Once Again: The Scourge of Islam…

…and of those who capitulate.

A row has broken out after a Christian group organised a day of prayer in Oxford about Muslims during Ramadan.

The Muslim Education Centre of Oxford (Meco) accused Witney-basedOpen Doors UK of preaching “evangelical propaganda”, after theChristian group held a Call to Prayer day in Oxford yesterday.

But Open Doors UK, which held the event at St Aldate’s Church,insisted it had been taken out of context, although it “regretted” anyoffence that had been caused.

A spokesman denied the meeting targeted Muslims, and said its aim was to reduce fear of Islam.

Meco chairman Dr Taj Hargey was invited on BBC Radio Oxfordyesterday to talk about the month of Ramadan, and was followed on toPhil Mercer’s show by Brother Andrew from Open Doors UK.

Dr Hargey said: “It was only then that I learned they were running a day-long Christian initiative called Call to Prayer.
