I just watched LIVING WITH THE ENEMY on SBS. The story about Ben the Aussie going to live with Lidia and Ahmed the muslims. Lidia is an Aussie and was raised Catholic and converted to Islam. Ahmed was born in Saudi Arabia.
What did I learn?
- Muslim women wont shake hands with a male person their not related to. (Very rude).
- When husband and wife muslims pray in their own house, the wife has to pray behind her husband. (Women are not treated as equals even in their own house).
- Christians are not allowed to visit Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Why? Because you have to be muslim to be allowed.
- Mosques can be built all over Australia but we can't build a Church in Saudi Arabia.
- The Quran tells muslims to kill people.
- In the mosque women are behind the curtain at the back. It's their own area. Why? Because the men have to be in a different section. Why? To give women privacy. This is the reason they cited. The real reason I believe is not to cause desire in the men.
- When they went shopping they visited a halal butcher to buy lamb shoulder. Ben wasn't consulted. What if he wanted pork chops?
- They went to Bondi to do an "Aussie thing called surfing". Lidia went swimming in her full Islamic clothing then when she came out of the water she placed a towel around her depicting the Australian flag.
Solved! Go to Solution.

For starters it is a breach against 1st COMMANDMENT.
"I don't bow down to them or serve them"

I didn't write that article. It is written by a representative of the Catholic Church.
1Co 10:28 But if any man shall say unto you, etc. If some one points out that a part is from an idol's sacrifice, then it is not to be eaten; not because the food is sinful, but because the conscience of others might be offended.

Some Priests write stuff to appease other religions but you can't deny what is written in the Bible.

Have you ever asked your own parish priest about this? Perhaps you should.

I think you are mistaken................. it is not sacrificed to Allah/God. It is killed for food.

There is only One God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Atheists wouldn't agree with that.
They have to agree otherwise the offence of "Eternal Sin" is committed and they will end up in hell forever!
The Catholic Church, as well as the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches believe blasphemy against the Holy Spirit to be an unforgivable sin (i.e., eternal sin).

So what happens to all those tall, blonde, Scandinavian looking aliens when they die?Do they all go to hell, because It's a pretty fair bet they don't believe in One God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

I follow the Bible not the Priest.
Ask a Muslim to convert to Catholic, if the God is allegedly the same why not? The Muslim will say that Allah is HIS God.

So you are not, in fact a catholic, you only follow Catholic teaching when it agrees with your own interprettion of the Bible.

Ask a Jehovah's Witness or Seventh Day Adventist to convert to Catholicism - same God, different beliefs.

No. A Catholic doesn't have to consult a Priest to make himself believe.
