The 100-year old Washington National Cathedral — celebrated as our “National House of Prayer” by Congress — is opening its doors, pews and pulpit to “radical Muslims” who will essentially turn the cherished Episcopal Church into a mosque.
On Friday, for the first time ever, this prominent and powerful symbol of America’s Judeo-Christian heritage will host a Muslim prayer service.
According to nbcwashington.com:
Planners say they hope Friday’s service at the historic cathedral will foster more understanding and acceptance between Christians and Muslims around the world.
The National Cathedral is where America holds very special religious services — funerals for our presidents, like Ronald Reagan, and for our heroes, like Neil Armstrong.
Now, as a piece on investors.com notes, this great church is welcoming into its sanctuary questionable organizers of this first-of-its-kind Muslim prayer event:
Who are these “organizers”? Members of known Muslim Brotherhood front groups, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).
The Justice Department has identified both as belonging to the Hamas wing of the radical Brotherhood. It’s also implicated them in a Hamas conspiracy to raise millions for Palestinian suicide bombers.
These co-sponsors of the National Cathedral jumuah (“for invited guests only”) remain unindicted co-conspirators in a major terror case.
An article in the Washington Post informs us that event organizers say they are seeking to make a statement by having Muslim leaders hold their midday service in such a visible and venerable Christian house of worship.
About 100 invited guests will reportedly attend the closed service, which will be spoken and chanted. The Post story says that Muslim leaders will bring prayer carpets.
We want the world to see the Christian community is partnering with us and is supporting our religious freedom in the same way we are calling for religious freedom for all minorities in Muslim countries, said Rizwan Jaka, a spokesman with the prominent ADAMS mosque in Sterling, Va., one of the co-sponsors of Fridays service.
Let this be a lesson to the world.
But some are wondering what kind of “lesson” this will actually teach.
As the editorial in Investor’s Business Daily observes, it could well be that Muslim leaders want the lesson to be that Islam’s infiltration into the highest levels of traditional American life knows no bounds…that event organizers are happy to have their groundbreaking prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral for deeply symbolic reasons:
There are few more powerful symbols of our Judeo-Christian culture than the cathedral and that’s exactly why the Islamists targeted it.
Clinton and Bush both allowed in tens of thousands of Muslim “refugees” who are busy setting up their own Sharia law zones.
NatCat is Protestant
I have no doubt that is true.
I also have no doubt that "event organizers" are "lying like a Gruber" about the REAL statement they are seeking to make.
Everything I need to “understand” about islam I leaned on September 11, 2001.
It can be summed up as follows:
“Radical muslims want to kill us.
Moderate muslims want radical muslims to kill us.”
Yes. For anyone who lacks “understanding” of islam it would be an instant, valuable, but regrettably short-lived, education.
The National Cathedral is not a Catholic Church.
Here is their website.
It has nothing to do with the Roman Catholic Church whatsoever ...
It’s unfortunate, but considering the state of the Episcopal church, it’s not that surprising. They will have much to answer for.
OK ...
How about your comment in #38?
It seems to be ...
misdirected.
Planners say they hope Fridays service at the historic cathedral will foster more understanding and acceptance between Christians and Muslims around the world.
I understand that Islam is a death cult and the biggest threat to freedom and liberty on the planet and I will never accept that we can not defeat that.
Agree one hundred percent! Every day another assault on our culture and liberty. I am so effing sick of it!
"If you are ashamed of me before man then I shall be ashamed of you before the Father"
They're doing a damn poor job of religious tolerance in muslim countries as pretty soon there won't be a single Christian or Jew left east of Israel.

Post #46 seems a bit ...
weak.
Dramatic.
I’m not the one that damned the Catholics because of the Episcopalians’ apostasy.
