Premier reported Saturday that “the Diocese of Oxford is defending its invitation to a Muslim scholar to preach at a eucharist service.”
“Inter faith champion Monawar Hussain” is set to speak after the service at St Mary’s Anglican church, although “the original advert suggested he would deliver the sermon during the service.”
How wonderful and broad-minded! When is the mosque going to feature a Christian priest delivering the Friday khutba?
Adrian Hilton of the Archbishop Cranmer blog said: “He will no doubt be preaching about love, peace, reconciliation and tolerance, all of which would be laudable topics for an inter-faith lecture or post-worship meditation.”
Probably. But here are some Qur’an passages that he could preach upon, which his Christian audience might find of particular interest:
Jesus is not the Son of God and belief in the Trinity is “excess”: “O People of the Book! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter anything concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and his word which he conveyed to Mary, and a spirit from him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say ‘Three.’ Cease! It is better for you! Allah is only One Allah. It is far removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.” — Qur’an 4:171
And: “It is not befitting to Allah that he should beget a son. Glory be to him! When He determines a matter, he only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” — Qur’an 19:35
Jesus was not crucified: “And because of their saying: We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger – they did not kill him or crucify him, but it appeared so to them; and those who disagree concerning it are in doubt about it; they have no knowledge of it except pursuit of a conjecture; they did not kill him for certain.” — Qur’an 4:157
Those who believe in the divinity of Christ are unbelievers: “They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary.” — Qur’an 5:17 (cf. 5:72)
Christians have forgotten part of the divine revelations they received: “From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.” — Qur’an 5:14
Those who believe that Jesus is God’s Son are accursed: “The Jews call Ezra a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! ” — Qur’an 9:30
Christians who do not accepted Muhammad and the Qur’an are the most vile of created beings: “Nor did those who were given the Scripture become divided until after there had come to them clear evidence. And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion. Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of created beings.” — Qur’an 98:6
Muslims must fight against and subjugate Christians: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden what has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29
Also, a hadith has Muhammad predicting that Jesus will return at the end of the world and break the cross, as it is an insult to Allah’s power to say that he would have allowed one of his prophets to be crucified:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, son of Mary [Jesus] will shortly descend amongst you people [Muslims] as a just ruler and will break the Cross and kill the pig and abolish the Jizya [a tax taken from the non-Muslims, who are in the protection, of the Muslim government]. Then there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts. (Bukhari 3.34.425)
Muslims have sometimes taken this to mean not just that crosses will be destroyed in the end times, but that they should be now. In Spain in 2015, Muslims broke into a church, spray-painted “Allah” on wall, and destroyed the crucifix. In Pakistan in 2014, Muslims destroyed a church that was under construction, and desecrated the cross. When the Islamic State occupied Mosul, it made destruction of all crosses in the city a top priority.
And here’s my favorite New Testament verse, this time referring to the Diocese of Oxford: “Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)

How can this ragtime cowboy deliver a eucharistic sermon? The muslims say that Jesus didn’t really offer His Body, but only appeared to. Likewise with His Blood.
What’s left to talk about? Fantasies?
Muslims speaking in churches is a form of flag planting. They are often marking out that territory as theirs.
Never let a Muslim who has not repented and turned to Christ and come out of Islam (and not returned, obviously) give a sermon/lesson to your congregation.
Orchestrated by the British government to lull the masses into a false sense of security.
If a congregation is already riddled with liberal theology and is Scripture rejecting what’s the difference? People who don’t know the genuine have little capacity to reject the false.
It’s like that old story I heard about Treasury agents learning how to spot counterfeits from back before the money changed every few years: they didn’t study fakes to find out what they looked like but only studied the genuine articles and only THEN did they know how to spot a fake.
The world is getting ready to unite religiously under the one world religion. The anti Christ, filled with satan, isn’t going to want to share the worship of the world for long with “the woman”. After using her to bring in the ignorant wicked under his ugly wings, she too will be devoured.

Rev 17:8 - The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

The fact that you just can’t walk into a m0sque
like you can in a church should have been a
tip-off how diabolical they are

I thought the rules were that the celebrant delivered the homily or sermon.
