Well, you can't beat something with nothing. Islam is a complete social system with deep personal ties within the family and community. On the one hand, we need to pursue and model a kind of Christianity that is also full-orbed and rich in relationships. On the other hand, we need to ask God to discredit Islam globally. Hey, it happened to communism. I grew up under the shadow of The Bomb, then one day the red menace was a joke, a hollow shell, and the people were devastated by the loss of their vector (force + direction) in life. And responsive to the gospel -- I was on a mission team to Ukraine in 1992.

I really think God, out of compassion for the billion or so muslims out there, will kick the props out from under that cult, and I pray it happens soon. OTOH, I pray even more fervantly that we might be ready when the door of opportunity swings open.
