Andrea Widburg probably doesn't know Christian history, being a non-practicing Jew, but she highlights how God spread Christianity in a post entitled Europe stands as a grim warning about unlimited Muslim immigration. The Devil is aping God here by doing the same thing God did.
Christ told the disciples to go to the lost sheep if Israel only. So how did Christianity spread to the gentiles, such that today it is a gentile religion? On the day of Pentecost, after the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, there were thousands of Jews in Jerusalem from all over the known world. These were the Jews of the diaspora. Every year, the Jews of the diaspora sent at least one representative from their respective synagogues to celebrate the Passover. Each of these representatives would return home and tell their synagogal members what had happened, and that the Messiah had come. Good news! Because Judaism was a popular religion, there would have been gentiles who were also members of the synagogue. In this way, Christianity spread through the known world. Like yeast leavening a bread, these little pockets spread and spread until the whole world was Christianized.
Now, God spread his religion by persuasion. One person would tell another, they would study the scriptures, read the letters of the Apostles, listen to preachers, and come to conclusions for themselves. They then would seek baptism and communion with their respective Churches. The Devil looked on and decided to do the same thing. Thus, from a small band of thugs, he expanded the number of people until he had all of Arabia. Only, instead of persuasion, the Devil used the sword and the scimitar. Their message: convert or die. Many sadly did, and still do. Where being a Christian is hard, being a Muslim is easy. All you have to do is repeat the mantra three time and bingo, you are a Muslim. The Devil doesn't seem to care about your inward feelings and thoughts, only your outward submission. Of course, remember that the Devil was always the father of lies and a murderer from the start.
The above is background for what Ms. Widburg has to say:
Islam, by its nature, is an ideology centered around conquest. That’s why, within one hundred years of Mohamed’s death, Muslims had conquered large swaths of the known world. And unlike Christians, this conquest was not effectuated mostly through persuasion (something separate from internecine wars between different types of Christian nations fighting for political control). Instead, this conquest was brutal. In Europe, which started with a trickle of Islamic immigration after WWII that turned into a flood in 2015, we’re seeing what happens when devout Muslims have the wind at their back.
To give you context, here’s a distillation of what Peter Hammond wrote in his book Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat—and yes, the book was controversial, but its premise certainly seems borne out both by Islam’s history and by events in the 18 years since its original publication...
She then quotes Michael Haltman's summary of the effects of inviting Muslims into your country. Muslims are spreading the same way as Christianity did, but whether they know it or not, they are spreading a lie. For example, when they blow themselves up, they are not a martyrs, they are a suicides. They are not getting the 72 virgins (in Heaven people are not given in marriage), but the fires of hell await them. Everything they teach and do is a lie. We should pray for these misguided people.
An estimate of the number of professing Christians in this country puts the percentage at 63%. It was a gross mistake to let these Muslims in, and it is a gross mistake to let any more in. While we are not technically a "Christian nation" in the sense that European or Islamic countries are religious, we are a Christian nation nontheless. Particularly in my part of the world, we have perhaps 5 churces within 5 miles of my home. Obama's claim that we are not a Christian nation was to hint that we could be an Islamist nation. So, Obama wants 63% of this nation to be second class citizens and to pay the Islamic jizya tax. Umm...no thank you.
Face it, Muslims are a problem wherever they go. Why bring them here?
