I don't see anything wrong with this at all, there is no harm in praying next to muslim/jew/hindu/buddhist and I think there are alot of things that we can learn from them too. As long as the Father, Jesus and the Sprit are within you why should we fear prayer with other faiths?

And I do believe that Christ is forming in me. And I also pray that Christ's love flows from me to others as well. And since Christ is in my heart, is it not foolish to look blindly at the world around me? Why is it a sin to pray five times a day, with billions of other people shoulder to shoulder in reverence towards God (Islam)? To sit in a tent with a blazing fire, getting so hot that you start to question: is anyone looking out for me (First Nations Spirituality)? I do not understand, why is that sin? It is so near to what Christians do. And as long as I pray to my one God, I believe that it is worship and I come closer to God because of it.

Amen! When we begin to believe that the Lord put paganism, or Islam or scientology or whatever, on the earth for us to explore.....that's when we need to stop and realize that the devil puts these false idealogies in our path to lead us away from God. He told us that He is the Way, the only Way to the Father. And He meant it. He put Judaism into the world, and then came Jesus to set things straight. Islam is but a branch of Judaism who follow the same prophets as both Judaism and Chrisitanity, but believe that God revealed the Koran to Muhammmad through the angel Gabriel, and they also reject the trinity. Sure, the very fundamentals of these religions are very different, but I don't understand how you can say that these religions lead us away from God. In my World Religions class at school I feel that I grew in my relationship with God by learning of new ways to worship God from the perspective of different traditions and how they worship God.

You are so right! I've been on about this for a while after I took a World Religions course at my school, it really opens your eyes to different ways of worship and such. Particularily the other Abrahamic faiths like Islam. I think prayer five times a day is an awesome idea. The best way to learn from these religions though is to actually go to a mosque/synagogue/temple and see how they worship.
