The challenge of Islam

I have never forgotten one point Gary North made in his book on conpiracies. Writing before the fall of Soviet communism he said that ther were only two real challengers to Biblical christianity, Marxism and Islam, because both had an esctology of victory.

Now we only have one contender and it is being nurtured by Western establishments. Click on the title for a Telegraph article which says, 'Islam is the fastest-growing religion in Britain: the number of Muslims has grown from 1.6 million to two million since 2000. Moreover, every major public institution has changed its policies to accommodate the demands of Islamic "community leaders". The Government, the Opposition, the police, schools, the Church of England, the BBC and now Channel 4 are all helping Muslims construct a parallel Islamic state.....


Douglas Murray, director of the Centre for Social Cohesion says "what we are seeing is the state deferring to a seventh-century Arabian tradesman as a source for secular law". He was speaking on Christmas Eve. The next day, Ahmadinejad spoke to the nation. Yesterday it was reported that Baroness Butler-Sloss, one of Britain's most senior legal figures, wants Sharia divorces to be enshrined in law. For the first time in decades, religion is moulding public life in this country; but that religion is not Christianity.'

IMO Western governments are paralysed by the fear of significant civil disturbance if ever people woke up to what one strand of militant Islam has always taught, hatred of unbelievers, deceit and violent jihad. No. I see no evidence that my Muslim acquaintances are this way inclined. They are very nice people. But what is worrying is that our security services cannot spot the militants either.
