The Catholic Church official position is that the Muslim’s serve the same god as they do. They both justify killing people they consider heretics, thus my question to you about them serving the same god. Maybe you didn’t realize that the Catholic Church says they serve the same god.
No, I didn’t realize it.
The Christian God and the Muslim god are in no way the same; that’s easily proven by Scripture. Which is why a Catholics should sternly condemn any of their number who celebrates murder and praises God for it.

Catherine, what CB is doing is wrong. I cannot label it properly because my post would be deleted. What CB is alluding to is the fact that Christians, Muslims, AND JEWS, all claim to follow the God of Abraham. The Catechism says this:
“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.”********330
In other words, the Catechism recognizes that Christians, Jews AND MUSLIMS, all PROFESS to believe and follow the God of Abraham.
The reason why I think CB is being [I’m not allowed to say it here or else my post will be deleted] here is that she excludes Jews and focuses only on Muslims - and links them (alone) to Catholics. Jews, however, killed those whom they believed to be heretics, blasphemers, etc. Again, see Exodus 32. And wasn’t Jesus supposedly condemned for blasphemy? Yet, CB’s religious [can’t say it; post would be deleted] won’t [can’t say it; post will get deleted] her to lump together Jews and Muslims when she is attacking Catholics. She probably would do it if she were talking about Pharisees, however.
And what about the fact that Protestants sometimes killed those they condemned as heretics? CB skips right over those cases, of course.
