Inauguration of Mahmood Mosque

The local Mosque is having their official inauguration and sent me this email. Since it does say 'and your friends' I thought to share this news with you. My last trip to their open house was very pleasant and I think it might be a good experience for you and your children to meet with a part of what a growing town like Smyrna entails, the introduction of many people of other faiths, customs and cultures to our community.

Dear Sir,
Official inauguration of Mahmood Mosque in Smyrna is scheduled for March 20th. The program is as follows:

12.30 Lunch (Indian Food)
2.00 Gathering
2.10 Introductions
2.20 Guest Presentations
3.15 Question/Answer
4.00 Thankyou

Ahmadiyya Muslim Community respectfully invite you and your friends to join us in this celebration.

I'm withholding a reaction right now on another issue, but I saw on the sign of the Higland Heights Church OF Christ that it is having a 5 hour long seminar this weekend on Islam. I'm not sure what that includes and have recieved back no replies after several attempts to contect them to ask about this meeting and its contents. I hope it is not in reaction to the mosque coming to Smyrna.

I am delighted that a new mosque is being inaugurated in Tennessee. This ,of course is the beginning of a new relationship for the neighbors as Islam and Christianity both have a common teaching to love thy neigbor. I hope and pray that as the name implies Masjid Mahmood effectively become praiseworthy by glorifying the Creator and turn out to be a beacon of peace for the neighborhood. May all neighbors feel at home when they join you at the inauguration. Spread the peace in Smyrna and all around. Congratulations for this grand inauguration.
