Hundreds of asylum seekers from the Middle East, including from Iran and Iraq, have converted to Christianity in Finland, according to officials in the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran community.

....While some who are seeking to covert cited disillusionment with Islam as the key reason, others said they felt conversion will help them fit into the Finnish culture, according to Sputnik News, which also speculated that an underlying reason also could be to guard themselves against possible deportation.

Prayers for these people. No doubt there are some of these that are conversions of convenience.

Yet the Holy Spirit is working among the Muslim people, even in a Christianity that is a "state" religion.

I have seen another source that indicates Pentecostal churches (maybe theologically shaky in some respects but also vibrant and excited for Jesus) have also reached out to Muslims.

Why can’t these people stay in their own countries and fight?

The Lutheran Church, as well as others, should put their money where there mouth is and go over to these countries and convert them in their home countries.

Don’t bring the enemy into your camp when you KNOW that maybe 1% of them will convert and the rest will try and murder you eventually.

Whatever it takes to further Islam, and keep these Kafirs off guard is allowed in Islam.

Better yet now having accepted the love and salvation of Our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ they should go back and fight for their countries and convert the heathen devil Muslims to Christianity.

Funny they should be converting to Lutheranism. Martin Luther was a notorious anti-Semite.

I struggle every day with fantasies of nuking every muzzy slime on the planet, but in my daily/evening vespers, pray that they find salvation in Jesus.

It's the warrior's dilemma - the shepherd doesn't necessarily want to kill wolves, he just wants to protect the sheep. There is a distinction.

It seems that at the end of Luther’s life, he suffered from mental illness. I’m not defending him; I don’t care about Luther. But his later quotes don’t square with those of his when he was young.

I’m very happy for their souls. Their mortal bodies should be sent back to where they came from.

You forget about Jehovah’s Witnesses, send them to the Middle East and let them knock holes in everyone’s door. We have a neighborhood call roster here, when they show up at the first house, you start the call roster and everyone closes their blinds and curtains.

I’lll keep praying, even though I don’t like such invasion...

The more saved, the better the influence on th unsaved...I.e., the muslims.

Btw, that’s good...the opposite of, that’s not good
