This Christian church was proclaiming a curse upon themselves. It was a silly act to allow Islamic prayers in God's House! If you are invoking other false gods instead of Yahweh, you're basically invoking demons. This church was invoking demons and their curses along with it. It will fall in no time!

Sir I don't mean to offend you ok?
But I think you need to do a research in Islamic Country (what are they doing to Christians) before you answer.

+Ronald Delos Santos Ron, no offense taken, I live and work in the heart of Islam, in Saudi Arabia, I travel extensively to Bahrain,Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Egypt & Syria before the civil war, I have prayed at a Church in every country other than Saudi, I have seen Mosques next to Churches in Aleppo & Cairo, I have visited Mosques in Turkey and Cairo, walked inside, sat with people and talked about Christ.
I was amazed with what the Holy Qur'an says about Christ and Mary, as a matter of fact, a whole chapter is written about Mary in the most beautiful way, same about the Tribe of Omran, Mary's Tribe.
I strongly suggest that you read both chapters so you can make a better judgement after that.

(For my safety) I can't tell you where am I right now, I am here as a contract worker, since 2006 to this very day/hour., Please believe me, for I am speaking by experience, that it is dangerous here to speak the word Bible or Lord Jesus:or sing praises and even our home Bible study here is done underground, because when we got caught, we will be in big trouble. (our faith is always on the line every meetings)

I believe that you are trying to be diplomatic between the 2 religion (same view as in "Chrislam" religion, and that is a kind act of yours. So in the name of love, I won't go far in your belief.

If you have a facebook account, please add me in your friend lists. Thank you Ned

+gar fald I see one idiot here Gar, and that is you.
I suggest that you trap a copy of the Quoran and read what Muslim says about Jesus Christ, just educate yourself you moron.
People like you are ignorants at best, I have never read in a book about Christ as I have read in the Muslim Quoran, get a life, go and read.

I have to admit, every time I visited a church it felt cold inside but hearing this young boy in that type of space has definitely wormed it up.
The Roman sculpture behind him must be saying "bellismo"

Some of you guys call yourself Christians? Your Christian by name and not etiquette. The people of the book are peaceful and respectable who have lived peacefully with Muslims in Israel since it's invasion. The problem is not with Muslims it's with venom like yourselves. Live at let live.

One of the elementary rules, enunciated in the Prophet's last sermon, is that non muslims are no longer allowed in the land of Hijaz, including Meccah and Medina. But you are suggesting that it is ok to let a non muslim inside the Kaabah .. which allows me to assert that .. you don't know islam.
So thanks God the keys for the Kaaba's gate are not in your hands.


mustno3
mustno32
what you have missed is that I am a muslim .. and just as I will not accept Church bells in a mosque .. Christians should also not accept athan in their churches .. minimum rule for mutual respect

mustno3
mustno32
Now what does this comment have with your previous one??
What part of "discussion" is an athan in the middle of a Church? or Church bells in Mecca? Since when in order to have am inter-faith "discussion" a Christian needs to hear the athan in his Church?

Com'on bro, let us be rational here. Tolerance and discussion are one thing, and conceding your place of worship just for the sake of having a discussion .. is another thing.

Question:
Are Muslims permitted to lie?



Answer:
Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences."

There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.




Solar Wind
Solar Wind2
The context of violent passages is more ambiguous than might be expected of a perfect book from a loving God, however this can work both ways. Most of today's Muslims exercise a personal choice to interpret their holy book's call to arms according to their own moral preconceptions about justifiable violence. Apologists cater to their preferences with tenuous arguments that gloss over historical fact and generally do not stand up to scrutiny.


Solar Wind
Solar Wind2
Unlike nearly all of the Old Testament verses of violence, the verses of violence in the Quran are mostly open-ended, meaning that they are not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding text. They are part of the eternal, unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subjective as anything else in the Quran.

Solar Wind
Solar Wind2
The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.




Solar Wind
Solar Wind2
Islam is of the devil..nuff said. Your religion has spent 1400 years persecuting all others. Thousands of battles have been fought all over Europe, Asia and Africa (us defending against you). A few times we went on the offensive to try to reclaim land.


mustno3
mustno32
What?!!! are you serious??
Your rant about the Saudi regime is politics .. and I, just like you, am not big fan of the Saudi regime. But my comment is about islam, not politics. And in islam mosques are for islam alone, and churches should also be for christianity alone. Otherwise why two religions .. let's make them one .. e.g. chrislam (google it).
There is a big difference between tolerance towards other monotheistic religions .. and mixing them!


mustno3
mustno32
Then please .. if you are a muslim .. go ahead and tolerate church bells in Mecca.

Pope Francis meets Patriarch Kirill in Cuba

Despite famine, religious wars, worldwide conflict and the spread of civilization, the heads of the Roman Catholic and the Russian Orthodox churches haven't spoken since the Great Schism of 1054 shattered Christendom, so they had a lot of catching up to do when they sat down for their historic meeting Friday afternoon in Cuba.

Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill embraced and kissed one another three times on the cheek as they met in the wood-paneled VIP room at Havana's José Martí International Airport. The two church leaders then proceeded to a pair of straight-backed chairs turned at angles.

After another round of handshakes for the cameras and greetings with members of their entourages, the two men sat and began talking. Clasping their hands in their laps, both occasionally gestured and nodded as they spoke. They held a two-hour "personal conversation" and then signed a joint declaration.

"We are brothers," Francis said as he embraced Kirill in the small, wood-paneled VIP room of Havana's airport, where the three-hour encounter took place.

"Now things are easier," Kirill agreed as he and the pope exchanged three kisses on the cheek. "This is the will of God," the pope said.

In the 30-point statement, the two leaders declared themselves ready to take all necessary measures to overcome their historical differences, saying "we are not competitors, but brothers."

Francis and Kirill also called for political leaders to act on the single most important issue of shared concern between the Catholic and Orthodox churches today: the plight of Christians in Iraq and Syria who are being killed and driven from their homes by the Islamic State group.

"In many countries of the Middle East and North Africa, entire families of our brothers and sisters in Christ are being exterminated, entire villages and cities," the declaration said.

The split between the two churches nearly 1,000 years ago has festered over issues such as the primacy of the pope and accusations by the Russian Orthodox Church that the Catholic Church tries to poach converts in Russia.

No pope has ever visited Russia. En route to the historic visit Friday, journalists asked Francis if a visit to the nation is on his papal bucket list. “China and Russia, I have them here,” Francis said, pointing to his heart. “Pray.”

Few people expect Friday's meeting — which took two years of secret planning to pull off — will wipe away centuries of distrust and suspicion in a few hours, but it will be a groundbreaking step toward Catholic-Orthodox relations.

In announcing the visit last week, both sides issued a statement saying it “will mark an important stage in relations between the two churches."

Ecclesiastical and theological disputes, including issues such as the communion wafer and papal supremacy led to a break between the Greek East and Latin West, giving rise to two separate churches — Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic — after 1054.

Starting in the 15th century, the Russian Orthodox Church became an increasingly independent church that remains in communion with the Eastern Orthodox but does not report to it.

The Catholic Church claims 1.2 billion faithful worldwide. About two-thirds of the world’s Orthodox Christians belong to the Russian Orthodox Church, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said. About 75% of Russia’s 144 million citizens call themselves Russian Orthodox, according to the latest polls, although only a fraction say they are observant.

One important issue drawing the two churches closer is the rise of Christian persecution in the Middle East and Africa. Metropolitan Illarion, foreign policy chief of the Russian Orthodox Church, said recently that the treatment of Christians by extremists in the Middle East, in northern and central Africa and in other regions requires "immediate action."

“In this tragic situation, we need to put aside internal disagreements and pool efforts to save Christianity in the regions where it is subject to most severe persecution,” Illarion said.

Another factor changing the landscape is the rise of Russia on the world stage, and the growing influence of the Russian Orthodox Church in the country under President Vladimir Putin and since the fall of the Soviet Union and collapse of communist rule.

"To have the Roman pope, with his internationally recognized authority, not as a critic but as an ally or at least simply as a neutrally silent figure, is highly attractive to Putin and his associates," said Yury Avvakumov, assistant professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame.

"The Moscow Patriarchate has always been an instrument of Russian international policy. Today, the Moscow Patriarchate, with its established international ties, remains an effective transmitter worldwide of the political interests of the Russian rulers."

Under Francis, the Vatican has encouraged continuing ecumenical ties with the Orthodox as well as other Christian denominations. In November 2014, Francis said he told Kirill: “I’ll go wherever you want. You call me and I’ll go.”

The Vatican has been especially solicitous to Russia, especially in largely sidestepping criticism of Moscow's role in the Ukraine conflict.

The issue is particularly knotty for the Catholic Church, as it touches on the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, the country’s second-largest, which follows eastern church rites but answers to the Holy See. The Russian Orthodox Church has considered western Ukraine its traditional territory and has resented papal influence there.

Cardinal Kurt Koch, the head of the Vatican office that deals with Orthodox relations, said the Ukrainian church will certainly come up in the two-hour private talk between Francis and Kirill, the Associated Press reported. “It would be impossible to meet without discussing such issues,” he told Vatican Radio. But he said the future significance of the meeting could not be overstated.

“It will certainly forge relations within Orthodoxy: We still don’t have contact with a lot of Orthodox patriarchs, and this meeting could help develop intra-Orthodox relations,” he said. “Improved understanding between Rome and Moscow will certainly have positive effects on the theological dialogue.”

For his part, Kirill, since taking the helm in 2009, has overseen closer ties between the church and Kremlin that critics dismiss as the de facto merging of the state and the church. Putin has openly courted the church, noting his mother baptized him in secret as a child, even allegedly keeping it from his father, a low-level Communist party member at the workshop level.

In a 2013 documentary, Putin said the baptism "affected me personally and our family." He has described the church as a vehicle for uniting the Russian people.

"In this sense, the meaning of the church goes beyond the boundaries of the Russian Federation, it helps us to establish good relations with the peoples of other countries, and especially the post-Soviet space, and, of course, the church is performing a very constructive, positive role here," Putin added.

The patriarch, who arrived in Cuba on a formal visit Thursday, also met with Cuban President Raul Castro on Friday. It was the fourth meeting between the pair, according to the Russian state-owned Tass news agency. Alexander Volkov, the patriarch’s spokesman, said relations between the two men has been "long and good."

Castro also greeted the Pope Friday on the tarmac at the airport.
