and though I in no way think their motives are pure, still it was a very nice gesture. I heard on the local SLC news this story last night:
In the town of St. Charles, 25 miles west of St. Louis, Mo., they have opened the doors of one of their LDS chapels for muslims to come and worship on Fridays.
The muslims had been asking other churches for help with a place for Friday worship, and the mo's heard about it and stepped up to the plate. The stake pres. was on TV and said he immediately said yes, had no hesitation, but I rather doubt that. Surely he would have to get approval from the GA's, and in trying so hard to be liked and accepted and mainstream, plus win votes for Romney in 2012, I was not surprised they said yes.
These muslims were very grateful.They pull out their blankets and worship on their knees in the gym. If for some reason the gym is being used they use the primary room, but before they worship there they cover all pictures on the walls of Christ. The mo's are fine with that. It ended this way in these exact words: " And so they continue to come week after week praising God and thanking him for this place of worship."
Then the muslim spokesperson then said;" It was a blessing for us that we have bigger place. God bless mormon church, they open the door for us and we are very pleased, very happy, and God will give them reward."
I have no doubt the mo's are hoping this story hits the national news.
