Controversial billboards in Columbus, Ohio, reading "Jesus is Muslim" and "Mohammed is in the Bible" are drawing protests from local Christians who say Muslims are "hijacking" the name of Jesus.
"Although we support the Islamic community's right to free speech, as well as their right to post messages on billboards, we do not support the hijacking of the name of Jesus Christ in their attempt to lure uninformed Christians into their religion," Coach Dave Daubenmire of Pass the Salt Ministries said in a statement Thursday.
Daubenmire is hosting a prayer vigil on Saturday alongside the Rev. Rusty Thomas of Operation Save America and Pastor Bill Dunfee of New Beginnings Church in Warsaw.
The billboards are sponsored by a group called "Ask a Muslim," based in Columbus, which says that it is dedicated to educating people about Islam.
"We believe that clearing up the many misconceptions about Islam will make this world a better place. A place with less violence and hatred, filled with mutual respect and understanding," the group says.
The group argues on its website that Muslims are actually Christians, if "Christian" is taken to mean someone following the teachings of Christ.

How about one that says: "The Crusaders should have done more?"
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, kinda helps to explain his crazy behavior. But ya got nuthin for the rest of my description?
Well just who's fault is it that there is anyone in this country who is uninformed about Jesus Christ, the only Begotten Son of God?
Catholics and Protestants alike need to hang their heads in shame if there is anyone in this country who is "uninformed" about Jesus Christ.
Fine, let’s just put up a picture of Mohammed, looking worshipfully at Jesus.
Lie and Truth.
Mohammed is in the Bible. I believe he is found in 1 John 4:3.
Look it up.
Well he was “born” 600 years before mighty mo got mad and invented islam. In between when he was murdering, raping, stealing or having sex with his 6 yr old wife
Allah is their word for God.
Are you calling God that name?
>>It’s you who are wrong, they’d say, for holding those distorted beliefs about him.
Exactly. But, they’d have to admit that the myth of “we believe in the same Jesus as you” is busted.
Not the same God, obviously.
The three monotheistic religions are Judaism, Catholicism and Islam.
Do the research.
Islam is about the Moon God.
For sure.
I’d like to have this scene of the beheading of the young American Nick? Berg? put on billboards in Ohio, with the slogan: “Islam is the religion of peace”.
WOuld love to see the AskAMoslem group defend this murder.
Time for us to go on the offensive.
“There is nothing so powerful as the truth”!
It would be like saying “Hitler is a Democrat” during WWII.
Oh, wait!
What is the billboard company?
The article lacks.
That McDonald's should serve McPork.I wonder why they never did pork yet.
I'll wager the courts would come down hard on ANY group or organization that dis's islam.... Any takers....
Good is now evil and evil is now good..... This country has gone completely MAD..!!
Well if they can theologize on billboards, so can Christians. In fact why aren’t more Christians doing it?
It’s probably true enough that Islamdom is in the bible, as part of the wild-ass progeny of Ishmael.
