Merkel's father is a Lutheran minister.

the lack of spiritual revival, the lack of spiritual influence in the world has left a void; a void for Islam and false religious cults to fill.

“Not enough Christianity” said Angela Merkel. In the USA there is not enough genuine, spiritual Christianity.

Amen!

“’Not enough Christianity’ said Angela Merkel. In the USA there is not enough genuine, spiritual Christianity.”

I was hearted when I heard her say it. And, I must say, John Leland 1789, I couldn’t agree with you more. Fine observation! May many others, especially those who sit in the pews and support so much of the nonsense coming from preachers today wake up and, as the Greek proselytes once asked of Philip, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus,” demand of their pastor, “Sir, we wish to hear Jesus.” Or better yet, “Sir, we would hear Jesus, or you will no longer see our offerings.”

Can you imagine Obama saying this? He, of course, won’t say this, but this is what he believes: “what we need is more Islam and less Christianity.”

The weakness in our testimony and the obvious failure of our Christianity to be a restraining influence (morally, ideologically) . . . is the motive behind it all!

Ahhh!!! Spot on!!!

I can only add that motives you describe are most likely only the surface motives we see and the true problem lies even deeper.
