Cross to Crescent: The Quiet Islamic Conquest of American Churches and Christians
Rair Foundation ^ | 08/05/2024 | Amy Mek

A quiet yet insidious transformation is taking place: American Christian churches are being systematically converted into mosques, signaling an Islamic conquest intent on erasing the nation’s heritage and conquering its Christian population.

Recent trends in religious property transactions reveal a concerning shift in America’s religious landscape. A striking example is the sale of the Calvary Temple of Praise Inc. building in Sanford, Florida, to Masjid Al Hayy. This transaction highlights a broader trend: while Christian churches are experiencing a decline, Islamic mosques are witnessing significant growth. This trend points to a deeper and more troubling phenomenon: the slow but steady erosion of the Christian community and the encroaching influence of the Islamic community.

The Decline of Churches

Calvary Temple of Praise, like many other churches across the country, found itself in a position where it needed to downsize due to financial difficulties and a shrinking congregation. The large building, once bustling with worshippers, became a burden too heavy to bear. This is not an isolated incident. According to a 2019 Pew Research Center report, the percentage of Americans identifying as Christian dropped from 77% in 2009 to 65% in 2019. This decline in membership has forced many churches to close or sell their properties.

Financial constraints are a significant factor. Many churches struggle to maintain large properties as donations dwindle and operating costs rise. In a 2020 survey conducted by Lifeway Research, approximately 3,700 churches in the U.S. closed in 2019 alone. This trend is a strong indicator of the broader challenges facing Christian congregations in maintaining their places of worship…

All post-Christian countries in history are now Islamic. When Christian countries reject the Bible, they go Sodomite. Sodomites predictably destroy the country. Islam is the parasite that feeds on the dead body...

Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

It is troubling to watch this happen.

Our churches are also being taken over by Globohomo because far too many conservatives are afraid to stand up for their values.

interesting that the warnings to nominal Christians are ignored by all but a few. seems the consequences of turning away from God isn’t real to most so they ignore the warnings. there’s only one question to ask yourself...do you believe IN God or do You BELIEVE God? big, big difference.

Will American citizens wake up to the fact that we’re being attacked by followers of Satan who are trying to destroy our Judeo/Christian nation?

Muslims.....people who carry a "holy" book that says to murder all Jews and Christians who won't bow to their prophet. AND WE”RE LETTING THEM POUR INTO OUR COUNTRY....AND INTO OUR GOVERNMENT????

You can’t beat a philosophy without an equally appealing alternative. The capture of mainline Christianity by Marxist - Woke leadership and their failure to promote traditional Christian values and
speak out against the Globalist Marxist Regime has contributed to this. Add to it the menace of Islam. No society which ever welcomed this pernicious cult escaped total Islamization. Its a cult not a religion.

Why would anyone want to import violent adherents of a death cult into their country?

MtnClimber : "It is troubling to watch this happen."

True enough that attendance in Christian Churches is falling rapidly, as are callings to the priesthood and ministry .
Most Muslim families consider 'wealth' according to the number of children that they have, which is 'cultural holdover' from their native lands.
Unfortunately, you can expect the number of vacant Christian churches to increase proportionate to the Muslim population.

Interesting this doesn’t happen to Reformed churches. It’s as if there is a supernatural………….

Well that has kinda been a tradition every since Columbus
sailed the ocean blue in 1492. Dem foreigners have been
coming in and taking over this land. They rounded up the
natives and put them on Reservations and then went to AFRICA
and brought in their natives by the boat loads to do the grunt
work both male/female.

So in today's standards the ruling class has been formed from
a lot of those newcomers after a CIVIL WAR was fought in the
mid 1800s. It has taking time but they now rule a lot of what
transpires today.

Ain't life grand.......

I wonder if Islam, and others mixed in, will be the chosen religion of the tribulation period? John MacArthur makes a convincing argument for it.

This transaction highlights a broader trend: while Christian churches are experiencing a decline, Islamic mosques are witnessing significant growth, due to the heavy importation of muslims by the Biden/Harris admin, while simultaneously demonizing & persecuting Christians, who obligingly turn the other cheek believing that will somehow make things better. Lambs to the slaughter, as Islam seeks to destroy Western Civilization and Christianity ... again.

Christian churches believe that you will get more people by watering down the bible, when just the opposite is true as demonstrated by Islam

The churches that I have heard at the fastest growing are those who hold to sound, solid Biblical teaching without compromise or apology.

Personally I’d bet on transhumanism. Academic globalism/transhumanism is pulling in lots of people with formerly hindu and muslim “upbringing” and indoctrination. A generation or two of that and I believe you’ll see the decline of practicing islam in the west. Just my 2c.

This is happening around the world and will continue. Be sure to be part of God’s faithful remnant and trust in Him no matter what happens.

I propose all Americans accept Allah and bow to Mecca. Read the Koran and flood the mosques! Once we are loyal followers we can become Imans and start to reform that ancient faith from the inside. Women get rights! Gays get recognized—we re-do the Koran to make it more loving and nice, maybe cut out all the violence and calls for Jihad! Once we reform Islam we can force other places to become like us! Organize a Gay pilgrimage to Mecca. We can demand all Jews become Mohammedans and bow to Mecca (or Jerusalem). We can so mess this up they will rue the day we converted. We can turn all churches into mosques— even the Vatican. No more Pope! The New Islam for all mankind!
