Civilization Jihad: Church Conversions to Mosques

[Mishael]

I feel so sorry for my Iraqi christian brothers to once again be forced to put up with Islamic barbarism. There should be a petition for Christians all across the country to buy the property from the Muslims and return it to its original function as a Church.

I think the problem lies in that when a church is converted into a mosque....it is seen as a victory or putting down of our Christian faith by devout Muslims.   That is the part I was surprised to learn in this thread....and I'm so sorry to hear it.

How did Michigan end up with so many Muslims?  Just curious...

I live near a mosque that used to be a funeral home.  Also, I have dear friends that were raised as Muslims but they don't attend mosque and the ladies don't wear head scarves either.   They also prefer our Christian company....they don't like going out with strict Muslims.

That is precisely how it is seen.   In fact, that is how mosques are seen whenever they are built.  After 9/11, the Muslims wanted to built a mosque near Ground Zero it was going to be a huge mosque and it was going to be named "the Cordova mosque" after the name of a city in Spain that that the Muslims conquered.   9/11 is viewed in Muslim circles as  victory over the US.  And they wanted a mosque with name that conveyed that sentiment.  I was glad that the deal fell through they were not allowed to build mosque on such sacred American soil.

Then Christina should make a huge outrage at this insult to our faith and to all persecuted Christians and martyrs in the Middle East.

Doesn’t matter, Islam isn’t a race it’s a religion composed of numerous different ethnic groups and races. Criticizing a religiom, its teachings, or its practices for logical reasons doesn’t equal racism. I’m not saying that Muslims shouldn’t be allowed to build mosques I’m saying they shouldn’t be allowed to convert that Church into a Mosque by the Christian community. Not to mention the fight it would cause those poor Iraqi Christians.

No one is disregarding religious liberty.

Federal law protects the right of all faith communities to build places of worship and to purchase properties without discrimination.

Given the nature of Islam and Sharia, churches should not sell property to Muslims for purposes of building a mosque.  If they want to open a 7/11, sure.   But Christians should sell church properties to other churches within mainstream Christian churches. 

Quote

The Church is not a building, it's the body of believers. Once the congregation leaves a building, it is nothing but an empty shell and can be converted into whatever the new owner desires as long as it is in line with zoning laws.

We should not enable Islam to flourish in America.  If they want to buy property adjacent to church property, they are free to do so.  But Christians should not enable a bloodthirsty rape culture like Islam by selling them a church building.

Quote

Muslims purchasing an existing church building makes good sense because it doesn't face any zoning challenges since it was previously occupied by a religious group.  

That is their problem not ours.  We should favor letting other churches not face those zoning problems.

If you were selling your house and a Muslim family offered to buy it, would you sell it to them? 

Yes, because it is not a church building.

with what we already know about what goes on inside the mosques and who owns them, they should not be allowed to build them at all...   

BTW Liberals call many things racist that doesn't have anything to do with race, this is just one example as you state.
