religion : IS THIS APPROPRIATE AT A 9/11 PRAYER SERVICE? [+] serious ballot by cranky created Tue Sep 12, 06 Speakers at 9/11 service say prayer wins spiritual war By Tim Hearden, Record Searchlight Newspaper September 8, 2006 Local elected officials and a pastor Thursday used a commemoration of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to wage spiritual warfare against those who would attack America. In a ceremony on the Shasta County Courthouse steps titled "One Nation Under God," Redding Mayor Ken Murray said Christians and Muslim radicals are engaged in "a war to the spiritual death of one of us." Murray said Shiite Muslims believe it's acceptable to lie, cheat, steal and kill as long as it ultimately glorifies Allah. "Folks, they're not like us," the mayor said. "They're not like us at all, and for them, their war has been going on for 1,200 years." The Rev. Jim Wilson, whose ministry, PrayNorthstate, co-sponsored the event, characterized the conflict as "a war about idolatry -- whether or not we are sold out to the living God or sold out to some substitute for him." As for his comments about Islam, Murray said he draws a distinction between "mainstream" practitioners of the religion and Shiites, whom he said were "wing nuts." "Since the Crusades, there's been a spiritual battle for the hearts and minds of people," he said. "I think it's a historical reality, and the rubber's meeting the road again. Either the Judeo-Christian philosophy will survive or the Islamic philosophy will survive." * * * * * * * * Does this seem like appropriate behavior at a public event whose purpose the article said is "to promote prayer as a way of alleviating fear and anger over the attacks?" Yes, it's always appropriate to spew hate at other religions while commemorating 9/11 No, this was out of line Another brainwashed Bush lover - see ballot 93275 Ballot #101776 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
