yeah and it's also already been debunked by the B.B.C.

so please don't go around quoting it as if it's fact anymore. it really isn't.

I don't know about the BBC, but you can read what Snopes has to say about it:

snopes.com: Muslim Demographics

...actually, it looks like the Snopes piece cites the BBC findings.

People are born into Islam, its more of a culture than a religion. I've seen some Muslims defend Islam to the death yet, not live as their book commands them to. Muslims have many kids, many of the christian couples that I know want only 2 at the most 3, since kids are looked upon as being tough for marraiges. So if there is any growth in Islam it should be properly noted that one is raised/born in Islam. As oppose to Christianity, where God does the work of Salvation.

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of this book:
SGCB | YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE?: Thoughts on Immigration, Islam & Freedom

Their approach is infiltrate, procreate, dominate!
This book is to tell us the truth of their method and how to prepare our country and our children against such! Considering the passivity and tolerance in our country and how the growth of Islam has already progressed I would think it wise to know this info and to be prepared.

Couldn't watch the video, but I do have some comments.

I try to not get caught up in the whole "Islam is taking over the world" mentality. Sure, Muslims are pushing for world domination, but God is still in control, and Muslims --no matter how determined they are --cannot thwart God's plans.

Since I've been doing Muslim outreach over the last year or so I've come back, again-and-again, to the Apostle Paul's critique of Elijah in Romans 11. We may think that we are the only ones left or that there are no Christians in Muslim lands, but God does have people there who stand as a strong testimony to His saving grace.

Here's a link to a wonderful DVD that has 5 testimonies from Muslims who converted to Christianity. I haven't finished the video yet, but so far I'm amazed at how God is working in Islamic countries. Check it out.

Apparently Snopes has declared it to all be a sham (or Mostly False), so no need to worry; it is a religion of peace.

Your video is worthy to be posted and discussed about in another OP due to the high reliance the website has on dreams and visions of Jesus. What do we do with that?

Voddie Baucham has preached the message on this video far and wide...wonder if this is where he got his *facts*?

That said, while it might not be entirely true, my brother and sister-in-law are missionaries to the muslims in France...and the community *is* growing....but so is the hunger for truth.

I don't know that Snopes was necessarily declaring it a "religion of peace." They simply showed the problems with some of the (frankly ridiculous) assertions.

Having said that, there's not doubt that Islam is growing in the west. We can either cry that the sky is falling or we can make attempts to show the love of Christ to our new Muslim neighbors. That doesn't mean that our governments shouldn't take certain precautions against dangerous radicals, but I think we have to be careful of overreacting.

Well in this case, I certainly hope the postmillenialists are right.

Today, American Muslims are praying on Capitol Hill. I'll be interested to see if they reached their goal of 50,000 folks. An article I read sounded like they were not getting support from some of the larger mosques in America.

While God is sovereign and I will certainly bear persecution when it comes, being no better than my Savior, I also pray that God continues to be merciful, longsuffering and gracious to my homeland.

If that vid is true then I look at it like this...

More people to witness to

And I love witnessing to Muslims because they are not like most Americans, that is they are not postmodern and they actually have convictions, and they respect you more if you are not postmodern and you too have convictions.

Here are some pics and a report of my last trip to a mosque (i took most the pics, so i am only in one, i am the guy in the blue plaid shirt): http://fishwithtrish.blogspot.com/20...im-school.html
