She was then challenged to produce any reference to Islam or Muslims in the Catholic Catechism. It was there and, not only that, her claim that the Catholic Church was more accepting of Muslims than Protestants is easily seen by what it actually says. She did NOT say the Catechism speaks about Protestants as they do Islam.

It is NOT there. I know very well what it says. It in no way intimates or claims or refers to the acceptance of Islam over Protestantism. If you think it's there, prove it. Let's have it - produce the paragraphs or back away. I will not produce the evidence if only for the fact that it is not there.

841 The Church’s relationship with the Muslims. “The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day.”

Can you show me where the Catechism is as gracious and inclusive towards Protestants? Can you show me where the Catechism accepts that Protestants worship, adore and profess to hold faith in the same God as they?

Lastly, do you accept that the Muslim god, Allah, is the same God that revealed himself to Abraham, that was worshiped by the Jews and that we Christians believe is the one, true, only God and Creator?
