Weird.

[maylor]

Very funny, and illustrates the stark difference between Christianity and Islam. And our so called Christian president said Muslims and Christians pray to the same god.

Huh?

"Further bolstering the findings, Kohut noted that fewer than 6% of respondents physically attacked field interviewers during the survey.


Although a majority 87% of respondents agreed that "The world should be brought to submission under global Lutheran conquest and eternal perfect rule," there was a great deal of disagreement on the means to accomplish it. More than 95% supported "pancake breakfasts" and "popcorn fundraisers," but support dropped to less than 80% for "cow tipping" and "T-P'ing infidel houses." Support dropped even more dramatically for more violent means of conquest, such as "suicide bombing" (28%), "decapitation" (24%), and "running over Presbyterians with my Ski-Doo" (23%)."

It's a joke...

It's a joke...
That was obvious in the very first paragraph. I kept thiking to myself that this must have been ripped off from the Onion or something!


Considering the canadian islamist poll, and the understated media attention ir received, that was done last year, this article was absolutely masterful satire!

"Taken as a whole, the results show that Midwest Lutherans emphatically support a moderate, mainstream path to world domination," said Kohut. "These folks are well-assimilated into the broad fabric of American society, and unless you are Presbyterian, there is probably very little here to cause concern."




:D

[RadMan]

Unfortunately it gives the media more ammunition to dream up more ways to make the conservative, midwesterners look like right wing radicals.

[synger]

The comments are almost as funny as the article.

[rockytrails]

World Mission, POBLO co-sponsor 'Jesus and Muslims' conference

Ugh...

My father told me about going to a Lutheran church (LCMS) several years ago that had a Jewish rabbi speak.
If the church I attend ever has a Jew, Muslim, Hindu, NON CHRISTIAN, etc. come and speak, I will no longer be a member of my church.

[MarkRohfrietsch]

Aah... the Midwest...

Had the survey been done up here in Canada, it would be NonD Fundies, that are trying to dominate us not the Presbyterians.:D^_^

We need militants from the midwest to help us gain a foot hold up here!^_^:P:D

Here's the full article.

Can you imagine what an encounter between Jesus and a Muslim person would be like today? Do you think Jesus would unleash a barrage of condemnation? Or do you think He'd ask for an invitation to dine in a Muslim's home?
Those questions and others will be explored at the first-ever Friendship of Jesus and Muslims Conference, April 3-6 at the Crowne Plaze (airport) Hotel in Detroit. Open to all LCMS members, the conference is co-sponsored by LCMS World Mission and People of the Book Lutheran Outreach (POBLO), a Dearborn Heights, Mich.-based mission society that reaches out to Muslims in the United States and South Asia.
The conference is designed to “raise the level of conversation, direction, motivation, and preparation for sharing the love of Jesus for Muslim friends and neighbors,” according to an informational brochure. It will include plenary sessions and workshops on a variety of topics related to Muslims led by missionaries and others experienced in relationship-building ministries with Muslims.
Plenary presentations include:

“Christian Engagement with Muslims: A Panoramic Survey,” “The Muslim View of Jesus,” and “Some Models for De-Radicalizing Christian-Muslim Relations,”led by Dr. Roland Miller, longtime missionary to India; current professor at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada; and author of Muslim Friends: Their Faith and Feeling and Muslims and the Gospel: Bridging the Gap.
“Training Manual for Ministry Among Muslims,” with Dr. Khurram Khan, executive director of POBLO. The mission society has started 17 ethnic congregations in the U.S.
“The Experience of the Michigan District,” with District President William Hoesman.
“What Muslims Believe and Do,” led by Dr. Jim Dretke, former LCMS missionary to Africa and parish pastor in Saudi Arabia.
“Reaching out to Muslims in North America,” led by a panel of POBLO personnel. The conference also includes:

an opening-night banquet with LCMS President Gerald B. Kieschnick, who will serve as keynote speaker.
Bible studies with Dr. Herb Hoefer, former LCMS missionary to India who currently serves as a theology professor and missions chair at Concordia University, Portland., Ore., and area director for India and Sri Lanka with LCMS World Mission.
a cross-cultural experience in greater Detroit, home of the largest Islamic community in the country, that includes an ethnic meal.
a choice of attending a Tamil, Urdhu, or Arabic worship service. Registration, which includes all meals, is $150 before Jan. 15 or $175 before Feb. 15. Students may register for $100 before Jan. 15 or $125 before Feb. 15.
Online registration is available at www.lcmsworldmission.org/conferences (http://www.lcmsworldmission.org/conferences). For more information, contact LCMS World Mission at (800) 433-3954 or mission.info@lcms.org.

While I have no problem with this type of conference or the purpose of reaching out to Muslims with the Gospel (our district has such a ministry in Montreal), I do have a concern with the "choice of attending a Tamiil, Urdhu, or Arabic worship service". Is that a Christian/Lutheran service in those languages, or is it a Muslim service?

That doesn't sound too bad. When the title of your post said :

"Well maybe now they can exchange ideas",

I got a little worried.
