I disagree that ISIS attacks will grow the Christianity. It doesn’t take a Christian to recognize the difference between good and evil.

There are some muslims who will re evaluate Christianity when they see the quiet courage of these martyrs.

Muslims in Egypt and Jordan for example are very disgusted by the carnage.

Some thought the Romans could never convert. But the savage treatment of the Christians helped to accomplish a revival.

I disagree

Me too. Islam is one of the few groups that has dealt effectively with Christians in the past, far better than communism did. Dhimmitude and death together along with sharia law is a terrible combination that Christians have not been able to deal with without overwhelming force.

I don't believe there has been a country that has had Christianity stage a come back once Islam conquered it, that is unless it was taken back entirely by force and threw the Islamists out. Spain did that long ago, it may be the only way.

Please check out the Cristero movement and the martyrdom of people like Blessed Miguel Augustin Pro.
