And Islam is not peace, please. Whoever says ISIS has no connection to Islam or something like this is, he's a liar. ISIS is Islam; Islam is ISIS," Dogan explained.
The truth.
This past week listened to Alison Kamerata(sp) acting aghast that Pamela Geller wouldn't instantly agree that radical Islam is an infinitesimal, shrinking minority.
The time is long past for the 'moderates' to be recognized for what they are -- 'the silent majority' approving of the jihadist brutality.
....”the ‘moderates’ to be recognized for what they are — ‘the silent majority’ approving of the jihadist brutality”...
The (Isis) Jihadists is ‘their’ army.
Think on the moral vacuity of liberalism. Here we have real genocide, real War on Women, real War on Children, real war and they cannot muster the moral courage to demand action.
Radical Islam is definitely growing, but on a parallel track, counterintuitively, In many places in the Middle East, Christianity is also growing. There is serious growth across North Africa and Egypt, where the Christians are becoming more and more visible. There are millions of "muslim" atheists, who are so disgusted, they are leaving. They like some of their culture, but they have become utterly secular. After wandering in the spiritual desert of atheism, many are turning to "Isa al Masi" (Jesus the Christ), It isn't just ISIS that's penetrating the Arab world with well-done video and social media. There's actually a lot more that Arab Christians are doing with multiple 24/7 satellite TV channels, music videos, and lots of biblical teaching. They are developing deep mutual-support networks through social media.
The Coptic church in Egypt is undergoing an amazing revival, they are preaching the Gospel. The Christians in Algeria have grown 5-fold in the last 20 years, to 100,000, and are now recognized as a legal religious group. For the first time in an Arab country, it is possible to change one's religion on one's passport.
Yes, the numbers of Christians is shrinking in Iraq and Syria through emigration, but the testimony these people are exhibiting is amazing, and the strength of their faith, while you see almost none of it in the US, is widely seen and admired in the Middle East.
It's a tempestuous region, roiling with chaos and violence, these are birth pangs. God has not abandoned the Middle East. He is on the move.
