Washington Cathedral’s first Muslim prayer service interrupted by heckler

In a corner of Washington National Cathedral, several hundred Muslim worshipers and other invited guests gathered Friday afternoon for a first-ever recitation of weekly Muslim prayers at the iconic Christian sanctuary and to hear leaders of both faiths call for religious unity in the face of extremist violence and hate.

The Arabic call to prayer echoed among the vaulted stone arches and faded away, followed by an impassioned sermon from Ebrahim Rasool, a Muslim scholar who is South Africa’s ambassador to the United States. Rasool called on Muslims, Christians and others to come together and make “common cause” in the fight against extremists who appropriate Islam.

“We come to this cathedral with sensitivity and humility but keenly aware that it is not a time for platitudes, because mischief is threatening the world,” Rasool said. “The challenge for us today is to reconstitute a middle ground of good people . . . whose very existence threatens extremism.”

Why are Muslims praying at a church? They have mosques. No?

Episcopal Church is very liberal like many Mainline Protestant and Unitarians. Religion and politics are not always related.

Yes, yes they do. But since you have defiled Allah's name, goat shit be upon him, OF WITH YOUR HEAD.


And on a serious note, the Mooseslimes continue the "Religion of pieces' mantra.

Complete and utter bullshit.
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Screw the muslims and to hell with the Episcopal church. Given their actions over the years they could hardly be called followers of Christ.

I just saw this article. Thanks for posting it.

The religion of piece has added another piece of real estate to their caliphate.

If I had a sock puppet on this forum his name would be ROPER(Religion Of Piece...er).
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

The Episcopal Church has been an apostate church for a number of years. They no longer follow the word of God be instead have listened and responded to the voice of demons and anti-christs instead.

This action does not surprise me.

Paul said that the light has nothing in common with the dark, so for the Episcopal Church to find commonalities with Islam speaks volumes for the state of the Episcopal Church.
