Other than this article that is right before your eyes, where do you see Catholics embracing Islam

The Church teaches that Catholics and Muslims worship the same God, for one thing.

The Church teaches that Catholics and Muslims worship the same God, for one thing.

All Christians must teach this, or they do not worship the one true God. He is the God of Abraham as stated in the Bible. Mt 22:32 "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." Muslims worship the God of Abraham. The Church did not make this up in order to "get closer to" Islam.

This is the same God that revealed Himself to Moses. Do we not worship I AM? Mk 14:62 "And Jesus said, 'I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.'"

How do you not see Him as the same God? Please explain. - We all know, including the Church, that Muslims reject Jesus' divinity - but that doesn't take away the fact that all three major religions, including Islam, worship the God revealed as I AM.
