Episcopal Church defrocks "Muslim-Christian" priest
And so the heretical Ann Holmes Redding saga has come to an end. Yet lest you accuse the Episcopal church of turning its back on its trademark "liberalism" and "tolerance," consider the fate of this woman -- of course in this analogy, she would have to be a man -- if she were a Muslim cleric living in the Islamic world and then announced that, alongside Islam, she was a practicing Christian? Considering that Muhammad said, "Whoever changes his religion, kill him, "defrocking" would be the last of her worries.
"Episcopal Priest Ann Holmes Redding has been defrocked," by Janet I. Tu for the Seattle Times, April 1:
The Episcopal Church has defrocked Ann Holmes Redding, the Seattle Episcopal priest who announced in 2007 that she is both Christian and Muslim.
Two whole years. In the Muslim analogy, she would have been "dealt" with much sooner than that.
Bishop Geralyn Wolf of Rhode Island, who has disciplinary authority over Redding, informed the priest of her decision in a letter today.
Wolf found Redding to be "a woman of utmost integrity and their conversations over the past two years have been open, honest and respectful," according to a press release from the Diocese of Rhode Island.
In the Muslim analogy, the letter would consist primarily of words such as kafir, munafiq, and murtad -- infidel, hypocrite, and apostate, respectively -- three appellations liable to get one either subjugated or killed in Dar al-Islam.
"However, Bishop Wolf believes that a priest of the Church cannot be both a Christian and a Muslim."
"I am very sad," Redding had said Tuesday. "I'm sad at the loss of this cherished honor of having served as a priest."
But you got your life, and now you can go and be a true Muslim(a). Read it all for more details and background.

How insane for anyone to claim to be both Muslim and Christian when the Quran has taught Jesus didn't die on the cross but that God tricked another to die in his place, the Quran has taught Christians worship 3 gods and Mary as a god, it taught the Bibles of the Jews and the Christians are false, it taught God do battle with the Jews and Christians for they said the Messiah is the Son of God
Whereas Jesus said he is the Son of God John 10-36, Christianity only came into existence after Jesus went to the cross and rose from the dead not before. Millions of Christians were slaughtered by the Muslims and they continue to be slaughtered to this day as in Africa.
You can not stand on opposite sides at the same time, you cannot be for heaven and hell or truth and falsehoods
Jesus taught love your neighbour, Muhammad taught wage war with the non believer as is your neighbour.
No prophet was sent after the Messiah, and Muhammad taught hate the non believer, kill them where you find them, strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter from among them
How insane is it for anyone to be both, when you can only be one or the other
You either believe Jesus died on the cross and that he taught he is the Son of God or you don't. Jesus taught how to experience God and Islam taught hate those who do not believe in Muhammad.
