JERUSALEM In what Egypt's Christians fear may be a sign of things to come, a senior Islamic cleric asked Christians to bow in Muslim prayer in an act of submission to Allah.
On Friday, famed Egyptian theologian Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a spiritual leader to the Muslim Brotherhood who hosts a popular Islam-themed television show on Al Jazeera, led the Islamic prayer services in Cairo's Tahrir Square, the epicenter of Egypt's uprising.
While he repeatedly offered nods to Egypt's Coptic Christians, unmentioned in most news media accounts of the ceremony was that Qaradawi asked all in attendance, specifically singling out Christians, to bow in Islamic prayer.
A Coptic Christian at the event told WND the request was intimidating.
"Whether he meant to or not, this was asking Christian to bow in an act of submission to Islam and Allah," said the Christian, who asked that he named be withheld.

What’s the problem? (/sarc) Our children are told to do it in public schools, as part of their mohammedist-for-a-week projects. It’s all part of the multi-culti-diversity-sensitivity wacksh*t.

Do Coptic Christians return the favor? (Bow to Jesus Christ, my Moose friends?)
To: FR_addict
Yes, but I suspect we all knew in our hearts that was coming eventually.

As I see it, the muslims, especially those in the US have become more militant, more demanding and more aggressive since Obama has taken office. I don’t think it is an exaggeration.

Huckabee should mention this in his response to CAIR who is demanding that he apologize for his “intolerance” on the subject of opening up Christian churches in America to lend-use by Muslims.
Let’s see what CAIR says about this find example of tolerance.

O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up. -- Daniel 3: 16-18

I left the Mission Covenant Church because the top leadership took the position of Allah being the same god as the true God.

From the Muslim perspective being permitted to submit rather than being killed out of hand is the height of compassion and tolerance.

Remember Shadrach, Meschak and Abednigo. They didn’t bow, they didn’t bend, they didn’t burn. Going along to get along can cost you Eternity.

That’s right. Kind of like, “if you call me a murderer I will kill you”.
