Tomorrow, prayers to Allah will be echoing throughout the Washington National Cathedral as this historic venue hosts its first Muslim prayer service. Organizers of the event hope it will promote tolerance and dialogue, as if America is lacking in tolerance and dialogue. Anyone have any ideas on how to promote tolerance in Mecca, Damascus or Gaza? I couldnt help being struck by the irony of this news coupled with headlines around the world. While the most recognizable church in Washington, if not all of America, welcomes Muslims, radical Islamists blew up a church in Syria dedicated to memorializing the slaughter of nearly 1.5 million Armenian Christians. Yesterday in Nigeria scores of schoolchildren were blown up by people who will also be offering noon time prayers to Allah. As Islam advances all over the world, it treats Christians as second class citizens while radical Islamists tell them to convert or die. It converts churches into mosques to make it clear which faith is dominate. While the Washington National Cathedral is a national symbol, it is part of the Episcopal Church, which is confused about a great many things, including Gods institution of marriage. So its no wonder they are confused about how to handle the Islamic revival that is sweeping the Middle East and Africa, leaving dead Christians and Jews in its wake. Rather than fretting about Islamophobia in America, perhaps the folks at the National Cathedral should redouble their efforts to defend fellow believers around the world from jihad.
