Jews will worship in a mosque as Muslims will worship in a synagogue but both refuse to worship in a church--why??

Because churches have statues while synagogues and mosques don't. Besides, Christianity has clearly deviated from the path of Abraham. Christians don't respect the law of Torah, when even Jesus was bound to follow the Torah. Christianity worships Jesus, Mary and saints, while Islam and Judaism worship God alone.

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim - In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Hello. Both Muslims and Jews have strong prohibitions against images. In most churches, save for certain very simple ones, images abound, such as statues that they claim are representative of Mary, and crucifixes that they claim are Jesus, and pictures and statues of many dead "saints" and such. It is distasteful for a Muslim or a Jew to worship in the presence of images. In the time of Muhammad, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him, the Ka'aba, which was a place originally dedicated to God, contained over 300 idols to various gods. There were pictures that were supposed to be of Abraham and Ishmael, peace be upon them, and others from history and legend. These idols were cleansed from the Ka'aba, completely destroyed, and you will not find such things in a mosque. Allah forbade the image makers in the strongest terms. So if I were to come across a simple church, say a Quaker meeting house, or some similar building free of images, I would not have any difficulty praying there. And Allah knows best.
I pray that Allah guides you to that which is best in this world and the next. Ameen.
Fi Aman Allah,
Nancy Umm Abdel Hamid

Because they have a statue of Jesus dead on a cross, which they pray to. Whilst Muslims and Jews pray directly to the Creator only.
Oh, by the way Jews worship in a synagogue, not a mosque.

Not sure where you are getting these 'facts' from.
Muslims will not worship in a synagogue. And I somehow doubt that many Jews would feel either safe or comfortable entering a mosque...

Rev Kip - The moon God, WTF? and you're a non secular chief? Explains lots concerning the approach of a lot of Christians available... *Shakes Head* Do you no longer be conscious of that Muslims (and many Jews) hint the origins of Islam back to the 1st newborn of Abraham, who God additionally suggested could the be the father of a great human beings? So do you carry it against Jesus that his dad and mom weren't christian? when you consider that Mohammed based the religion, of direction he became born right into a various one. and those loopy reference you made concerning the pagan daughters he allegedly worshiped, you will possibly desire to study slightly extra. Mohommed incredibly denouced all scripture concerning them as "The Satanic Verses" and suggested such ideals had no place in a monotheistic relgion. anyhow, directly to answering the question. remember, I talk of the wider Christian approach, and not the incredibly faith itself which preaches tolerance of others... Christianity has on no account enjoyed different religions. to comprise Judaism. anybody bear in mind the Inquisition? Or the actuality that Pope John Paul II admitted that the church bore some duty for the holocaust using fact of it is intolerence of Jews? Ever heard the age previous tale that we use the blood of a christian harmless to make our passover matzah? Christians choose for to piggy back off of our faith so as that they have got a love hate relationship with us, yet usually used can not denounce us using fact they did borrow our God and not any incorrect way around. The straight away out hate for Muslims comes from the actuality that whilst Jews in basic terms might desire to get with this methodology, Islam became shaped after the loss of life and hoopla of Jesus. we don't choose for to grandfather clause him in, yet they outright rejected him. Oh, that and Christians seem an intollerant lot as that's (lots to Jesus's chagrin, i'm specific).

I strongly suggest that if you do not mean to offend, look a the definitions you're using.
ALL THREE (mosques, synagogues & churchs) like Temples are words to describe Sacred places (not necessarily for specific religions).
It's down to language.

Probably one of the main reason is the statues and the paintings in the churches,strictly forbidden in Judaism and Islam and another one is 'One God' issue,no trinity accepted
Have a nice day
