This one will warm your hearts. A Christian church in Bochum, Germany held one of those interfaith services and celebrated the birthday of the Prophet Mohammad.

I assume instead of Christian hymns, they sang,
"Khaybar, Khaybar, ah Yahud..."
I wonder why they didn't invite the Jewish community to participate.
Oh yeah.
So, does the Jewish community traditionally celebrate the birthday of the prophet Muhammed?
ReplyDeleteI didn't think so.
Siarlys,
ReplyDeleteYou missed the point-again.
The point is that any Jew with any pride would not go to a service like that, like any true Christian wouldn't go to a service by either, Jews or Muslims.
ReplyDeleteIn Mr. Fouse's perfect world all Christian churches would do is worship Jews, "God's" chosen people, and raise money for Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
ReplyDeleteChristian Zionism is a theological virus.
Anonymous' comment proves my point about anti-Semitism.
ReplyDeleteI didn't miss your point Gary, I turned it. Apparently you can only visualize in two dimensions, so you missed the rotation.
ReplyDeleteAnony Mouse is developing a split personality again. I see no reason that a Christian, or a Jew, could not celebrate the birthday of Muhammed, although whether to do so might turn on how long it has been since someone claiming to by Muslim had raided the territory where I live.
It would also be nice if Muslims had a "Christmas" service to celebrate the birth of one of their faith's greatest prophets, and invited local Christians. Jews, of course, could NOT attend that one.
Next, all three get together for a Passover service.
Suggest you check out Khaybar, khaybar, ah yahud for the meaning of my irony.

ReplyDeleteAnonymous: Duh-uh. So why don't you each identify yourselves. I mean, I don't use the name on my driver's license, I use the nom de plume I adopted for two self-published and one unpublished books. You can make something up. Just give yourself a bit of individuality. Put a name at the bottom of your post, like everyone is required to do at Red Cardigan, if you don't have a Google account.
ReplyDeleteGary: As long as I've been commenting here, you think I wouldn't know what Khaybar refers to? Even if you hadn't incessantly referred to it, I have read David Levering Lewis's God's Crucible, which explains the incident in some detail. These young thugs who claim to be Muslim don't know what they are talking about.
