For those who realize Islam is the world’s fastest growing religion, have you wondered why, aside from their rapid population growth?
The United States and western Europe are prime examples of the decline in faithfulness toward Christianity. Christian fervor is receding. Islamic fervor is flourishing.
We don't feel our values, our religion (if any), our culture and form of government are worth defending. The fact is, the decline of a dynamic Christian faith in this nation and much of the west has left a vacuum. Nature abhors it – Islam is filling it.
We have become so critical of ourselves, who we are, where we came from, how we got here, that anything else - anything else – is seen as better.
The Obama administration is a prime example of this self-loathing and self-flagellation in action – his apology tours, and all his leftist cohorts who are ashamed of our history and our culture – just like his wife.
As many of the comments in the above link reveal, the decline of Christian faith in the west is being met with shouts of “good riddance. Now we won’t be encumbered by superstition and constrained by “Biblical morality.”
That is why we were willing to embrace "hope and change" without even caring where the "change" would lead us to. We are so desperate for something different that, when facing the challenge of a completely foreign and contrary ideology, our attitude might as well be - "Whatever." We care that much.
It will be very interesting and tragic over the next couple of decades as we observe the Islamic ideology sweep in and fill the vacuum. The advocates of amorality won’t know what hit them. Don't it always seem to go; that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
