Ill will toward Muslims remains ten years later

In a post-9/11 bid to better relations with Muslims, pastor Bob
Roberts invited Muslims to his NorthWood Church in Keller, Texas, for
Q&A sessions and a cooking club and to help on a few home remodeling
projects. The result: Roberts lost "a bunch of church members," he
said.

In Denver, pastor Max Frost asked volunteers from his Roots
Vineyard church to help paint a local mosque. Friends and family told
him it was a bad idea.

And at Hillsboro Presbyterian Church in
Nashville, Tennessee, Nancy McCurley started an interfaith scripture
study with  Muslims, only to be told by a critic that "in a year's time,
this church will be a mosque."
