Christian vs. Muslim

Last night I sat in our living room and talked with my two youngest sons and two of their friends since kindergarten. My two youngest and their friends are between 18 and 20. We were just hanging together as a family.

The thing about this night is that nobody was playing play station 2 or watching TV but we were all up and together and discussing current events and one of the new classes that one of the young men was taking now that the spring semester had started.

It was a religion class in a secular Jr. college. The junior colleges are full of new Muslim immigrants. And they are very active evangelizing and proselytizing off of the radar screen in this venue. They even actively pass out tracts. Imagine what would happen if a Christian were to pass out tracts in the halls of these secular colleges. They would be stopped immediately.

Why the kid gloves with Muslims? It is because they bite. If Christians evangelize Muslims they will complain to the authorities who then will run to their aid to protect them. And if they are stopped for doing their own evangelizing they will protest the oppression of their religious freedom. Thus they are winning the secular war.

The bureaucratic leadership of the secular institutions is by definition working just to eliminate waves. They have no personal opinion or agenda except to “keep the peace.”
Thus, the political strategy of a winner would be to be the “squeaky wheel that gets the grease.” But Americas feminized Christians are not like that. They would never be so rude as to complain. “We are about the good news of Jesus, not controversy,” they would say.

Thus they increasingly are marginalized out of the secular marketplace. And religion classes no longer support the Christian worldview. They have become recruiting grounds for Islam.

When the professor went around the room asking each student what their “religion” was our young friend said he didn’t have a religion. He saw religion as dead. He said he simply believed in Jesus Christ. The teacher freaked and two Muslim girls tried to evangelize him after class.
Amen? Or oh my?
