The 223rd General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA met last month in St. Louis. As I reported in a previous blog, one of the overtures of particular interest to me on their agenda dealt with interfaith relations.

Malaysia: Muslim justifies his marriage to 11-year-old by saying he wanted to marry her since she was 7
Oh, that makes it all right, eh?

Malawi: Governor says Islam is religion of violence, then apologizes for “anti-Muslim remarks”
Here we go again. This conflation is near-universal, but that doesn’t make it any more legitimate. The teachings of Islam are one thing and Muslims are another, just as the teachings of Christianity are one thing and Christians are another. Jesus said to love one’s enemies and turn the other cheek, but few Christians manage […]
