I recently posted a question on the YouthWorker.com forums about my upcoming plans to take my Senior High Youth Group to an Islamic Center open house. The plan was to inform the kids about the beliefs of Islam/Muslims and then compare to our own beliefs. The response I have received in the forum is interesting to say the least. Let me know what you think.

David,
Looks like you really got them thinking! I'm often surprised how resistant some folks are to even engaging in discussions with people from other faiths. I wonder what they are afraid of? I think what you are doing is a great idea. We took our students to a mosque a few years ago for a talk with one of their leaders. While there, one of the prayer times happened and we were invited to participate. We sat in the back of the group...some of us praying, some of us simply observing. To my knowledge, not one student converted to Islam because of the experience! : )
