Some Christians Slam D.C. Muslim Prayer Day as 'Islamizing' - washingtonpost.com
September 26, 2009
The organizers of a Muslim day of prayer scheduled to take place Friday in front of the U.S. Capitol have come under attack from some conservative Christians.
We can't claim religious freedom for ourselves and deny it for others.
Evangelicals ought to understand this.
If we are going to confront religions on the basis of truth, let us do so in the public, not by denying people's basic rights to free expression and religious freedom.
Are there differences in our faiths? Of course. Do we feel we have a message for our Muslim friends and neighbors? I believe we do?
However, our right to be heard hinges on our commitment to uphold the rights of others to be heard.
That seems like a no-brainer to me.
