All for the greater glory of God!
Peace be with you!
Quote:I dont expect that you will understand this concept FHC, but even if the christians would wish to kill me (and maybe that is not so far-fetched) it will not make me wish to turn my back on my faith. No matter what kind of obstacles the non-believers will try to put in the way, Islam is going to grow. In fact, they help us more than harm us.
If non-Islamic groups were severely persecuting Muslims & they chose to die as martyrs, obviously the growth of Islam will decline not increase.
According to the "Complete Idiot's Guide to Islam", the Sufi movement saved the Islamic race from becoming extinct between 1500-1900 when numbers were dropping rapidly (p339). Some might say its divine providence, others are predicting Islam won't be around next century. Time will tell, I guess!
Anyways, at the end of the day, statistics don't bother me personally. If 99% of the world's population were non-fanatical Muslims & only 1% were Christians, I'd be quite content. My concerns aren't with moderate Muslims, it's with extreme Islam!
You take care too, Sis!
P.S. I probably won't be around till after Easter.
God bless.
