{UAH} BUT I HEARD CHRISTIANS PRAYING TO ALLAH IN CHURCH.

If this Daily monitor news headline is serious (see photo attached), then somebody please tell the petitioner that if he/she can travel to any Christian Church in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Jerusalem, Egypt Coptic church, Bethlehem or even just nearby at the Juba Cathedral in South Sudan, they will find Fathers, Bishop's and nuns singing "Allah Akbar" in Church.

I have heard it myself, including at the grand Cathedral of Khartoum some years back when I worked as a UN volunteer in an international peace-keeping mission. In short, I noticed that a few people, both Christians and Muslims, are spewing ignorance-based religious hatred against each other as if the two religions pray to "different God's". But in reality what I heard in that Khartoum Church is probably the simplest way to understand that whether its Christianity, Judaïsm (Jews), or Islam, we all worship the same God. And this regardless of the language being used to pray. If anyone needs physical proof, I can call up a South Sudanese Bishop friend of mine with his white collar for a demonstration of a real Christian sermon in Arabic. Saying "Allah" in a Christian prayer is the right thing in an Arabic speaking Church, and it is completely normal in all the above-mentioned places which include the birthplace of Christianity. It is religious extremists from all sides who want to create empty reasons for fights and persecution by raising non-existent differences for their own ulterior ill motives against people of different faiths. So let us all stop being stupid. Whenever Christians pray in Arabic, they pray to Allah. And there is absolutely no problem with that whatsoever anywhere ever. On the contrary, it is an eye-opener against blatant religious bigotry and ridiculous religious sectarianism.

Shame to the devil!
