Information about Islam
One of the great things about the Web is that it enables us to look into different points of view using the information provided by those who genuinely believe, rather than second-hand interpretations. We know of the many good Catholic sites on the Internet. However at the present time, many thinking Catholics will also wish to understand Islam from the point of view of Muslims themselves. The Web abounds with such information and a few introductory sites are listed here:

www.alislam.org/books/study-of-islam/intro.html
www.islam101.com/dawah/IslamBrief.html
Papal Statements about Islam
From the point of view of Catholic-Islamic relations, the US Bishops' Conference has a small collection of useful quotations from various statements. Unfortunately, there are no links to the full texts. However, the page may be of topical use.
