From Fox News --
A British prison has decided not to include a crucifix in the décor of its new chapel for fear of offending Muslim inmates.
The ‘multi-faith space’ at HMP Lewes is divided in two sections, according to the Daily Mail. One half-features heated footbaths for Muslim worshipers; the other side, dedicated to Christian prayer, features a removable altar and a plain wooden cross – also removable.
Plans to include the traditional Christian crucifix were erased from the chapel’s blueprints on the advice of a Muslim imam, the Daily Mail reported.
“We see this as a vastly improved facility and very much welcome the fact that the prison has an imam.” Amanda Hamblin, chair of the prison’s Independent Monitoring Board told the Mail.”
A source from the prison disagreed, reportedly telling the Mail, “It’s just the normal PC brigade poking its nose in when it isn’t needed.”
The Muslims get heated foot baths - the Christians get two pieces of wood - how about that for tolerance! But of course NOBODY would dare offend a muslim - at least if they don't want an Allah-seeking, explosive-belt wearing jihadikaze at the next mass
If the 'multi-faith space' is divided - what is wrong with a Crucifix? As a Roman Catholic - a wooden cross means nothing for me. But as we all know, for many here in the US and those abroad, attacks on Christianity have been the flavor of the day for quite some time now!
