That is an absolutely beautiful - and vacant - buiding. Where is the Cross, or any expressions of worship to our Creator? There are none. An I would bet that they have been systematically removed by the heathens. How utterly sad.
"Members of the Muslim community will now gather on the quadrangle outside the chapel before moving to its regular location for prayers, Duke said. "
Given your image of the quadrangle outside the chapel..this reversal isn't complete, rather it's a provocation since the muhammedans insist on gathering in front of the chapel.
WTH is wrong with these people? There is no reason for them to gather in front of the cathedral prior to moving to their 'regular location' for 'prayers' (ritual condemnations of all non-believers).
The Fatiha (Opening) is the first sura (chapter) of the Qur’an and most common prayer of Islam. A pious Muslim who prays the five requisite daily prayers of Islam will recite the Fatiha seventeen times in the course of those prayers.
From Wafa Sultan’s book “A God Who Hates” pg. 168:
“A Muslim prays five times a day, and on each occasion he recites the Fatiha, the first verse of the Koran, a number of times. This verse describes Christians as “those who have gone astray” and Jews as “those who have incurred Your wrath.” We see from this that Muslims ‘execrate’ Christians and Jews a number of times in the course of a single prayer, which they repeat five times a day.”
- ‘execrate’ – an enlightening term . . .let’s explore, shall we? via dictionary.com
execrate – verb
- 1. to detest utterly; abhor; abominate.
- 2. to curse; imprecate evil upon; damn; denounce: He execrated all who opposed him.
In any situation where the fatiha is recited, there is absolutely no interest in building bridges or extending tolerance. They are however fully intent on gaining exceptional degrees of tolerance from all non-believers. When it comes to Islam, tolerance is a one way street. Believe it or else.
