Washington Cathedral’s first Muslim prayer service interrupted by heckler
Washington Post ^ | November 14 2014 | Pamela Constable

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 church and to hear leaders of both faiths call for religious unity in the face of extremist violence and hate.

Nevertheless, the carefully scripted ceremony was marred once when a well-dressed middle-age woman in the audience suddenly rose and began shouting that “America was founded on Christian principles. . . . Leave our church alone!” She was swiftly ushered out by security aides, and the service continued.

Blasphemous and pure evil. Should’ve been scores of “hecklers” denouncing this abomination.

Episcopal Church — it’s the one that Bill and Hill could always be seen coming out of.

That heckler might have been the only Christian at the event.

So I assume next is a mosque celebrating Holy Communion.

Right?

Hello?

"So I assume next is a mosque celebrating Holy Communion."

I read some of the article's comments and many asked virtually the same question as you. One had a reply citing the Al-Iman mosque in Bronx, NY that allowed Jewish services.

I did a web check and found a Bronx Chabad Orthodox Jewish congregation that was allowed the use of a Muslim congregation's storefront mosque in the Bronx. Truly a brave and tolerant act on the part of that small and isolated Muslim congregation.

But, can a claim to ecumentalism for a religion of billions be supported by only a minuscule congregation in a rundown storefront in a deserted ghetto backwater?

Compare this to the Washington National Cathedral in a Christian nation's capital, where worshipers at each Sunday Service number close to two thousand (and the highest for any Episcopal church in the US) with additional hundreds of thousands of other visitors each year. [See wikipedia.]

Disgusting to this outsider (me being Jewish)
I promise you any Muslim who is aware of this is laughing at how easy it is to get alleged Christians to suck up to their false prophet and his kult

Muslims conning ignorant liberal Christians...too much of this is going on

A very Vital Line was Crossed at The National Cathedral.

All of us who have been paying attention to the advancement of “Ecumenical sloth could have predicted it.

All of us who’ve paid attention to the slow sure acceptance of islam as the equal to the Judeo Christian Ethic..certainly have should have seen this coming.

Those who facilitated this incursion of the bood cult ceremony into our Nationl Cathedral will pay a dear price for having done so, if not in this life...in the next,

Theyve extablished a dangerous precedent..and left us to pay for it.

Yes Im certain that Imam Mohammed Mohammed Ackbar Ali Mohammed will welcome CHristian Clergy to his Mosk• of The Americas....to offer Holy Communion ...within the month...

Baraq Mohammed Hussein Obama will likely be the guest “Christian” of honor at the event.

Stoning and Beheading....and perhaps being incinerated... would have been her fate in most of the “muslim” world.

Many thanks to her!
