Vatican II treated Muslims respectfully as fellow Abrahamic monotheists

Evidence

Upon the Muslims, too, the Church looks with esteem. They adore one God, living and enduring, merciful and all-powerful, Maker of heaven and earth and Speaker to men. They strive to submit wholeheartedly even to His inscrutable decrees, just as did Abraham, with whom the Islamic faith is pleased to associate itself. Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere him as a prophet. They also honor Mary, His virgin mother; at times they call on her, too, with devotion. In addition they await the day of judgment when God will give each man his due after raising him up. Consequently, they prize the moral life, and give worship to God especially through prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. — John V. Tolan, Saracens, 80

Categorization

• XREF: The Nostra Aetate framing shows how recent the respectful Catholic posture is — a sharp contrast against which the medieval hostility this book documents reads as the default for centuries.
• QUESTION: How carefully did Vatican II distinguish accurate Islamic teaching from earlier Latin polemical distortions like those of Peter the Venerable and others later in this book?
