France - Catholic Students at the Mosque
The young French Catholics no longer go to mass. What can be done? Simply encourage them to learn more about Islam. Such is the initiative of a French Catholic school.

Just one thing. I work amongst Christians, a few Jews, Muslims and a vast quantity of unbelievers. One thing I have noticed with regard to devout Muslim colleagues is that when they know you are a practicing Christian, that you attend mass, try to be merciful, that you pray, that you read about Christian affairs and respect most creeds, they then tend to be much more respectful towards you. I think what it is is that eventhough in their eyes you still might be considered as the infidel, in a way they regard you as playing in the same league: the league of believing in God (in Only One and True God). It just goes to show that if you are unashamed of your religion, a relationship of mutual respect can be attained. This being said I am not one at work to go ramming my beliefs down the throats of my fellow colleagues but I am not ashamed of saying that I am a practicing Catholic and that having faith in God works and that hence without doubt God is amongst us at all times.
