Let's Assume the Worst

Hypothetically, let us assume that all of Islam is conspiring together to bring sharia law to the United States. Let us assume there are no moderate Muslims, and that there is a genuine conspiracy afoot in this country to take over, whatever that means. Let us assume that all the moderate Muslims are only role playing in order to surreptitiously gain some kind of “foothold”. So let us assume the worst is actually true and the extremists do indeed represent Islam and are telling the “God’s (Allah’s) honest truth“.

What should be the response of Americans? Fear, hatred, bigotry, and returning violence for violence should be the American response.

What should be the response of those who believe in the Lord Jesus and follow His teachings?

It will always be the same regardless of the situation. Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ is our divine calling to any and all situations. America as a nation will one day pass away, but the souls of all Muslims are eternal. You do the math.

Reading your comments again, and pondering. What strikes me is that Muslims are a "mission field" for the message of Jesus: God has even brought them here among us: we can be missionaries without leaving home.

How supremely UNWISE to approach those you wish to evangelize with fear, hatred, and suspicion.

In Jesus, Steve
