The Archbishop of Lyon, Philippe Cardinal Barbarin visited the Grand Mosque of Lyon, and there prayed for the release of a seven-member French family who has been kidnapped in Cameroon and is held hostage. "Does Allah hear the prayers more than our Lord Jesus Christ?," asks the French website Riposte Catholique

I’m a Catholic. My pagan ancestors worshiped their gods the same as yours did. Saint Patrick preached a message of love, for God the Father, Jesus and one another. He didn’t teach them to go out and start slaughtering people in his name or Gods. What business does any Christian have in a mosque? ‘’Witnessing’’ to what, a creed that is intolerant to every other faith and makes no bones about it? A creed who’s founder was a murdering , illiterate degenerate who raped a nine year old child and seduced his own daughter-in-law? A creed that sanctions lying and ‘’honor killing’ and calls my Jewish brethren ‘’pigs and monkeys’’and whom Heinrich Himmler called ‘’the perfect religion for the warrior’’? You dodged every question I put to you. What miracles did Mohammed perform and who’s sins did he die for? Contrast the life of Mohammed with that of the life Jesus Christ.
You’re not very “wide awake.”
The moslum prayer is a complete denial of Yeshua, his diety, and his saving blood.
Are you ‘’wide awake’’? Did you read my post? You’re preaching to the choir here. Maybe you can answer the questions I posed.
Islam hasn’t murdered 270 million. That number is way bogus.
NOT TRUE! Here's is the evidence...
OK - Maybe you’re correct.......250, 230, 200 Million murdered?, beheaded?, burned?.....look at this century, millions more! What’s your point?
Upthread you said that Christians should avoid the company of heathens.
However, St. Patrick - himself an exemplary Christian - did not avoid the company of heathens.
Why should Cardinal Barbarin reject St. Patrick's example and take your advice instead?
These heathens kill. They worship death, hate Jews and Christians and are determined to keep on killing. Answer the questions I put to you bozo or shut up.
And what has your reaching out done for you? Have you converted any of these animals? Why is all this ‘’reaching out ‘’ one way? Christians doing the ‘’reaching out’’ and not Muslims? My Catholic faith tells me to resist Satan and all his false promises and all his works.Islam is that false promise and Mohammed was Satan. As ‘Ive told that other idiot, contrast the life of Mohammed with that of Jesus Christ.
Colossians 3:5-6. Galatians 5;19; 21. Matthew 7:6.
Corinthians 5;11, 6;14.
Nobody understands why a french Catholic bishop would do this, with an imam who condemned the kidnapping of 7 french adults and children by African Muslim terrorists and led his followers in prayer that they be released. Or why the story could possibly have been made public, it’s almost like he hopes his puzzling actions with this imam who prayed for the hostages to be released are spread far and wide, for some strange reason. It truly is a puzzle that may be beyond our understanding for all time. Obviously.

“Then think on this: how did your ancestors - also heathens - come to find Christ if Christians were obliged to shun their company?”
Simple, we aren’t commanded to not preach to them. We are commanded to shun their sins and false religions, and are not to give aid and comfort to enemies of God.
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”(2Co 6:14-18).
And again,
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
(2Jn 1:9-11)
Praying with false religions certainly violates the spirit of scripture, which will not tolerate any false religion to share a sense of equality with Christ. Islam is a false religion, and we cannot agree with it under any circumstance, or commune with them under any religions context, even in the smallest of things.
Our commandment is simple, Go and preach to all nations, teaching them Jesus. And our example is easily seen in the works of the Apostles, who went around the world crying “Repent!” and urging all to give up their false gods.
Maybe you ought to live among the head-choppers pal or peddle your bs on some other web-site. In case you haven’t noticed this isn’t a Muslim-friendly web-site. In any case go fly a kite, Islam’lover.
I bet you enjoyed doing that almost as much as you enjoyed voting for Obama twice.
Why was it good for St. Patrick to go among the heathen?
