When they allow Christians to build churches in UAE

Read the story. St Andrews is near by.

Some Muslims think that Catholics worship Mary, just as some Protestants think. And the fact is that a few Catholics do worship Mary. But that is not the Catholic theology.

It seems that Catholics ask Mary to pray for them in the same way that anyone would ask any other believer to pray for them. But Mary is the Mother of Jesus. Jesus obeys the Ten Commandments. So Jesus honors both his father and his mother. That means Jesus listens to his mother, Mary. Jesus listens to Mary in a way he does not listen to the rest of us humans. Muslims don't believe in the Trinity. They don't understand the Trinity. So they have problems with Catholics "praying to Mary". But Muslims do think Mary was a good, Godly person. Their problem isn't with Mary. it is with the way Catholics act about her.

Don’t say things you know nothing about. No Catholic worships Mary, as she is not a Person in the Blessed Trinity.

Mark 3:31-35 and Matthew 12:46-50 imply otherwise. Jesus ignored Mary and His siblings and left them standing outside while He attended to His followers.
