    It's ' too bad ' that of all the christian churches in the world only one invited moslims in. That's the ' half empty ' view that you're so keen on pushing.

    If a muslim enters a church without "an Invitation", What will happen ??? Nada.
    Christianity welcomes All.
    Most of All this thread is pure nonsense.

    A moronic generalisation.

    It's actually quite productive. I can appreciate how some would view progress as nonsense, though. Flat-Earthers, Creationists, Rapturists and such.

    Muslims see Jesus as a prophet, and Mohamed as the last prophet, therefore they believe his teachings supercede the teachings of Jesus. Since Islam is also a political force, it means that Islam must supercede Christianity politically as well. With the advent of Jesus, we were given a more complete vision of God than what was known to the Jews. Mohamed added nothing to that vision, but rather went backwards to the less complete vision of the Jews, and then added some things of his own.

    In the sacramental Churches, our 'glorified' saints are considered equal to the prophets of the Old Testament. Because they pray incessantly, they are able through God's Grace to achieve a high level of spiritual perfection. Their carnel existance ceases to be, and God allows many of them to enter another spiritual world while still alive. Mohamed in contrast to our Saints/Prophets was purely carnal, and even worse, he made his earthly desires and lusts a part of the Islamic heaven.

    When Mohamed took his own Arabic customs and values and made them part of the Islamic faith, he made that which he was raised with superior to the customs and values of everyone else. He then stamped it with Allah's approval so that his own 'perfection' had to be imposed onto the rest of the world. This is cultural 'elitism', and it consists of arrogance and pride, which would be the antithesis of Christianity. By saying this I don't mean that many Christians and their sects haven't been elitists, only that it contrasts sharply to the spiritual perfection required of Christians. :angel: .

    A common trait is shown in this thread. Any good news between Muslims and Christians results in negative views coming from the "Christian" side posters and no negative views coming from the "Muslim" side posters.

    Geez. I don't see anything so strange about the church allowing Muslims who have not much more than a hut next door to pray in their church. It is good neighborliness and something to be expected of people of good will.....but now look at this. The church has been inundated with hate messages from 'Christians' on Facebook

    I'll share with you a comment from my girlfriend earlier, when I was discussing this story and the fact that a few Christians had objected - she said, 'Why? It's not they'll be sucking up all of their God so there's none left for them to pray to'. Seemed a reasonable observation to me!

    Alexa, I just read in a foreign site that eighty one thousand Christians have been ethnically cleansed from Syria. Many civilians have been killed and their churches have been burned. This is not something one reads in our Western media so as not to arouse hatred against Muslims, yet from the burned churches, and the many Christians killed, isn't it obvious that someone is arousing hatred against Christians in Syria? Do you blame then the animosity many feel towards Muslims in Europe? :confuse:

    I am afraid to me it just made me feel they were hypocrites.

    The Minister said
    Now he seems like a Christian - or similar practicing love and good will. No point in saying it, if it is not practiced;)

    Sorry Jeanette, I did not see this last night



    Jeanette, it is not just Christians, it is other Muslims who they do not agree with as well.




    It is obvious that extremists have hate against everyone except extremists.
    I think it is intellectually wrong to blame all Muslims for the actions of extremists. Actions which Muslims themselves have paid a very high price for.

    I think it is unchristian to bring hate for something which is happening by someone else towards someone else, into the social life of another country. I told my daughter what the Minister had done. Neither of us is Christians but the first thing she said was 'Oh how Christian of him', using this time Christian as a compliment.

    We can create goodwill in our own communities by our own actions. We are all responsible for what we allow to enter our hearts and we are all responsible for how we treat others.

    'Hatred brings nothing but hatred, love alone can heal.' Joseph Chiltern Pearce at a mass meditation meeting in Cambodia when people were grieving those they had lost.

    How many stories about Muslims opening their doors to Christians have you read?
    Muslims think these Christians are weak and inferior otherwise they would've never allowed the greater religion of Islam in their doors.

    I'm sorry Moon, but as a rule, muslims need no invitation. They walk in and they close the church. Or demolish it. Or bomb it. There are exceptions to this, of course.

    To be fair, muslims demolish or bomb mosques just as often as they demolish or bomb churches... not very discriminate, aren't they? :)

    Frankly, I no longer get much of a zip out of you shooting yourself through the feet :mrgreen: Familiarity breeds contempt.

    Here, Dresden. Moslems may be blamed for destroying a mosque here and there. Your 'christian ' boyos blow up all their own churches in one go.

    This is the first for either religion in the UK

    [video=youtube;YaVOsp-9e1c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaVOsp-9e1c[/video]

    who are you to say what these people think? You can see above what they really think. These people have what you are not showing, care and respect. It is sad that people find goodwill upsets them so much. Anyway sounds like they are hoping it might catch on ;)

    Uhm... is this the best you can do, Moon? Posting a picture of a Dresden Cathedral next to some ammunition factory, bombed by allies in time of war from 30,000 feet and comparing it with some church, destroyed by the enraged fanatics crowd for no reason?

    War is hell, Moon, especially when you're on the ground, looking up at these B-17th. Are you now accusing allies of intentionally bombing German civilians? And their Cathedrals? :)

    Didn't they just, but my point was to illustrate christians bombing christians - on a scale so much vaster than the piddling 'moslem' events you chose to drool over .

    You're being dishonest, Moon - Allies bombed a mortal enemy in time of war. Are Muslims at war with Christians?

    You know full well who is being dishonest. You crapped in a decent thread by suggesting that moslems indiscriminately bomb moslems in your warped perception of Islam. In fact, as a few photographs demonstrate, christians slaughter christians on a scale which sickens everybody, moslems included. Your characteristic racist diversion is done.
