Christians DID worship Mary!

[mclinkin94]

Asalamu Alaikum!

Many Catholics reject worshiping Mary. I was a catholic at one point but I was never taught about worshiping Mary. Rather, what we did was we respected Mary just as I
respect the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and still respect Mary (of course).

So for these articles:

http://www.answering-christianity.com/abdul-rahman_klimaszewski/worship_of_mary_by_pagans.htm
http://www.answering-christianity.com/sami_zaatri/mary_worship.htm

I have a piece of information that could extend it further and make it more convincing.

The Chloridians literally worshiped Mary.

And they were even tied to Pagan Arabia!

Hope this would be beneficial!

Wa Alaikum As'salam dear brother Mclinkin94,

Brother, even murderers declare that they didn't kill their victims.  A person's own admission to what he/she is isn't the measuring stick that we should base our judgments on.  It's their actions.  Aside from the articles that you linked from my website, akhi I've heard them with my very ears call Mother Mary:

"O MARY, MOTHER OF GOD."

And in Arabic on one of their satellite channels, they say it:

"O MARY, MOTHER OF ALLAH!"

Mother of Allah?!  Yes, Mother of Allah!  You can even watch it all on Youtube [2].  This is what comes out of their own mouths.  This is why they seek her in Prayers.  They believe:

1-  GOD Almighty Came to this world through her.

2-  She is HIS MOTHER.

3-  She is the collection of all purity and Good.

4-  She is THE UNIVERSE'S QUEEN GODDESS.

5-  She is Divine.

These are facts that Catholics do not deny.  You probably were not a real Catholic yourself as they say, even if you thought you were.  In other words, you probably were what they considered a heretic Catholic, and not an Orthodox one.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah

Wa 'AlaikumAsalam,

Great post. Just wanted to point out that Roman Catholics among others call Mary the Mother of God. They send prayers to her everyday and during there services. They dedicate whole months to praying to Mary such as May:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_devotions_to_the_Blessed_Virgin_Mary

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_devotions

"A Marian devotion in Christianity is a gift (total or partial) of oneself, or one's activities to the Virgin Mary, i.e. a willingness and desire to dedicate oneself to, or venerate her, either in terms of prayers..."

Various prayers full of Shirk:

"Hail Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, Our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, To thee do we send up our sighs, Mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, And after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Mary, Help of Those in Need

Holy Mary,
help those in need,
give strength to the weak,
comfort the sorrowful,
pray for God's people,
assist the clergy,
intercede for religious.
Mary all who seek your help
experience your unfailing protection.
Amen."
