[From One - Many]

So, in a way that nobody could anticipate, Islam is forcing the issue of whether or not there is a God, and whether or not life's choices matter to that God, right into the face of the secular west

islam doesn't worship the God I know, islam worships the devil.

My point is that the unintended consequence of Islam's newly found ability to intrude in the daily affairs of the secular west is to bring a very basic spiritual issue to the attention of people who reject the very concept.

Where Islam forces a person to consider its "invitation" or else submit (as a subservient citizen), or die, they force a person who rejects that God exists to consider if how they answer has eternal consequences or not.

If God does not exist, then it doesn't matter if the secular person, like the kidnapped Fox reporters, converts to Islam in order to make the death threat go away. If there is no God, it is an inconsequential choice, like choosing to buy Juicy Fruit chewing gum instead of Spearmint, or no gum at all. But if God exists, then it matters more than any other decision this person will make in his life.

The choice may be clear to you and to me, but it is not at all clear to the millions in the west who have not already resolved faced this question.

Before this is all over, everyone alive will have to make some very important choices.
