I agree they don’t worship the God of Christians. But I’m saying the Vatican II statement is making only a narrow, very beginning statement that they believe in the God of Abraham, the God of the Jews, and stopping there. I don’t find it convincing that Lumen Gentium is in error with this statement. There are some that say they don’t even worship the God of Abraham and I confess I wonder at times if they actually do.

The God of Abraham was, is, and always will be the God of Christians.

The “god” of the muslims is not, was not, and never will be the True God.

Lumen Genitium is wrong.

...the Muslims, who, professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God,...

You and authors of Lumen Gentium may adore the one muslim "god"; but I don't and neither do most Catholics. And that muslim "god" is anything but merciful.
