This is horrifying to watch. I have recently been convinced that the USA will have pro-Islamic laws on our books in the next 5-10 years. This has absolutely nothing to do with our president -elect, but everything to do with a few major weakness that western culture has; 1. the rule of law, 2. separation of church and state, 3. freedom of religion. Now normally we would think these are our greatest strengths, but Islam has already figured out how to use these or similar freedoms for their own benefit. France is in a struggle to deal with this and will have to push aside some religious freedom law to save their culture or they will be overtaken by Islam. England is in the same situation, and has the support of the naive Archbishop of Canterbury.
Why is this? The reason is that our nation was founded by men who lived in a culture that was based upon a Christian world view. And this world view had a few major characteristics; the understanding that man is naturally fallen, and therefore understanding that we need checks and balances, and the understanding that great things happen when sacrifices are made.
Islam holds to the opposites. Islam does not believe in any of these things. Islam does not have a doctrine of original sin, they believe that it is outside forces that cause the faithful to sin against Allah. They are also a totalitarian culture in which there is absolutely no distinction between the government and the church, they are one. And probably the most important distinction, Islam is a religion of power and glory instead of one of grace and the Cross. Islam also has no notion of redemption, forgiveness or atonement in the Christian sense.
Islam by definition means to “submit.” And those in Islam demand submission by any means, even the sword. Islam will manipulate all three of our fundamental freedoms to infiltrate our nations laws. When Islam enters a geographic territory they believe that they now own it. This is due to the fact that at its core Islam is about control and submission. The Qur’an encourages evangelsim through force and that all would submit to their deity Allah.
It is my opinion that we have two real paths to choose. First we can outlaw Islam as Austria did in the 1520′s. Much of Europe outlawed Islam during the early 1500 for survival.
The other strategy is to trust in Jesus and His gospel and its power to bring Islam to its knees. Islam is a kingdom in opposition against the Kingdom of God and our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus will not have any other potentates as a rival. We may pass laws to restrict totalitarian religions, but ultimately it is Christ who will topple Islam.
Watch and then pray and let us love our enemies by taking the Gospel to them. For only Christ can cause Islam to submit.

ummm… sorry, but i think you got the wrong idea.
you are partly right about Islam and submission; islam means: to submit (to Allah the Almighty God). the submission is not for other people to the muslim, but the muslim themselves should submit under the Almighty God.
and if you read again in the history book and the situation now (in the peaceful country which has muslim in it) you will find that there’s freedom of practicing religion (any religion) in any muslim countries. there’s no controlling about other being in Islam. there’s no obligation to preach nor to make other people follow the religion. as the Quran said, ‘for you your religion, and for me my religion.’
i always wonder why people always thought that muslim hate Jesus. we cannot and never will. Jesus son of Mary (Isa ibn Maryam) is one of our beloved prophet. and hating him meaning hating the messenger of God. what we don’t believe is Jesus as the son of God. For us, muslim, there’s only one God, He begets not, nor is He begotten.
