Prayer mats have been removed from a Pakistan Madrassa and co-ed prayer rooms have been set up to cater to its mostly Anglican students.
Daily prayers at the Karachi Islamic Business and Enterprise Madrassa, where 75 per cent of pupils are Anglican, are not based specifically on the Koran, but may make reference to it alongside other religious texts.
None of the meat served at the school, which has over 1,000 pupils aged between 11 and 19, is halal.
Not very plausible, is it?
Yet no-one is particularly surprised that the exact opposite is taking place in a UK Church of England school; you can read all about it here, but I would like to highlight one sentence:
Mr McAteer, who pointed out that the Church of England describes itself as ‘a faith for all faiths’, told the Sunday Times: ‘The values we support are very much Christian values of honesty, integrity, justice.’
I don’t know how McAteer came up with the laughably incoherent idea that the Church of England is ‘a faith for all faiths’. An institution that claims to be able to encompass “faiths” whose beliefs are logically contradictory (after all, Jesus cannot be both divine as Christianity teaches and not divine as Islam teaches) ends up being a faith with no faith.
Come to think of it, maybe McAteer is on to something.
I guess the idea is that because its taxpayer funded it should support all faiths. Which goes to show that we Americans were right to separate church and state. We may have Mosques being built over here, but at least our churches aren’t emptying out and being turned into Mosques!!!!
Also, over here going to church is almost an act of rebellion against the government, rather than compliance to it, which makes it sexier.
wrong!
But its still a British denomination, so I think my point still stands. Now if you find a Southern Baptist church being turned into a Mosque, I’ll admit I was wrong.
Plus, New York might as well be Pakistan. Damn Yankees.

Ok I guess you were right. Its from Obama’s denomination, however, so it might as well have been a Mosque all along.
The building is not really the church. People are the church. When two or three Christians worship together, our Lord will be in their midst. When a church building ceased to be a worshipping community, it will no longer be considered a church. After the sale of a deconsecrated church building (just a human building, no longer a house of God), the building can be used for other purposes, e.g. a restaurant, library, theatre, Mormon church, or Mosque.
Of course you have churches in the U.S. turned into mosques.
Until I reached the punchline, I was about to look for flying pigs.
Then I realised what you were actually saying.
Keep up the good work!
