Residents in England are in an uproar over a flyer they received from the Church of England. In an apparent attempt to please everybody — what postmodernism would deem “inclusion” — the flyer announced that the church would host a joint birthday party for Jesus Christ and the prophet Muhammad.
As reported by World Net Daily, “The ‘Milad, Advent and Christmas Celebration’ took place Sunday, Dec. 3, at All Saints Church in Kingston upon Thames and was organized with the Kingston Inter-Faith Forum and the South London Inter-Faith Group.”
The flyer mentioned that the event was “marking the birthday of Prophet Muhammad and looking forward to the birthday of Jesus.”
It continued with the date, time, and location of the event, and then said, “With provision for prayer at Asr and Maghrib and followed by the cutting of the birthday cake and Rizwan’s ‘High Tea.’”
As previously noted, people weren’t too happy about this “all-inclusive” measure. WND reported that Adrian Hilton, publisher of Archbishop Cranmer, slammed this particular party.

“Note how this event is ‘Marking the birthday of Prophet Muhammad,’ but not looking forward to the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God,” he said.
“Muhammad gets his prophethood, while Jesus gets neither his prophethood nor his priesthood; neither his kingship nor his messiahship. It’s the exalted Prophet Muhammad along with plain old Jesus, because to have added any of his claims to divinity would, of course, have alienated many Muslims (if they hadn’t already been alienated by the haram celebration), which wouldn’t have been very interfaith or sensitively missional, would it?”
He wasn’t finished there, though. Hilton noted that this church acknowledging Muhammad as the “Prophet” is no small thing.
“Every time a church accords Muhammad the epithet ‘Prophet,’ they are rejecting the crucifixion, denying the resurrection of Christ, and refuting that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, for Muhammad denied all of these foundational tenets of the Christian faith,” Hilton.
This isn’t the first time, however, that pluralistic England has made an attempt to intertwine Christianity and Islam.
Earlier this year, in a service held at St. Mary’s Episcopal in Glasgow, a Muslim woman read a passage from the Quran stating that Jesus was not the Son of God.
The sad thing is, though, this was read on the Feast of the Epiphany — a feast that “celebrates the revelation of God incarnate as Jesus Christ.”
Postmodernism has done a lot to hurt today’s society, and now we are seeing words like “inclusion” creep into the church. Make no mistake about it: Christianity and Islam are not the same religion.
The God of the Bible and Allah are not the same, despite what many postmodernists will tell you. It’s a core tenant of the Islamic faith, in fact, that Jesus is not God, and that he didn’t die on the cross.
To mix the two religions, like this church did, does not help ease relations. This is nothing more than an attempt to please Muslims in an area that has seen an uptick in the Muslim population.
It’s apparent that, especially in England, Islam has taken control of the wheel, and Christianity has been told to take the backseat.
