Muslim Prayer Rooms
Open in Catholic Schools
Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries] "Education Minister Laurel Broten of Ontario,
Canada gave the thumbs-up to a Catholic high school in London to open a Muslim
prayer room. Mother Teresa Catholic secondary school in London is opening the
prayer room for about 25 Muslim kids. Broten said, "Obviously, that is something
they think will make students feel welcome in their school."

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "But they have to pray to Mary."
"Idolatry - the worship of something created as opposed to the worship of the
Creator Himself. Scores of references to idolatry appear in the Old Testament.
This shows that idolatry probably was the greatest temptation our spiritual
forefathers faced. While we find bowing down to a statue no temptation, they
apparently slipped into idolatry constantly. So serious was this sin that the
prohibition against the making and worshiping of images was included near the
beginning of the Ten Commandments (Ex.
20:4–6).
Israel’s ancient neighbors believed there were many gods. They worshiped
whatever gods were necessary at a given time. An equally erroneous notion was
that these gods either were the idols themselves or were represented by idols.
Some people probably insisted that the idol was only an aid to worship and not
the object of worship itself. But this distinction must have been hard to keep
in mind. That is why the Bible strictly forbids the making of images of any
kind—because they themselves receive the worship that God jealously reserves for
Himself..." Nelson’s new illustrated Bible dictionary. 1995 (R. F. Youngblood,

Response to comment [from other]: "What's your impression of this? What do you think?"
I think Roman Catholics
are closer in their beliefs to Islam
than they are to historical, biblical Christianity.
