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.

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.

Exodus 15:11 “Who among the gods is like you, O LORD? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?


Exodus 20:23 Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.

Exodus 32:8 They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’

Exodus 34:14 Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

Deuteronomy 5:7 “You shall have no other gods before me.

Deuteronomy 6:14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you;

2 Kings 17:35 When the LORD made a covenant with the Israelites, he commanded them: “Do not worship any other gods or bow down to them, serve them or sacrifice to them.

Psalm 81:9 You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not bow down to an alien god.

Isaiah 42:8 “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols.

Jeremiah 7:9 “’Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known,

Jeremiah 25:6 Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them; do not provoke me to anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you.”

Jeremiah 35:15 Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets to you. They said, “Each of you must turn from your wicked ways and reform your actions; do not follow other gods to serve them. Then you will live in the land I have given to you and your fathers.” But you have not paid attention or listened to me.

Hosea 13:4 “But I am the LORD your God, [who brought you] out of Egypt. You shall acknowledge no God but me, no Savior except me.

Without further comment.

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