So you agree with the Catechism that the Allah that the Muslims worship is the same God that the Roman Catholics worship?

You are aware that there is only one God, correct?

Or do you believe that the universe was created by more than one Creator?

That must make the Koran part of Sacred Tradition now, right?

That's a bizarre excuse for logic.

The Koran is a faked document written by a non-Christian that explicitly contradicts the truths of Christianity on nearly every page.

It can no more be part of the traditions St. Paul and the other Apostles handed on to us than the Aeneid could.

The Koran happens to contain a few scraps of fact - that there is one God, that He created everything, that Abraham was a real person to whom God made His plans known, that there are angels, and some other bits of information that Jews and Christians were already well aware of.

But these truths cribbed from actual Scriptures don't give the Koran any inherent value.

Was that Creator's name "YHWH or Jehovah" [the God of Israel] or "Allah" [the God of Mohammed]?

Perhaps they just added some 'Sacred Tradition' that would seem to legitimize their religion...
