COLUMBUS, March 27, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- Billboards reading "Jesus is Muslim," "Mohammed is in the bible," and "Muslims love Jesus too" are currently dotting the landscape in central Ohio. The messages, paid for by ask-a-muslim.com, have prompted Coach Dave Daubenmire of Pass the Salt Ministries to organize a "Jesus Is Lord" prayer vigil/rally this Saturday morning.

"Although we support the Islamic community's right to free speech, as well as their right to post messages on billboards, we do not support the hi-jacking of the name of Jesus Christ in their attempt to lure uninformed Christians into their religion," Coach Dave Daubenmire said.

Daubenmire continued, "Jesus Christ was crucified, died, and resurrected over 600 years before the birth of Mohammed.  Although Islam honors Jesus as a prophet, they do not believe that He is the risen Son of God.  During this most Holy Lenten Season we find the messages on the billboards to be insensitive, dishonest and deserving of a response from concerned Christians. We will be on the streets to proclaim Jesus is NOT Muslim but Jesus is Lord!!"
