Remember Bonny Prince Foppy saying that when King he would be "Guardian of The Faiths"?

In the 5th century, Christian and Roman Britain was taken over by the pagan Angles and Saxons and became England (Angle-land). It was re-converted in 6th and 7th centuries by Sts Aiden, Cuthbert, David, Augustine of Canterbury, and countless others. Will history repeat itself?

Grrrrreat Britain...
Without Christ in their lives and church they confuse license for liberty
Their "freedom" squandered in laciviousness....they've become so "free"
they cant stand the hole in their souls..but are so sold out....
They cannot return to the God of their fathers and repent and ask for forgiveness
Instead they merely retreat to worship one of the "other heads" of the
same satanic master who lead them into lacviousness in the first place....
If satan is anything he is the inventor of the "protection racket"...the author
of the dialectic
The "deliverer" from the very same sins he authoured in man in the first place..
And as many in America who will run after the same multi headed-faceted demonic psuedo god
Out of the frying pan...and into the fire....

Islam's appeal, wherever it has triumphed, has been in its simplicity. It requires submission to some basic, straightforward rules which are easily kept, and in return it offers that most wonderful and rare commodity, peace of mind. Christianity has that appeal but Islam has another appeal that Christianity lacks. You get to kill people with the approval of God. - tom

I never thought of England as a mission field; we have so much to do right here in north Ala.
Our cousins across the pond need a good dose of Evangelical praise, worship and preaching... they'd find what they're missing then. Forget the robes and rituals, cousins.

Christianity is not difficult to grasp as opposed to Islam. Actually, Jesus Christ brings God closer to us, since He was also human. God is not simply the invisible Father in the sky as He is for Moslems.
To: Capt. Tom
Islam's appeal is exactly that - it's a complete religious and political system that means never having to think again. And you get to kill anybody who doesn't agree with you.
That said, the author's points about the collapse of Christianity are certainly accurate. With Vatican II, the Catholic Church abandoned the entire ethical, moral and theological structure of traditional Catholicism, and since most Protestant churches - whether they knew it or not - had always tacitly depended on the Catholic Church to uphold these standards, once it collapsed, there was no bulwark.
Basically, all the Christian churches (except for isolated congregations here and there) threw their believers to the wind, abandoned the poor to lives without structure and meaning, and went off to indulge themselves in feel-good Marxism and sexual dilly-dallying.
They were false shepherds, and now the wolves are devouring the sheep.

As I've stated in the past, Europe doesn't have the theological framework from within which to discern truth and error. They've rejected the Living God and have fallen into a relativistic abyss which leaves them with no moorings or standards, only hopelesness.
Out of this moral anarchy people will search for answers, however, truth is always the first casualty. In such an environment a pagan death cult may well offer an appealing alternative.

I really don't think that the USofA will allow itself to be beaten in the race to Islam.

I agree about our friends in England. But when you can have a show like the Jerry Springer Show on during the day we have alot of issues here to fix as well. I am only 25 years old and I remember the days you did not hear the work Bi$#* or Asis on TV and now it is flung all over the place. Check out all of the half nude women on all of the reality T.V shows now. We have alot of work to do here in America because I do not see how it could any worse than it is now.
