If they had been aware of the official teaching of the
Roman Catholic
Church, they should not have been offended.
The RC Catechism says:
"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'."

That teaching was proclaimed during the Vatican II
Council in the 1960s after the bishops present accepted it by a vote of 2,151 for and only 5
against. That's as strong as the votes in early times
that proclaimed the doctrines of Christ's divinity and the Trinity.
That same Council also declared the following:
"The Church regards with respect the Muslims, who
worship the One, Living, Subsistent, Merciful, Almighty God who created
the heavens and the earth, who spoke to men. They strive to submit
wholeheartedly to
God's commandments...even as Abraham submitted himself
to God, whose obedience is often recalled in the Islamic religion.
Although they do not recognize Jesus as God, they do venerate him as a prophet and they
honour his virgin mother, Mary.... They await the Day
of Judgment, when God will reward all those risen from the dead. They
hold in high regard the moral life and worship God,particularly by
prayer, charity and
fasting."
