The Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. is raising eyebrows after lifting up prayers to Allah at its General Assembly meeting last week.
"Allah bless us and bless our families and bless our Lord. Lead us on the straight path - the path of all prophets: Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad."
These were the words that rang out over the congregation at The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, USA meeting in Portland, Oregon. Wajidi Said, co-founder of the Muslim Education Trust, led the attendees in the prayer to the Islamic deity - a move arranged by the Ecumenical and Interfaith ministry staff at the assembly.
The prayer was part of the "first order of business" during the meeting's opening session, a time dedicated to praying for those affected by the Orlando shooting that occured just weeks before.
"In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, let us praise the Lord... Peace be upon them and peace be upon Allah," Said prayed. He also prayed peace on the "bigots" and "Islamaphobes."

(2 Corinthians 6:14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
(2 Corinthians 6:15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
(2 Corinthians 6:16) 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.
(2 Corinthians 6:17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
(2 Corinthians 6:18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
“The PCUSA is not a Christian denomination”
This needs to be said, over and over again.
Once the Spirit has departed there is nothing left to do but call the realtors.
Just one of the MANY reasons why the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America) broke off from the so-called mainline Presbyterians mentioned in this article. Consequently the “mainline” group is shrinking and the PCA is growing tremendously.
For the life of me, I cannot fathom why people are falling all over themselves to appease/accommodate Islam and Muslims.
NO WAY!!!
Mohammed was a liar, a murderer, and a rapist. Not by any means a prophet of God.
Jesus was not a prophet either, he is the One Whom the prophets foretold. Jesus IS God.
We are a small PCUSA church in the middle of nowhere. We have been seeking gracious release for about 3 years, but the desire began 30 years ago. We are down to about the last two months of negotiating and have a vote coming up in July. We need to have 3/4 of active members present and 2/3 have to vote to leave. Last time we took a vote it was 100%. We are praying all goes well and we will be out.
The Shahada, the Islamic profession of faith, if truthfully spoken would be as follows: There is no Allah but Satan, and Muhammad was his murdering pedophile.
BTTT
Awww, ain’t that just special?! I’m sure that, since you said a prayer to Allah, the jihadis will embrace you - right before they saw your useless brain housing group off with a serrated knife.
Remember: The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
I’m sure Muslims will reciprocate by praying to the Triune God, as revealed in the Bible
Pinging the END TIMES ping list to the article.
(2 Thessalonians 2:11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
(2 Thessalonians 2:12) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
PCUSA spends much of its time hating on Israel.
Praying to Allah?
They might as well cut out the middle-man — and pray directly to Satan.
Pitiful attempts to preemptively submit to the might and power of Islam.
NOBODY would submit to Islam except under threat of death, often bloody and immediate. Islam provides fewer benefits that submitting to the Mafia, which at least maintains some degree of tolerance, so long as it does not interfere with “business”.
Agreed. It really is unfathomable, isn’t it? Nobody did this for the Nazis or, more recent,y, the Vietnam Cong.
Well, there was that Jane Fonda incident in Hanoi, but it was an isolated case and she was excoriated for it, unlike today.
This apparently caused a stir and forced the Clerk of Session to issue a lame apology, which the Layman is not buying:
