What Would Jesus Do?

Well... Looks like the Jews know better than the Christians, in some cases...


AUSTIN — Organizers of an interfaith Thanksgiving celebration scrambled to find a new location for the annual event after an evangelical Baptist megachurch objected to Muslims worshiping on its property.

Hyde Park Baptist Church notified Austin Area Interreligious Ministries this week that it wouldn't allow the event scheduled for Sunday at Hyde Park's sports complex known as the Quarries.

The Thanksgiving event is in its 23rd year and invites Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Bahais and others to worship together. Austin's largest synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel, has now offered to host the celebration, organizers said.

WOW, so muslims are not allowed to worship the same God, but other religious groups worshipping different idols are ok... What is this decision based on. I dont mean to slurr anyones faith, just trying to figure out what is his objection based on...
