From the catechism: The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator

The "also" indicates that a previous, elevated group was discussed earlier. Muslims are the first runner up to the Jews, as it were.

What about the other points - what about the fact that this teaching says that Muslims worship the same God? Did you read all of my post? In case you missed it, I said:

Does it not say the adore the one, merciful God? It is extremely evident that they do NOT adore nor serve the God of Abraham. Are you saying that they do? How do you say that considering the Koran? How can you say that considering all that Mohammed did and was? How can anyone who loves the true God say that they love and serve the same God? Now, if it had said Arabs instead of Muslims, that would cause me to squinch up my nose and lift my eyebrows a tad, but it VERY CLEARLY says Muslims, who are those who adhere to Islam. And the God of Islam is not the God of Abraham!

Does it not say clearly and again that Muslims hold to the faith of Abraham. Context cannot change these very plain statements. I can see where some could argue about the firstplace thing and Jews, but not these last two statements that border on blapsheme because they try to make the Almighty God the ugly god of Islam. He plainly is not.

So, do you agree with these statements or not - do you agree that Muslims worship and serve the same God as true Christians?

Sure. After the Catholics.
