That's all really nice and all.

But what I want to know is, has this group of muslims denounced terrorism? Do they denounce the Oldest Terrorist, Yasser Arafat?

Would they accept the offer of the use of a Jewish building?

If so, then, welcome to America.

Holy Trinity is an ELCA Lutheran church, so don't be surprised if they rent the building out to the local GLAAD contingent when the Muslims aren't busy with it.

"We are thankful for them," Muslim Arif Kazmi said of the Lutherans. "We will kill them last."

"We questioned what does it mean for us? What will people think of it?" he said. "We decided that hospitality is an important thing to promote. We try to foster a feeling that this is community space, God's space."

Did they ever ask what God would want. Hospitality is nice, but I can't see turning a place that is dedicated to God over to a religion that denies His Son.

Muslims are nothing if not grateful

[niteowl77]

Additional note: some of the hate literature from "official" ELCA peace and love organizations involved in the Middle East make Yasser Arafat sound moderate. That they suck up to Islam is not surprising; that they still have congregations is surprising.

This wasn't a barf alert?

So you make God share space with Allah, sad...

I am an ELCA member, who is Evangelical Catholic/Evangelical Orthodox and totally disagrees with the revisionist agenda being pushed by the ELCA's mis-leaders. (I have posted about that on FR.)

Our ELCA congregation provides space in our building for a Jewish congregation on Saturday morning and another Christian congregation on Sunday afternoon after we are finshed with our services and Sunday School. That is all well and good.

However, most muslim congregations in the US are run by Wahhabis and other islamists (also known as islamofascists), and most US mosque buildings are financed by islamist Middle East donors. The same donors usuallly provide the mosque with an islamist imam, if they do not already have one. (Moderate muslims are my source on this).

The imams and other mosque officials go on to lie about being "the religion of peace", and collect as many Christian and Jewish dupes and shills in the community as they can who parrot that line. However, their REAL goals are conversion of Christians, Jews, and other Americans to islam, financing islamist activities (including foreign jihads and "jihad in America"), and working toward an islamofascist America!!!

I hope that this ELCA congregation in Chandler, Arizona, has checked out their muslim guests VERY WELL. The ELCA--including some at the highest levels of our church body--is a PRIME SOURCE for the kind of islamist dupes and shills who are (often unwittingly) paving the way for the islamization of America!!!!

Without the use of the Lutheran facility, the Muslims would have had to pay high
commercial rental rates for worship space, further delaying mosque construction.

Why pay high commercial rates when a band of liberal nutburgers will give you
a facility...and you can send the saved $$$ to Muslim "charities"...

OK, I'm being cynical.
And realistic, given the track record...

CHANDLER - Holy Trinity Lutheran Church quietly has shared its sanctuary with Muslims for more than a year. Saturday it will be the site of a Ramadan dinner to raise money for construction of a mosque.

That temple / church is now defiled ... and the muslims will try to steal it in enough time.
