THE LORD'S PRAYER....
Do you think it would be wrong of me to post the Lord's Prayer on a Muslim/Islamic Forum?
This is a debate that has been created in our school forum.
Any information would be appreciated....
Thank You...

No, I am seriously not being disrespectful. I ask this because someone posted a Muslim Prayer on our Christian Forum and another Christian said it was not acceptable, or respectful. The students ganged up on this Christian and said that he is a biggot and that there is nothing wrong with other saying prayers from other religions.....So, I am trying to find other unbiased views because I am curious, that is my only intention here! Again, thank you!

It would be in bad taste.

First off, a muslim church is called a Mosque. Second off, what do you think would happen if I went into your church and started reading out of the satanic bible? I like how you preface you sentence with 'all due respect', even though the hypothetical action wouldn't be in the least respectful.
Of course it's certainly not as bad to post whatever you want in a forum, but it still seems like spamming to me. What exactly do you expect to accomplish by posting that in a Muslim forum or any other forum for that matter? It makes absolutely no sense and is wasting bandwidth with something irrelevent to what the forum board was probably meant to discuss.

i'm doubtful it would go over well. though muslims claim that the revere jesus as a 'prophet' and a 'great teacher' and a 'holy man'.... they clearly have a severe objection to Him being called God incarnate. They say 'Muhammed' was God's holy prophet. While, i would be respectful of their religion even though i'm all for Jesus..... i'm doubtful the Lord's Prayer would be a big hit on an all islamic forum.
You know, overseas, in predominately muslim countries, christians are killed for their faith. And mulsims who convert are masacred and/or cut off from their society. So, yeah, mentioning Jesus as God wouldn't be a big hit, nor would be saying the Lord's prayer. â¥
*edit* girl above me has a good point. It's about being respectful of religious differences; not judgment or condemnation.

I don't know what would "happen" but ask yourself this: If you were worshiping in your church with fellow like minded folk and a Muslim came in and started praying out loud, would you find it disrespectful?
Every group of people throughout history has had a set of beliefs that differ from others. Posting the Lord's prayer on a muslim oriented website isn't going to change anyone's religious beliefs, nor is lecturing or trying to sway them. Respect for difference is the answer to peace.

Whether you as a non-Muslim will be allowed to enter a mosque depends on where you are. Regardless, you'll have to dress appropriately and perform ablutions to be allowed in the prayer area, and you won't be able to speak out because there is always a designated leader for prayer, usually an imam, a preacher-type. Individuals do not speak out. They follow the imam in prayer. As a woman, you'd be in a separate section from the men as Muslims do not mix genders in the mosque. If you spoke out as you mention in such a situation, the women would likely think you're ridiculous, titter embarrassedly for your ignorance, and ask you to behave properly. If you didn't, someone would escort you out.

Personally, I think that it would be wrong. As a follower of Christ, you are to be an example for the world. You wouldn't make a very good example if you go over to another religions sanctuary and act is such a manner. You action should be used to benefit God and uplift individuals wishing to enter into the kingdom of Heaven. It does not benefit God nor does it bring anyone closer to him by speaking the Lord's prayer in such a method. Thank you and God bless.

I think its a respect thing...in turn I wouldn't expect them to come into my church and recite their prayers. Although I too am of the Christian faith I have come to the realization that you can never force anyone to convert to your beliefs...it is only through the work and power of the Holy Spirit that they will be drawn. It is through the life that we live and our examples of Christianity that they will see that our faith is alive and real.

I think it would be disrespectful to Muslim/Islamic people. Also if you are not part of that religion then why would you want to go in there in the first place to make a scene

Don't know what would happen, but that would be pretty rude. Imagine if someone came into your church and said aloud a prayer of their own in their own language. It would interrupt your service and you would think they were an @ss for doing it.

muslim don't got church, they got mosque. Muslim and Christian can't get along like mix with dog and cat. In most Arab Country, they not allowed non muslim to go to their mosque, if they finds out your christian expect a bad ju ju.

I would refuse to take part in the debate on the ground's that it promote's racial conflict. Sound's like the fear campaign has been adopted by the education system.
