Do only Christians pray in Christian church

Few days there was exceptionally long interview with Dr. Farish Ahmad Noor on the Dutch TV where he could step by step tell his view on the modern world, his personal experience in searching own identity as a muslim migrant in modern European society, and process of growing in choosing true moderation with out abandonment of of own identity. 

Fascinating intelligent and definitely in much aspects bridge-builder in his views and attitude, probably not a person who is appreciated by any side where world is divided in to them and us.

Oh yes as he said there was moment he went to church to pray for souls of innocent people victims of war brutality.

So I would say, remember his name, next time you bump against it, it might be the most interesting what you can read in the papers or internet at that moment.

And trust me on one thing one who wants to antagonize will antagonize while one whose heart is heart full compassion will share with you only compassion no religion or background will make us different in this aspect w are all same.

Quote from F A Noor:

"What then is the true ‘moderate’ Muslim to do? Should members of this dwindling tribe still exist, they need to remember that the true moderate is one who condemns tyranny and injustice that occurs before his very eyes without fear or favour. While it is imperative that moderate Muslims should condemn the barbarity of radical groups without feeling that this somehow compromises his or her faith and identity; it is equally vital for him or her to speak the truth to power and to condemn the blatant injustices and oppression meted out by his government."
