When Alia Kamareddine first settled down in Oxford, the nearest mosque at which she could worship was in Halifax which is a 2-hour drive.

Kamareddine regretted only being able to go to mosque once a year, and as more Muslims moved into the Nova Scotia community, finding a place to worship became more and more of a relevant topic.

Thankfully, she and the other muslims in her community now have a religious space closer to home, even though it is a little unconventional. The Trinity United Church now rents out one of their community halls so that Kamareddine, along with the other members of the Muslim Community Group, have a place to worship.

The rent, however, is really just a nominal fee to cover the utilities used by the group. Since the mosque within a church first started sometime in the last few months, it has brought the two religious communities together and created a space for growth and learning, says CBC.

The churchs gesture is especially significant since the 10 Muslim families who attend the mosque have been meeting once a day for Ramadan, the holy month of fasting and the church members, they say, have been very open and accommodating.

Not sure where this passive, everything goes Jesus comes from. Jesus is clearly offended by subverting the Lord's house for non-Godly purposes considering he gets violent on the merchants who are invading the temple.

If they open up a synagogue as well they'll really be living up to their name.

Nobody believes that. Christians don't believe that God spoke to Muhammad. Muslims don't believe that God was incarnated in human flesh and died for our sins. They are fundamentally different objects of worship who told their prophets different things. The desert demon Allah should not be damning souls inside a house of God.

Which one is right though? :v How do you know? The Muslims think they're right too, how are you going to tell them they're not?

No, they're the same entity with slightly different dressing. If there actually is a God, it's essentially the same one worshipped by all monotheistic religions.

Actually the literal pillars of each faith matter. There is an impossible difference between God incarnating as Jesus to die on the cross and what the Muslims believe about God rescuing Jesus from being killed on the cross. That is not "different dressings", that is something completely theologically different.

so? unless the Quran says Jesus the Son of God that died for our sins, it's not respecting and paying tribute and worship to the correct Jesus.

the whole claim of Jesus is that He is the Son of God that died for our sins and resurrected 3 days later. you can't call him a great teacher or prophet or holy man and take out the resurrection and dying for our sins part and call it the same Jesus. thats not how that works.
