First church in Germany given for Islamic worship
Catholic Church Conservation ^ | 11 June 2012 | Cathcon

A Christian church has been converted into a Muslim assembly hall. In Moenchengladbach-Rheydt the Alevi community gathers in the former Holy Cross Church of the Evangelical Methodist Church. Three years ago, the Methodists celebrated their last church service in the church and sold it in 2010 to the Alevis. The renovation of the building took one and a half years.

This was an unprecedented event in Germany, writes the newspaper "Welt am Sonntag". So far, an interdenominational consensus had prevailed, not to allow the conversion of abandoned churches to Islamic worship.

Islam and our Constitutional republic cannot coexist.

The muslim problem in the US is still relatively small. I fear/know it will not be addressed, if at all, until there is no hope of return.

I hope I am wrong, but if not, I will not be around to witness the new dark age of a near worldwide caliphate.

I’m sorry, I did have western Europe in mind when I posted that. I do understand the strength of the faith in Poland, for which I congratulate you and your fellow countrymen.

The UMC is one of the most politically correct institutions in Christianity.

Contrast this with Spain and even Greece where the Muzzies are told to go @&@&*^&*^ themselves if they try this.

European Methodists are just people waiting to become Muslims anyway.
