Chrislam?  Well, this is not exactly new, but it's new to me. Perhaps some others here also have not heard of this. Full article here.Some excerpts: Of hundreds of small churches in Lagos, this likely is the only one that has both a Bible and a Qur’an on the lectern. The invocations come loudly from both. Practitioners of what the preacher calls ‘Chrislam’, fifteen hundred on some Sundays, see no religious fault line.
...
It begins each Sunday morning with Qur’anic prayer. The prayer is intense, a trance-like frenzy similar to a Pentecostal Christian service. It climaxes with a sermon hitting repeatedly on the themes of prayerfulness and on the commonality between Islam and Christianity.Sounds rather disturbing to me, actually --- especially the Pentecostalish aspects. But at least it seems to be a (relatively) benign sect --- so far. ~David D.G. |

I'm strangely more disturbed by the pentecostalist aspects.

I've been afraid of this
I really don't want them to realize they have more in common than not, they're hard enough to deal with when they hate each other.

It can't be any stranger or harder to reconcile than Sikhism, which (if I remember correctly) arose from the reconciliation of Islam and Hinduism.

Really?
I thought Sikhism was like Buddhism and came out of one mans enlightenment. Not that modern Sikhism has much to do with the first prophets revelations.

So, is Jesus the son of God or not?

So, is Jesus the son of God or not? The answer to this is a firm "maybe." |

Hmm, I thought Chrislam worshipped a man named Chris. Oh well.

Ah get real, different flavours of jesusite and the various branches of pseudo-jesusing can't even get along within the confines of their respective faiths. This is doomed to burn in a massive conflagration of pointless scriptural infighting sometime soon

I imagine that Chrislams believe that Mohammed was a prophet, but that Jesus Christ was the Son of God.
...Really, that's the only thing I can think of that would be incompatible between Christianity and Islam, and it's a relatively weak area.

I was under the impression that Sikhism was a highly reformed version of Hinduism, much like Protestantism is a reformed form of Catholicism |

Huh, I've always wondered if that would work.
