Where the name "Catholic" comes from...
TraceOneInfinite:
I am stating historical fact here.
The name Catholic was around before Jesus and it was the name of a popular religion in Rome. After the popularity of Jesus had reached Europe and became prevelant amongst the people, Constantine decided at the Council of Nicea that they would co-opt Jesus into their religion, and still keep the same name. This, by the way, was about 300 years after Jesus died.

muhammad didn't claim to be starting a new religion. muhammad stated that islam was the original religion and that his predecessors were also muslims.
