MUSLIM CONQUEST OF BRITAIN NEARS COMPLETION by Paul L. Williams, PhD.
A study by of the Centre for Migration Policy Research at Swansea University shows that
thousands of Britons are converting to Islam every year – with more women becoming
Muslims than men.
The research suggests that the numbers converting to the religion has doubled by 2010
from the 60,669 converts in 2001.
The average age of the Muslim converts is 27.5, with 520,0o0 Brits becoming Muslims in the
past 12 months.
A detailed study by Swansea University for inter-faith think-tank Faith Matters, suggests
that despite an often negative portrayal of Islam in the media, more people are adopting
the religion each year.
Kevin Brice, the director of the study, says that 56% of converts to Islam were white
British, with 62% being female.
Presently, according to the London Times, the Islamic population of Great Britain exceeds
2.4 million.
The Daily Mail contends that more than 25% of the British Muslims visit a mosque at least
once a week.
By contrast, Paul Richardson, Assistant Bishop of Newcastle, maintains that less than 1% of
the 18 million Christians who belong to the Church of England attend Sunday services. “At
this rate,” the Bishop speculates, “it is hard to see the church surviving for more than 30
years though few of its leaders are prepared to face that possibility.
“If decline continues,” the Bishop adds, “Christian Research has estimated that in five years’
time church closures will accelerate from their present rate of 30 a year to 200 a year as
dwindling congregations are finding the cost of keeping them open too great.”
While 30 Anglican parishes close every year, seventy new mosques sprout up throughout
the United Kingdom.
A score of organizations have been set up to serve the needs of Christian Brits who now
embrace Islam.
Edward Charles and Matthew McDonald of New Muslim Network Wales, which was
established in 2001, say their work consists not only in supporting converts, but also trying
to dispel myths about conversion, such as having to change one’s name or lose one’s
cultural identity.
“We are able to help the new Muslim to settle into their new faith gently and help them sort
out the cultural stuff from the actual faith,” Mr. Charles says. “Most of us have kept our
original names and we encourage new Muslims to do the same – but ultimately it’s a
personal choice.”
CHRISLAM SPREADS THROUGHOUT AMERICA
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 (New American Standard Bible)
10
and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not
receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.
11
For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe
what is false,
12
in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in
wickedness.
QURAN IN THE PEWS JESUS IN THE QURAN - By Paul L. Williams, PhD
This weekend, the Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church in Houston along with Christian
communities in Atlanta, Seattle, and Detroit will initiate a series of sermons that have been
designed to produce an ecumenical reconciliation between Christianity and Islam.
In addition to the sermons, the Sunday school lessons will centre on the inspired teachings
of the Prophet Mohammad.
Qurans will be placed in the pews next to the Bibles.
The concept of Chrislam, now embraced by such preachers as Rick Warren and Robert
Schuller, appears to have emerged from a program on the meaning of “love your neighbor”
at Grace Fellowship Church in Atlanta, Georgia
“In 2001, like most Americans, we were pretty awakened to the true Islamic presence in the
world and in the United States,” says Jon Stallsmith, the outreach minister at Grace
Fellowship. “Jesus says we should love our neighbors. We can’t do that without having a
relationship with them.”
Stallsmith maintains that a rapprochement between Muslims and Christians can be achieved
by the fact that Jesus is mentioned twenty-five times in the Quran.
The Chrislam movement has gained impetus by statements from President George W. Bush
and that Christians, Jews, and Muslims all worship the same God and by Rick Warren’s
reference to Isa (the Muslim name for Jesus) in his prayer at the inauguration of President
Barack Obama.
Only 30 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Muslims, according to a Pew Forum
poll. At the same time, more than half the country says they know “not very much” or
“nothing at all” about the Islamic faith.
“The recent political developments and the fact that we’re fighting two wars in Muslim
countries should sharpen that need to know how to talk to these guys,” Stallsmith insists
“We want to find peace, reconciliation around a scriptural understanding of Jesus.”
The Quran Preaches ‘Another Jesus’ – Anti Christ
Jesus in the Quran is neither the only-begotten Son of God nor the Messiah who
was divinely appointed to restore the House of David. He is rather viewed as a
prophet who was appointed by Allah to prepare mankind for the coming of Mohammad.
In the Quran, Jesus neither suffers nor dies on the cross but is rather raised alive into
heaven:
“That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of God”;but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and
those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture
to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:- Nay, God raised him up unto the himself;
and God is Exalted in Power, Wise” (4: 157-158)
The victim at Calvary, Islam teaches, was either Simon of Cyrene or Judas Iscariot.
The Quran mentions that Jesus was born of the virgin Maryam – - not by an immaculate
conception but rather the will of Allah and that He performed miracles to show the Jewish
people that He was a maseh in the manner of Moses and Ibrahim (Abraham):
“In blasphemy indeed are those that say that God is Christ the son of Mary. Say:
“Who then hath the least power against God, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of
Mary, his mother, and all every – one that is on the earth? For to God belongeth the
dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He
pleaseth. For God hath power over all things” (5:17).
Belief in the divinity of Jesus is condemned in Islam as shirk (filth).
