As a police escort led the funeral procession for Marine Staff Sgt. David Wyatt to the Chattanooga National Cemetery, people in the Islamic Society of Greater Chattanooga mosque bowed their heads in prayer.

And as thousands lined the streets of Chattanooga to wave American flags, hold signs and salute as the hearse passed them by, a small group of non-Muslims lined the back wall of the prayer room of the mosque to offer support for the local Islamic community. On July 16, Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, 24, from a local Muslim family, fatally shot four Marines at a Navy/Marine operations center and mortally wounded a Navy sailor.

The guests who joined local Muslims for prayers were mainly Baptists, with at least one Presbyterian. They came with their children in tow.

"We just want to show them that we love them," said a Baptist man who asked not to be named.

These ignorant people think that Muslims serve the same God as Christians - they do not.

Yup...Muslims don't think so...

They deny Christ is the only begotten Son of God...they deny the Trinity...

Their moon god cult may use the same ancient Semitic similar name...

If Muslims think allah and Elohim are the same God, why do they chop off christians heads ?

I promise the Imam of this mosque had a hand in the radicalization of this young man.

“We just want to show them that we love them,”

You don’t even know them.
When the Bible says to love your neighbor and your enemy, it implies a certain amount of familiarity.

“I’m going to assume they aren’t born-again Christians, but, merely church members. There is a difference.”

Agree. The best we born-again Christians can do regarding the Muslims is to pray for them — from a distance.

Uhhuh. More unnamed sources, from the press. Got it.

There’s fools and then there are special kinds of fools. I found it particularly galling to read that the Baptists covered up their daughters out of respect but probably would go crazy if their own pastor asked them to stop letting little Cindy come to church in Daisy Dukes.

If this mosque/imman was particularly outspoken and condemning of the ever-present Muslim terrorism, I could understand accepting them.
