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.

Sad , isn’t it? This is why the patriots appear to be losing the culture war here in America . The great majority cannot be any longer bothered to get up off their sofas and get out there where the battle is being fought . The other side does, as they seek to control the information battle space . Until there is parity nothing will begin to change and until we overwhelm them we will never see victory in this fight .

2 Chronicles 25:11 And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand. 12 And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive , and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces . 13 But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back , that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil. 14 Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them. 15 Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand? 16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel ? forbear ; why shouldest thou be smitten ? Then the prophet forbare , and said , I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel. 17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice , and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying , Come , let us see one another in the face. 18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying , The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying , Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle. 19 Thou sayest , Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast : abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall , even thou, and Judah with thee? 20 But Amaziah would not hear ; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom. 21 So Joash the king of Israel went up ; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah. 22 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.

It started with W Bush having Ramadan in the White House. Now we have an Islamic President and Imams preaching in the National Cathedral. God have mercy on us...;-(

this is meaningless in America. If Muslims want to show they are a peaceful religion they would have a Christian service in Mecca and not throw stones at Jews worshiping at the Temple Mount.

Amen.

Are heads rolling, women stoned to death, children crucified, villages massacred in the United States? Nope.

Maybe they should “call for religious unity” at the source of “extremist violence and hate.” But they won’t. They like their heads. Hypocrites.

Well, couple of heads have in fact rolled In The USA in recent months...but we wont carry on about that...

Good should not want to co exist with EVIL.

A REAL CHristian Church would not invite muslims to Pray to their “allah”...Period

The National Cathedral may as well be renamed the National Recreation Center

Of course not we know what Appropriate means.

The Muslims behind this fiasco know precisely why they got themselves....invited......to this insurgency festival.....the very INAPPROPRIATENESS..the rebelious inppropriateness of it all.

Were it not for the SOLE Protestor....we’d doubtless heard very little about it.

The Episcopal Church aka ECUSA.... just jumped the final shark

Washington National Cathedral has been controlled by apostate Christians who casually deny Jesus as Lord and the scriptures as God’s Word for many years now.

To have Muslims in is a small sin in compared to that...

The Episcopagans who own the place left Christianity a long time ago. They are basically Unitarian Universalists with fancy robes.

Let me guess: Catholic? Or, Orthodox Christian?

I agree with him, and I'm Anglican.

Of course there are still a few (small "o") orthodox Episcopalians around--it's just very hard for them to remain--under the authority of apostate bishops.

Let's not forget a simple proposal to proclaim "Jesus is Lord" was defeated at the last Episcopal General Assembly...and TEC is headed by an apostate Marine Biologist---who has defrocked more clergy (for simply leaving TEC to join other Anglican bodies), and spent more money on lawsuits (pursuing departing congregations)....than all other Presiding Bishops combined....

Any Episcopalian--liberal or orthodox--should hang their head in shame.
