On why Christians should try to convert Muslims
Macleans ^ | May 21, 2010 | Kate Fillion

Q: What does Islam do to the liberal psyche? A: Confuses it. The liberal psyche wants to protect minorities, to apologize for imperialism, colonialism, slavery, and the appalling treatment of black people during the civil rights movement. At the same time, they want to continue to defend the rights of individuals. They’ve convinced themselves that the best way to do that in general is to defend the cultures that are non-white. But what they forget, and what they’re being confronted with, is that non-white cultures contain misogynistic, collectivist, tribal, gay-unfriendly and female-hostile traditions. And so they’re confused: on the one hand, they’re looking at minorities as groups they need to save and speak up for, and on the other hand, they’re confronted with the ideas and practices of individuals within those minorities that are very undemocratic and appalling, really.

This is not true of liberals. The very concept of individual, rather than collective, rights is anathema to leftists. Liberals are never happy if there is a single individual on earth who is freely choosing to do anything, or believing in anything, that does not comport with liberalism's cultic theology.

We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war. - Ann Coulter

You are absolutely right; liberals live via "groupthink"...there's not a free-thinking individual in the lot.

As far as converting muslims...lost cause. If there is more than one, they would probably drag you behind a tree and slit your throat.

Any "religion"/cult that does the cruel things that islam does, has no conscience and it probably so throughly brainwashed that you could never convert them to anything else.

Compost.

Because otherwise we’d have to kill them?

This is an easy problem to solve for liberals: Bush’s fault.

Figure out how to convert a Marxist to Christianity and you can figure out how to do the same with a Muslim.

Its going to be illegal and many will say its morally wrong and even discussing it may bring unwarranted reaction.

But it all boils down to keeping Islam out of our lives.

Zero tolerance no matter how cute the girls are or how sincere they claim to be about living in America.

Islam free cities, workplaces and schools.

We must each do our part to heavily discourage Muslims to either leave the country or convert.

Some true observations, though her recommendation is odd, as she is a feminists who thinks God is dead, due to her own deadness. But atheism is benefited by the effects of true Christianity, though they use aberrations of it as examples to rail against.

It is those who cannot assert that men like Hitler and Mcveigh were Christians that are most dangerous, as such are either be easily deceived or seek to do so. The New Testament (covenant) makes the kingdom of God to be spiritual, and hence its means of “war” are, and forbids to the church the use of the sword to convert others or defend the faith, or the church ruling over those without. (1Cor. 5:12; 2Cor. 6:1-10; 10:4; Eph. 6:12). What the Roman church required ignorance of the Bible among the laity, and ecclesiastical presumption to superiority over it.

What the Bible does foster is that of souls being ruled from within, so that they need not be ruled from without. http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/CauseEffect.html

As for atheism, while the Bible can be manifestly misused, the objectively baseless moral foundation of atheism Islam allows anything to be justified as “reasonable”, as men like Mao and Pol Pot exampled. http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/Atheism1.html

As for Islam it does indeed promote religious violence. See http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/JESUS.Vs.Muhammad.html

They will defend “individual rights” when it is good for the collective and their social engineering goals.

We should remember to try to reach Leftists for the same reason, though we should not be disappointed when reasonable discussions don't go very far. Muslims at least believe that they are trying to do the Lord's will; Leftists aren't even logical enough to admit that their religion is a religion at all.

I agree. No one is unreachable to God. We are told:

2 Timothy 4:1,2
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.

Actually, I get the feeling a lot of life-long muslims want out, but because they want to live, not die. Cast the nets.
