** I checked out this group **
So did I. In one Parish, and I didn’t see it mentioned in the article, they were threatening to destroy a statue of Christ’s Mother. I think that is way past the Street Preacher meme.
Sounds more like Taliban Tactics to me.
But if they’re Muslim that’s what they do....destroy what they see as an idol....they simply see the same offense in Christianity....... The old testament is full of episodes where God said to tear them down ...and they did...by the same token when they moved away from God they built them back up. So it’s not hard to see why they would do so.
Muslims of this age are searching for the truth because they have come to a point where Islam doesn’t fill the void for them any longer, but Islam itself forbids questioning Islam, you simply obey without question..... so many go deeper into Islam then, and with parents encouraging such.... Those often become ‘primed’ for recruitment by terrorists for the deeper they go into Islam they become far more ‘receptive’ to the militant portions of Islam.
Others , especially if they live in Western countries, will be ‘exposed’ to Christianity and people who are Christians who are street preaching. They can listen without stepping foot in a church, which they wouldn’t generally do.
Thus they become street preachers themselves.....and thus fulfilling the Great Commission from where they stand.... Especially since it’s an act of ‘obedience’ to their New found faith.....and since Islam itself is all about obedience they would ‘naturally’ gravitate to doing so.
I personally am not real supportive of street preaching...but they do have stories of success among the street people....and some are more comfortable with that style of Preaching because they aren’t accountable to any but their small groups.
BTW..there’s a lot of preaching going on in churches today that’s far worse....
I listened to a couple of their videos as they preached....a bit raw but what they stated I found little argument with.... looks like some use those chick handouts...which we know can be mis-leading and pretty raw as well.
