They both worship the SAME god. The petty bickering between these 'followers of God' makes them look like children. They all need to GROW UP!If there is a god he must be absolutely despairing at seeing his children killing each other in his name.

I can't disagree with any of that. Still doesn't answer why the Church of England would rather have the expense to maintain vacant properties or see the rot instead of allow them to be put to good use. Btw: doesn't the self appointed "Muslim Council of Britain" represent Muslim worshipers in England?
From what I've heard from muslims, the Council of Muslims are pretty much self appointed and don't speak for the majority of mosques. As to the question you asked, I know the CofE support the Orthodox and Russian Orthodox church, I even went to a Russian Orthodox service in the local CofE cathedral. It's a start, baby steps but it's a start!
theusername: Shia,sunni or any other is not a matter of concern you can not stop the growth rate strike of muslims in the world
All religions will die out eventually. History has shown us that the more educated, the more stable and the wealthier a society becomes the less people need or believe in religion.
Hopefully there will come a time when humans are all very well educated and all societies will be advanced so religion will have no part to play.

You must think what you done for your own religion first before talking about others.Have you played any contribution to grow your family rate?I am sure not
galrads: I've read where more people in Britain attend mosques than the church of England. according to some figures, more muslims in England attend church once a week than Anglicans do.
According to some census, the number of Christians in England and Wales has fallen by more than 4million since 2001, while the number of non-believers more than doubled to one in four of the population. Certainly, this must mean a lot of empty church buildings.
I've read where the Church of England said that while it would allow its buildings to be used by worshippers from other Christian denominations, it could not allow them to be used for worshipping other faiths. What!!!!!! Some would call that outrageous discrimination.
Question" Given this and other supporting reasons, shouldn't Muslims receive a share of the privileged status of the church of England instead of having their places of worship attacked?
should they receive a Share of the Loot? Might as well! Everyone else does!

RayfromUSA: A more pertinent question in whether or not there should be any state religion at all.
you have a good question. However, while state religion exists, I believe everyone should share and benefit equally. So, why are Muslims excluded from the Church of England and representation in England's government?
@ Glitch101 ... Yes, please tell them galrads said to fix it right. That ought to work.
[[Glitch101: Galrads; Well, we do profess to desire a separation of church and state here in the USA. I think it would be a good idea If England and Iran did the same thing.
Oh I'll get Parliament to put it to the vote then shall I. Perhaps if I mention your name they'll pass it.
As for allowing other religions into the C of E, only a Catholic would think that one up!]]
When Christians want to enter Mosques they must follow their rules (women must wear a veil, everybody take out their shoes ..) We are not even allowed to visit La Mecque, that sacred earth of them ... (we are considered impure as pigs) .. so WHAT ??? where is the respect what is this religion of supposed peace and love still showing to the face of the world intolerance and violence !!! I feel sorry for Dear Old England, for my beautiful Country and the rest of Europe as well .. we keep opening widely our Churches doors to everybody that wants to pray in and don't ask anything in return.. think about it .. People should worship first the countries that allowed them to enter their territories and have a modern decent life, then think that the REAL GOD is not MUSLIM CHRISTIAN OR JEW OR ELSE, HE IS SIMPLY GOD, THE ONLY ONE AND THE ETERNAL!!!
Thanks for commenting. I believe that is a positive "NO". Seems a shame to me to let all those beautiful but abandoned buildings in England go to waste.
