Has the Muslim invasion of Europe gotten serious too soon?
If you look historically at the times where Islam has tried to conquer Christendom you find that each time they’ve been backed by massive centralized governments with all the armies and resources that you can imagine. In the West they when the French turned them back at the back of Tours an empire backed the armies of Islam. They continued to fail as the Christian armies of northern Spain push them south back across the straits of Gibraltar. In the East in the 1600s the armies of Islam tried to conquer Vienna and were turned back by the timely we arrival of the Polish Winged Hussars. Again they had all of the resources of the Ottoman Empire at their beck and call and they still are not able to do it. That was 1683. Read that date again. That was after the KJV was written, the Pilgrims and just before the Glorious Revolution in England.
The flames of conquest are being stoked again. We see violence in France, Germany and other areas. The rabble-rousers are pushing. They are upping the ante and going for broke. But is it too soon?
As far as I can see for all of their military might when it comes to bombing Israel there are no nations rooted in Islam that are strong enough to take on the countries of Europe.
I guess the real question would be, “Is Europe ready to surrender and be turned into a Muslim enclave or will there be enough people who refused to go along with that?” Examine what’s happening in England. The people are just rolling over and playing dead. Will all of Europe follow their example? Will the United States?
Interesting times.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Unfortunately a lot of Europe is lethargic in regards to being “Christian”. They don’t have to play dead. They already are dead. God still has few, though!
ReplyDelete"Already dead." Good point.
