The number of Muslims in Europe grew from about 4.1% of the total European population in 1990 to about 6% in 2010, and it is projected to reach 8%, or 58 million people, by 2030, according to Washingtons Pew Research Center."
Sad. We need a Second Reformation.
I’m sure the Saudi government will be floating purchase offers soon.
Not to worry. The Muslims will buy them from these atheists.
But the average European isn’t all that much to blame.
This Pope, the Lutheran Church, Anglican Church, Presbyterian Chunch and others seem more interested in pandering to Muslims and promoting socialist agendas and redistributionalist justice than promoting the Bible and Christ’s message.
The real story here is the failure of religion when government involved itself. Government can no more manage religion than it can most other things.
Had government stayed out of religion, what Europe would be experiencing right now is what religions in America are experiencing. Schism, between those people in the religion who want it to “lose God and replace it with leftism”, who are masters at subversion; and those people of genuine faith, who cannot abide the corruption and destruction of that faith.
As such, America is in a better position, because the leftist part of the schisms will wither and fade away, while the conservative side of the schisms will prosper.
But in Europe, there is only the “faith of government”, allocated by government, and for the government. There is no God there.
They - and we - will be sorry.
Does someone have a link to the story that does not involve signing up for WSJ?
Muslims are spiritually dead as well, but their fervor for their demonic religion pushes them forward in conquest. The only thing pushing most Europeans forward is comfort, and almost nobody wants to risk their lives merely for that. They want to keep it, not lose it.
