In my email this morning was an update from the American Anglican Council. Included was this paragraph:
A third area that concerns us as orthodox Anglicans is the invasion of Islam into supposedly solid Christian areas, and the rapidity with which Christians seem to be rolling over and not adequately responding. I used to wonder how Islam conquered North Africa so easily, suppressing such a vital Christian area and pushing the Christian faith into a small corner of the community. Watching the idiocy of many governmental leaders in the Western world today, ready to give away so much to accommodate the demands of Muslim immigrants into their land, and seeing the Christians, with only a few exceptions, fail to rise to the challenge, I think I understand a little better what happened in North Africa. One difference there was that Islam conquered cities and territories by the sword… but who needs a sword if they can accomplish the same result by making demands and through thuggery and intimidation? I am thinking especially of articles about English vicars being beaten and harassed at their churches by Muslim youths.
This week, in my small Central New York town, I saw 4, count them, 4 women in burqas. And, no it wasn't the same woman seen at four different times. They were in a group, shopping at Walmart. No one in the store seemed at all disturbed by this incursion of militant Islam.
Pray for the conversion of Muslims.
