Prison bans chapel crucifix to avoid offending Muslims
Daily Mail ^ | 12/15/08

Posted on 12/15/2008 7:51:07 PM PST by Mr. Mojo

A prison’s new chapel will not contain a crucifix to avoid offending Muslim inmates, it emerged today.

Bosses at HMP Lewes have been told the traditional Christian symbol, featuring Jesus nailed to a cross, must not be used in the Grade-II listed Victorian jail’s ‘multi-faith space’.

The room - part of a £1million new block - has been split in two, with one half featuring heated foot baths so Muslim worshippers can wash their feet before prayer.

But the other side, dedicated to Christian prayer, contains just a simple wooden cross and portable alter - both of which can be removed if necessary.

According the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB), the traditional Christian crucifix was erased from the chapel’s blueprints after discussion with a Muslim imam.

That if silly. Islam acknowledges Christ as great prophet. He is not a deity like he is for the Christians but he is still an important dude to Islam.

It has been replaced by the 6 foot lit up home made one currently in my front yard for the Christmas season.;)

Merry CHRISTmas.

Yes, imagine a place of worship having items of religious significance...

Luke 21:12-15

But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
KJV

How about shooting imprisoned Muslims and eliminate all these trivial problems.

From a very pleasant dream I had last night. ;-)

How about keeping muslims in crates and feed them pork in a communal bowl? Then later let them use the bowl as a chamber pot. Next day breakfast in the same unwashed bowl.

They deserve no better.

muslim = roach

The Koran says it was NOT Jesus that was crucified, rather Judas.

It’s hard to believe though that some accommodation couldn’t be made for Roman Catholics and others who use a crucifix in worship. The UK is going down the Eurabia rathole FAST!

Warm footbaths in the chapel, and the very notion of barefoot Muzzies, would offend me.

Saying that I hate Islam and liberals is as much as I can say without getting banned. Since the US is following in the footsteps of Europe, this will be coming to America before long.......IF it hasn’t already! I mean, BESIDES what the ACLU has done to Christianity!

Yes; one whose role is to lead the Mahdi's army in wiping out the remnant of Jews & Christians, before marrying and raising a family for 40 years, then dying & going to Paradise.

Their "Jesus" is NOT Jesus, any more than their Allah is God.

At least learn the basics of Islamic theology, and especially Eschatology, by reading this free e-book
