The 100-year old Washington National Cathedral — celebrated as our “National House of Prayer” by Congress — is opening its doors, pews and pulpit to “radical Muslims” who will essentially turn the cherished Episcopal Church into a mosque.
On Friday, for the first time ever, this prominent and powerful symbol of America’s Judeo-Christian heritage will host a Muslim prayer service.
According to nbcwashington.com:
Planners say they hope Friday’s service at the historic cathedral will foster more understanding and acceptance between Christians and Muslims around the world.
The National Cathedral is where America holds very special religious services — funerals for our presidents, like Ronald Reagan, and for our heroes, like Neil Armstrong.
Now, as a piece on investors.com notes, this great church is welcoming into its sanctuary questionable organizers of this first-of-its-kind Muslim prayer event:
Who are these “organizers”? Members of known Muslim Brotherhood front groups, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).
The Justice Department has identified both as belonging to the Hamas wing of the radical Brotherhood. It’s also implicated them in a Hamas conspiracy to raise millions for Palestinian suicide bombers.
These co-sponsors of the National Cathedral jumuah (“for invited guests only”) remain unindicted co-conspirators in a major terror case.
An article in the Washington Post informs us that event organizers say they are seeking to make a statement by having Muslim leaders hold their midday service in such a visible and venerable Christian house of worship.
About 100 invited guests will reportedly attend the closed service, which will be spoken and chanted. The Post story says that Muslim leaders will bring prayer carpets.
“We want the world to see the Christian community is partnering with us and is supporting our religious freedom in the same way we are calling for religious freedom for all minorities in Muslim countries,” said Rizwan Jaka, a spokesman with the prominent ADAMS mosque in Sterling, Va., one of the co-sponsors of Friday’s service.
“Let this be a lesson to the world.”
But some are wondering what kind of “lesson” this will actually teach.
As the editorial in Investor’s Business Daily observes, it could well be that Muslim leaders want the lesson to be that Islam’s infiltration into the highest levels of traditional American life knows no bounds…that event organizers are happy to have their groundbreaking prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral for deeply symbolic reasons:
There are few more powerful symbols of our Judeo-Christian culture than the cathedral — and that’s exactly why the Islamists targeted it.
The Washington Establishment just adores taqiyya ...
“And wheresoever the Muslim foot may tread, is Muslim land forever.”
We are being conquered.
And the Leftists love it.
The Episcopal “church” has gone all mushy, ultraliberal, feminazi, and above all, “gay”.
Why not make St. John the Baptist Orthodox Cathedral the NEW “National Cathedral”?
Then let the Episcopalians use their “former National Cathedral” for whatever they want—muslim prayer services, Buddhist chanting, and “gay” orgies included. PHOOEY!!!!
PHOOEY again!!!!
“.... foster more understanding and acceptance between Christians and Muslims around the world.”
The only “understanding” the various Muslim Brotherhood fronts will take away from this is that the premier Christian church in Washington, DC, is now subservient to the will of Allah.
Despite claims to the contrary, there is no conclusive reasoned argument that the entity known as “Allah” is at all he same entity as Yahweh, or Jehovah. The Jewish and Christian interpretations are a lot less concerned with “smiting” the infidels with a sword in the hands of a holy warrior, and much more with judgment either against a whole nation or people, or in the afterlife.
There is a vast apostasy in play here.
Camel..tent..yadayada
Try and worship YOUR God in a mosque.
Setup so their arses are pointed at the congregation..
Priceless.
They do that once and they consider it theirs . Lay claim to the National Cathedral.
Why, for what purpose is this.This is nuts.
UN-EFFING-BELIEVABLE!
Why are we allowing so many Muslims into our country when their main goal is to destroy our culture and replace it with Islam? The Bill of Rights is not a suicide pact that prohibits us from acting to preserve our nation.
Despite its name, the Washington National Cathedral is not an official U.S. government church, which is prohibited by the Constitution. However, the Episcopal church, which is funded by private donations, does possess important symbolic value and regularly hosts official events, such as presidential inaugurations and funerals.
So the stupidity is with the Episcopal Church. But we already knew that. They were the first to ordain gay bishops.
Well, you have a muslim in the White House for starters.
You might seriously want to BEG the mods to delete your post number 38.
