    I never heard of a Christian or Muslim wanting to pray in a synogogue, and I don’t know why one would want to. As for a Jew praying, the sages said prayers should be said only in a place where one expects to be free from any interruption or distraction; G-d deserves our entire undiverted attention.

    Apart from the historical hostility of Christian and Muslim organizations toward Judaism, it seems to me that a Jew could not adequately concentrate on his prayers in a facility dedicated to a contradictory religion. This is especially so if the church is (as most seem to be) full of religious objects (tapestries, altars, images, paintings, etc) that are unsuitable for Jews.
