Pope Benedict XVI said that Catholics and Muslims worship the same God. This is in keeping with Vatican II, and with the sacred writings of both religions. They both begin with Abraham following the instructions of his God.

The same God worshipped by Jews, Muslims, and all other areas of Christianity
Both pray for the same God the Creator and asking for His support and help and forgiveness.
Yes, the Pope is considered by Catholics to be the representative of God on earth.
Muslim believe in monotheism (one and only one God. Catholics believe in monotheism as well, but believe that there are three Persons in that One God. (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).Muslims believe in Muhammad as God prophet and messenger. Catholics don't believe in Muhammad prophecy.Muslims believe that Jesus is one of God greatest prophets but is not God or son of God. Catholics believe that Jesus is God, the Son of God.Muslims believe in the Bible, Christians holy book, as God holy book. Catholics don't believe in Quran, Muslims holy book, as God holy book.
The pope communicates the will of God. He is God's highest servant among mankind. According to Catholics, at least.
Catholics believe in a Trinitarian God, One God but Three Persons. The Muslims believe in One God and One Person. To them, Jesus is not God and the Holy Spirit does not exist.
God, and the Pope is responsible for tending to God's Church on Earth.
They are both religions. They believe in a different God. No, they believe in the same God but do not consider him as having three distinct persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus is considered as only a prophet by the Muslims and not the Son of God.
The difference between Muslims and Roman Catholics is that the Muslims pray to Allah and read the Quran. They believe if the submit their whole lives to Allah, they will experience true freedom. Roman Catholics pray to God and read the Holy Bible. Catholics believe the New Testament is the word of God.
Sure we pray for the Pope. He is the Head of God's Church and the Holy Father of the catholic people.
Catholics have never had to seek the permission of the pope to pray to God the Father, Son or Holy Spirit. Nor do they need permission from the pope to pray to the saints for intercession.
Actually there are more similarities among catholics and Muslims that one could think of. I would like to point out some: 1. Allah (God) Most people think Allah is a completely different God from the one that catholics believe in. But it is the same God, just the name "Allah" is the Arabic word for "God" in English as it is "Dios" in spanish. 2. Jesus and the Virgin Mary Muslims do believe in Jesus and in the Virgin Mary, the only difference is that for Muslims Jesus is not Gods son (God cannot be related with any human), he is a prophet. 3. Makkah and The Holy See These are places where most of the members of these two religions attend with spiritual means. I could mention many more, but to finish there is one, probably the most important one: We Muslims believe in One God as the catholics do.
