'Deep Respect' for Islam?

Pope Benedict XVI said Wednesday (article) that he has "deep respect" for Islam, but can a true Christian truly have respect for a pagan religion? How does one respect a teaching that damn's people to hell? The Pope also said quote "I hope that in several occasions during the visit ... my deep respect for great religions, in particular for Muslims - who worship the one God and with whom we are engaged in defending and promoting together social justice, moral values, peace and freedom for all men - has emerged clearly,". It's quite clear that the Pope doesn't worship the God of the Bible because he is confused about who God is, if he believes that the Muslims worship the one true God then he does not know who the God of the Bible is, the only thing that has truly emerged is what the Pope doesn't believe! Also notice that he did not say that the Muslims and himself were concerned with promoting the TRUTH, but with social justice, morals and peace which is something that extreme Muslims don't seek at all. True Christianity can never have "deep respect" for any false religion nor does Ture Christianity embrace a view of God that contradict's the God of the Bible. Some would say that this view is unloving but the truth is that nothing is more loving than the truth! Jesus is truth.
