Elmo shills for the “bagels ‘n’ samosas” scam: Guess who’s all for “interfaith” comingling? None other than Dr. Mohamed Elmasry, the same guy who told a TV audience that every Israeli adult is fair game for an exploding shahid and the man behind the Islamist bid to push the sharia envelope by silencing Mark Steyn and Maclean's Magazine. Here's Elmo, all sweetness and light, from his new bully pulpit, e-rag the Canadian Charger:
I just attended a two-day conference in Qatar organized by the Doha International Centre for Interfaith Dialogue.
The Qur’an (109: 1-6) addresses those who do not believe in Islam:
"(O Muhammad tell the unbelievers;) O unbelievers, I worship not what you worship nor do you worship what I worship. And I shall never worship what you worship, nor will you worship what I worship. You have your religion (din) and I have my religion (din)." Al-Kafirun, 109:1-6.
No other religion makes it as clear as Islam does that its adherents must respect all other religions. Religion here is any and every set of beliefs or values practiced by a group of people; it does not matter how different from Islam it is.
For example, in narrating the story of Joseph in Egypt the Qur’an refers in (12:76) to "the din of the (Egyptian) King."
But Islam appeals to the intellect and the soul of every person to seek the Truth and it offers the Qur’an as the Way to the Truth. But people have the right to accept or reject…
It goes on in this vein for many more paragraphs. Cut to the chase: can anyone read this stuff and not see that when Muslims play the “interfaith” card, it’s because they want to
A)    Make credulous infidels think that Islam is lovely at best and benign at worst; and
B)    Make credulous infidels convert, er, sorry, revert, to the one true faith?
The only reason I would ever go to any of these interfaith confabs would be to raise a verboten topic of conversation--Israel. I’d love to see the reaction of the samosa-scarfers when I ask what they think about Zionism. It would be the equivalent of farting in church (or shul, or the mosque--hey, I can be “Abrahamic” too).

LOL farting in church or shul can be suppressed when sitting standing or even kneeling like Catholics and Anglicans.

Not so much when you have to kneel and then bend over to smash your forehead into the floor numerous times with your ass in the air at the mosque.
