massenger, belive in all four religous books i.e Taurah, Zaboor, Injeel and Quran, believe in angels and believe in the day of judgement. As the christians do not believe in Muhammad and last book Quran, besides they consider Jesus as God, therefore, sharing with one God, so they will not go to Heaven

YES, they can believe that! The Pope needs to just shut his mouth and stop causing trouble. He FINALLY corrected his first ignorant statement, but he waited far too long. Maybe he should have thought about what he said long before he spewed his ignorance and intolerance. What he is doing now is political. He knows he needs to try to fix the mess he made.

declare a "holy" war on Islam and Muslims, but i think the Evangelical church would actually do that first.
matter of fact i'm afraid they already did.

I'm sure the next words out of his mouth will be more cryptic but express a deeper hatred of Islam.
