I believe most of these are real believers. And I am not taking an X-Files 'I want to believe' viewpoint.
Obviously I want to believe, but this is logical, and makes sense. These people were brought up in a society that was trying to revere God, but there was always something a bit off with there religion. Hmm... what was it? Let me see if I can put my finger on it ...
Oh yes, it was utterly crazy and Satanic. Anyone who read the Koran, or heard the rants from there mullahs could draw that conclusion.
But obviously most kept there mouths shut in Islam land. Some brave Believers confessed their belief in Christ, but most people are cowards and even though they know better - they keep their mouths shut if public pronouncements will bring a load of bricks on their heads.
But now that they are out of Islam land, even though still in danger, they are probably checking out this thing called Christianity. And I don't doubt that the Holy Spirit is bringing many to Christ.
It is ironic. We are called out to bring the Gospel to all nations - but we have done a poor job in bringing it to Islamland. Be it cowardice, sloth, or Government opposition (why we allow Saudi Arabia to build thousands of mosques in the United States, yet don't complain that they allow zero churches in Saudi Arabia, is disgraceful) - we (with a few exceptions) have done a poor job in evangelizing the lost in Islamland.
Yet God has means, and if we won't go to the lost in Islamland, He will bring them here.
I don't doubt that there are some infiltrators in their midst - but I believe most are genuine.
Well said.
Heard from a couple converting muslims in Detroit—apparently many of these people, particularly the new arrivals, are very willing to convert. Many of them actually know very little about their own religion other than what they are told, so it’s not so much that they were true believers, they were just trying to survive in their own communities. They quickly recognize the difference between good and evil.
