Putin spends Orthodox Christmas in Damascus.
Russian President Vladimir Putin spent his Christmas day in Damascus, a city that is closely tied to early Christianity, home to Syria’s oldest Orthodox Church and a mosque that keeps the relics of John the Baptist. Putin’s plane touched down in Syria on Tuesday, to everyone’s surprise, as the president was last spotted in St. Petersburg the evening before, attending the Orthodox Christmas Eve service. His unannounced trip included not only talks about fighting terrorism with Syrian President Bashar Assad, but also visits to the city’s historic religious sites. After the talks, Putin and Assad took a walk through the center of Damascus, stopping at the Umayyad Mosque, also known as the Great Mosque.

Really? Putin was a KGB foreign intelligence officer for 16 years, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel before resigning in 1991 to enter politics in Saint Petersburg. Remember history my friends, those in power unite the clans before an attack.

Putin was a KGB officer. Yes. What's the problem?
Charity: www.youtube.com/watch Divine worship must only be given to the Blessed Trinity. That is one reason Catholics are not to worship with Muslims.

You're asking the wrong person, Pattfm I'm neither Anglican nor Muslim. Better still, why not remove yourself to an Anglican and then a Muslim board where they would be better able to answer your question?
Or how they venerate Mary?! www.youtube.com/watch

Why would a mosque keep the relics of St. John the Baptist?

I know they see Jesus as a prophet. They also have a gnostic view of Christianity as they reject St. Paul.
