Middle East Stretching Out

A missionary friend of mine asked me if Christians were needing to increase the birth rate as a means of heading off the Islamic expansion. She was clearly concerned about this since she sees first hand what Muslims are attempting to do in the lands where she does missionary work. I believe her concern is a legitimate one.

The Iowa Legislature began its session with a prayer from an Imam as reported by the Pilot Tribune:

The prayer asked of "Victory over those who disbelieve," and "Protection from the great Satan" among other things.

James Swan recently called the Diving Line and discussed this issue with Dr. White. In this audio clip, they speak of some very scary statistics. In France women are having 1.8 children per woman while Muslims have well over 4.5. In Russia, the average is 1.5. In order for a nation to maintain its population, it must have at least 2.1 children per woman.

You might say, “So what?” As Dr. White points out, it is only a matter of time before these nations come under Islamic rule. Secularism simply is not able to withstand Islam. With prayers like the above one mentioned, don’t think for a moment that Muslims don’t have us in their sites.
