Church of England Vicar: Give Thanks to the God We Love, Allah

Now that the Church of England is hosting Inclusive Mosque services, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until Mecca allows a church. And then a gay bar.
Reverend Giles Goddard, vicar of St John’s in Waterloo, central London, joined in the event by reading a passage from the Bible at the ‘Inclusive Mosque’ event.
He then asked the congregation to praise ‘the god that we love, Allah’, it was reported last night.
It was organized to coincide with the run-up to International Women’s Day last weekend.
Nothing goes together quite as well as a mosque and feminism. The left is losing what little is left of its collective mind.
Rev Goddard defended his decision to hold the event, describing it as a ‘very moving’ service.
He added: ‘It is very much about St John’s being a place of welcome. We understand God as a generous God, a God who celebrates love and celebrates life.
‘We try and make sure we live that out. In that sense we feel very properly Anglican.’
Muslims understand Allah as a deity that hates, that feasts on cruelty and thrives on mass murder.
The Koran commands Muslims not to take Christians or Jews as friends and demands their domination and submission by the rule of Islamic Supremacism.
At the end of the service, the vicar read a section of Psalm 139 and said: ‘This is from the Hebrew scripture – we all share these great traditions, so let us celebrate our shared traditions, by giving thanks to the God that we love, Allah.’
I assume he didn’t read the part of 139 that says, “Depart from me therefore, ye men of blood” or “Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate Thee? And do not I strive with those that rise up against Thee?”
Or Goddard could have found some common ground by reading from the Koran, “And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them” (Quran 9:30)
Or a little lesson on a Muslim tradition that he chooses not to share.
“And be not so slack so as to cry for peace when you have the upper hand, for Allah is with you.” (Quran 47:35)
