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.

A major point of the Gospel of John is that you cannot worship the Father without worshipping the Son:
John 5:22-23 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

Muzlims don't know the difference between God and Satan...Their god resides in a black moon rock in Mecca...Their god hates Jews...
You say they mis-understand God...I say they don't know God...
I realize you folks don't believe in the Great Tribulation, but when their god shows up to sit on the throne during the Tribulation, they will fall down and worship him...And the muzlims are expecting him to show up, soon...
When God (Jesus) does show up again, the muzlims will reject Him just as they do now...
Our God of Abraham is not their god of Abraham...They're not going to like our God very much when they meet Him...
