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.

The National Cathedral has become an embarrassment to Christians everywhere.

What an appalling load of PC BS! The Washington National Cathedral is a Christian church, not a mosque. It has just been desecrated!!

According to Muslim tradition, once a non muslim religious building (church, synagogue) is prayed in by a muslim, that build in henceforth is a muslim holy place.
Glad someone protested.

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

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.
Geeze Western Liberals are gullible when it comes to Muslims!

Let the Muslim's worship there; heck last year the Cathedral starting hosting “marriages” based on same sex sexual fetishes.
Nothing Spiritually Christian about that building as well as the clergy.

“America was founded on Christian principles. . . . Leave our church alone!” If she is a member of the Episcopal Church (the National Cathedral is an Episcopal church) her church died some time ago, murdered by the church’s leadership.

Damn right!
There is no religious unity with Islam.

Was that before or after they all stuck their asses up in the air in the national cathedral?
