There is no such thing as ONE sided dialogue...
Yesterday, Sunday, November 16, 2014 a new
initiative was taken in Washington, D.C.
All sects of Islam…came to pray in a Christian
cathedral… very courageous… very commendable… But the date was purposely
chosen… and was not a coincidence…
100 years ago… this same day…November
16, 1914… the last Caliph, or the supreme head of Islam, declared the last
Jihad against the infidels… and now on this same day… the National Cathedral in
the U.S. capital has hosted Muslim prayers…
The National Cathedral...
Now let them open one of the mosques...for Christian mass...
The Muslims will not...
There religion forbids that... after all the Christians are the infidels...!
Coincidence…? Not at all…
That statement by the last sitting head of what was
the theocratic empire of Islam was the catalyst
which led to religiously-fueled genocide against Christian Armenians and
Assyrians...
Inside the National Cathedral...
Now it is the TURN of the Muslims to HOST a Christian interfaith prayer in on of their mosques...
Will day...?
Their religion forbids that...!
Muslim Prayer in the national cathedral...
Now they MUST reciprocate and open up a mosque for Christian prayers...
There is nothing inherently wrong about interfaith
initiatives as long as they start
from the same place: a mutual respect for the belief system of the other, and their inherent dignity as
humans created by
God. When one party acts in bad faith based upon its ideological commitment to see other faiths destroyed or subjected, then the event runs the risk of becoming a propaganda coup for the extremists and their followers.

The fact that this event is occurring just as
ancient Christian communities are being destroyed in
the Middle East and "non-believers" are being actually crucified by ISIS jihadists makes
it all the more egregious.
We know that the Episcopal Church is in trouble with more conservative believers leaving in great numbers and the remaining adherents not exactly outdoing their Catholic cousins in terms of reproducing the next generation of believers. But I doubt they also understand the finer points of jihadist doctrine, one of which is that if a place of worship is used by Muslims for their prayers, that territory subsequently becomes part of Dar al Islam, sacred Muslim land… Forever…

The Episcopal Church just like the Catholic Church…
is funny…
The Episcopals host the interfaith initiative… the
same day that the Caliph issued the Jihad order…
The Pope will be the first foreign guest in the new
Turkish palace of more than 300 million dollars… neglecting the poor… and
aspiring to initiate a new empire…like the Caliph 100 years ago…
The other and more correct initiative…
The Echmiadzin Cathedral in Armenia...
TEHRAN, Nov. 16 (MNA) - Echmiadzin Cathedral of
Armenia announced readiness to communicate with Qom
Seminary and to hold joint meetings entitled
'Religions for Peace and Solidarity and the role of religious leaders in promoting peace in the region' with the
seminary.
Shia holy city of Qom in Iran...
1. They beheaded another American…
2. The organization of the Islamic State in Iraq
and the Levant, known as DA'ISH
[Arabic acronym for ISIL], which controls the entire Province of Al-Raqqa in northern Syria since last January, has
warned the Christians and the
Armenians who remain in the city of Al-Raqqa to pay the "jiziah" [tax on non-Muslims] or leave. So,
Christians and Armenians must pay the “jiziah” tax or leave or they will be
arrested and killed…
Indeed,
I am for reconciliation and for interfaith
initiatives… BUT THEY SHOULD BE ON EQUAL FOOTING… the Christian should not be
forced to bend backward… more and more… otherwise the Islamic forces will
deport them or massacre the.
They did that 100 years ago to the Armenians and
Assyrians and the Pontic Greeks…
Soon it is the 100 anniversary of the Genocide of
Armenians… and reconciliation cannot be one sided…
