At least recognize that Jesus is God. Than believe and follow the teaching.

Muslim don't even believe that Jesus is God, and the teaching of Quran is different from the bible. How catholic said Muslim adore God of Abraham?
Did Christ say that they must believe He is God?

Ok. Then what does "worshipping God" mean?
Good question. It means to adore Him, love Him, acknowledge Him as the Creator of the world, serve Him, obey His commandments, praise Him, trust Him, be in relation with Him, put all your faith and hope in Him etc.

So... To worship God means to glorify God in all you do?
We were created to glorify God so by glorifying God in all we do we are essentially worshiping Him in all we do. God deserves all the glory so yep. :)

Did Christ say that they must believe He is God?
Christ said and did things which in the Jewish mind only YHWH could do. So, although, He did not say straightly "you must believe I am God", He did imply constantly that by receiving Him, you receive YHWH and by rejecting Him you reject YHWH, because Jesus is the Word of YHWH.

John 1:1 "in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God".

Yes the Bible states Jesus is God.

Do yo think that people on this forum are ignorant?


John
14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

His posts regarding the relationship between Catholicism and Islam
Just so you know, brother, we Catholics believe that the Muslims worship a distorted image of the one true God.

When Muslims say they will worship "Allah", they mean "The God of Abraham", who is the centerpiece of their religion. Even Christians who are of Arabic descent call God "Allah" when speaking in their native tongue.

Brother, you have to consider this.

If Allah is God, why they not teach in the Quran that Jesus is God?

They say that He is, but He is not the way they describe Him to be. Their description of Allah does not match the description of the God we know in the Bible.

It's crystal clear that Allah is not God in the bible.

I don't understand Catholic that profess to believe in the teaching of apostle Peter, said that Allah is God in the bible.

In my opinion it is conform that Catholic don't believe in the bible.

The bible says the you are gods too!
No, it does not.

It calls judges "gods." The judges stood in the place of God in rendering decisions. The Ye in Ye Are gods doesn't refer to the readers of this forum nor to men in general.

IMHO, the Qu'ran and Islam are a satanic masterpiece of evil.
Who inspired the Qu'ran? I'm not interested in Hollywood ideas of "satan". Who inspired it? Allah? Men? Who? People here seem to believe that God has some form of competition in heaven, so I'm just wondering.

Demons & satan are in the Bible. And I think you can make the case that the Bible considers wherever there is an idol, there is a demon behind it.

I don't understand Catholic that profess to believe in the teaching of apostle Peter, said that Allah is God in the bible.
That is probably from the POV that Allah is just the Arabic name for God, possibly equivalent to Yahweh in Hebrew. I do not agree with that POV.

I think you are speaking of papists, not catholics.
