The Jugger-Not Of Islam — Don’T Hold Upward Fooled!
... Things are non what they seem!
by Mateen Elass: Popular wisdom today portrays Islam every bit a juggernaut whose dry soil domination is inevitable. “It’s the world’s fastest growing religion,” we’re told. “By 2060 it volition surpass Christianity every bit the world’s largest faith,” futurists predict. Imams regularly gloat over Islam’s inroads into Western club as well as hope that America as well as Europe volition bow to Islamic rule. Image final result for "Islam volition dominion the world"Many signs appear to confirm this assessment. But things are non e'er what they seem.
While it is truthful that statisticians mensurate Islam’s worldwide increase at 1.9% annually as well as Christianity’s at 1.2%, inward the instance of Islam that figure is calculated largely on the footing of nascence rates inward Muslim bulk nations (which every bit instant as well as tertiary dry soil countries grow significantly faster than Western populations). In Islam, children born to Muslim parents are automatically Muslims according to Shari’a law. The same is non truthful inward Christianity, where “membership” is based on the personal profession of faith past times its adherents. Thus, of the full numerical increase of Islam inward whatever 1 year, some 96% of that disclose is due to “biological reproduction,” non conversion.
In improver to this, statisticians pay piffling or no attending to attrition from the ranks. Of course, Islam makes apostasy a working capital alphabetic quality crime, then it takes immense courage for quondam Muslims to openly declare their divergence from the faith. However, where Muslims alive inward costless societies, increasing waves are leaving for atheism, Christianity or Western-style hedonism. According to indigenous Christian leaders as well as unusual missionaries with Muslim people groups around the world, tens of millions of Muslims inward the terminal iii decades take away hold kicking the bucket followers of Christ. Since close of this happens below the radar, it does non larn factored inward to the statistical reports.
Even to a greater extent than revealing is the fact that across the dry soil (according to the 2000 edition of the World Christian Encyclopedia) roughly 950,000 people convert to Islam annually from another belief system. In contrast to this, roughly iii times that disclose (2.7 million) exit their quondam belief systems to kicking the bucket followers of Christ. In many of these cases, converts confront serious persecution as well as hardship for their newfound commitment to Christ, yet they persevere. Converts to Islam, on the other hand, typically reckon piffling persecution past times their communities as well as instead are folded into the bulk Muslim civilization around them.
Lastly, though draw of piece of job solid statistics are difficult to come upwards by, Pew Research estimates that inward America roughly the same disclose exit Islam every bit convert to Islam annually, then that the Muslim population remains static. H5N1 disclose of American imams, however, challenge that figure, stating that according to their sense many converts exit Islam (or merely kicking the bucket “non-practitioners” within v years) — with percentages varying from 50-75% depending on the imam (see here, for example).
What does all this mean? Though Islam is bringing lots of babies into the fold, it is non attracting a high percent of novel converts, as well as fifty-fifty with those converts non many rest Muslims over the long haul. Likewise, the “back door” of the menage of Islam is broad open, as well as many of those born into Islam are finding inward adulthood that life exterior the menage is to a greater extent than appealing or fulfilling than life inside. Further, the vast bulk of those born within Islam who rest Muslim are laid-back, irregular or “relaxed” inward their utilisation of Islam as well as then non inclined to fuel the jihad mandate of the Qur’an as well as Sunnah (the representative of Muhammad). Only a relatively pocket-sized segment of the Muslim dry soil is active inward jihadi campaigns, as well as it could live on argued that the admittedly horrific terror as well as bloodshed they inflict genuinely does to a greater extent than to harden the non-Muslim dry soil against the message of Islam than to get its knees to bow inward abject surrender.
So, land Islam worldwide is silent a forcefulness that needs to live on reckoned with, it is past times no way a juggernaut of inexorable destiny. Its religious foundations are crumbling every bit the Qur’an as well as Islam’s early on history are coming nether intellectual scrutiny; Image final result for crumbling mosqueits formerly cocooned adherents are beingness liberated to attempt truth beyond the confines of the Qur’an through the Internet, social media, satellite TV as well as radio, also every bit the draw of piece of job concern as well as cultural effects of globalization; the Spirit of God is bringing dreams, visions, healings as well as supernatural encounters to Muslims, pointing them to the dear as well as lordship of Jesus Christ, such that inward many Muslim-majority countries the menage church building movement is sweeping through regions similar wildfire.
While nosotros must hold our vigilance against the existent threat of jihadi terrorism as well as the ideology which inspires it, nosotros must non autumn prey to the myth that Islam’s advance across the dry soil is inevitable. Quite the contrary!
Things are non what they seem. Become informed. Take heart. The gospel advances. Jesus remains on the throne (Acts 2:34-36). All volition live on good inward the end.
