…about Islam, Christianity, the Trinity, the Bible, society…
Secular Islam
Islam claims a quarter of the world’s population. Yet emerging from that statistic is an Islam devoid of faith. There are many disbelievers among the masses of Muslims across the world. The article claims Hawkin’s book ‘the God delusion’ is one of the most downloaded books in the Arab world. This should cause the Christian to pause and consider if there is any other book that would be far more helpful to the Muslim abandoning the Islamic faith.
Islam and Progress
In our modern society there is much talk about Islam being a progressive religion, how Muhammad was a keen feminist, an advocate for women rights, a protector of the venerable and an all round decent guy, that his attitudes, ideas and beliefs are something that our modern society can really benefit from! But is this true?
Responding to Different Opinions
How do we respond to those who categorically disagree with our ideas? And more, what if a group of people dare to oppose the status quo of society and its trends. What do we do when society seems bent on policies that undermine all that we know to be true and good, and good for the country? What if we don’t respond and don’t speak the truth?
The Western World!
“You are just worried what we will do to you when Britain becomes Islamic!” A Muslim missionary had snarled at me after I was talking with a Muslim woman about Muhammad’s treatment of the women whose husbands his army had just slaughtered.
The depth of hate levelled at truth tellers is sadly embedded in modern society. Searchers for truth now expect a vengeful response from those who disagree, and good ideas get shot down for simply being ‘old-fashioned’, or worse, for not conforming to a powerful minority who weald a new unyielding (and likely temporary) ‘category’ or definition.
Labels & Islamophobia
Phobias, Islam and "Islamophobia" has been in the news a fair bit recently. As conservative commentators discuss Islam, they rightly highlight their concern about the over used slur “Islamophobia.” Noone really knows what it means, but accusers generally mean to label you as a hater of Islam or Muslims. ‘Phobia’ labels are usually given to shut down free speech. The Christian is faced with a dilemma here. Go along quietly, or dare to love enough to disagree with some powerful forces among today’s elite rulers.
Christ Centred Mission
Christ centred Mission among Western Missionaries to Islamic lands is a dynamic concept. Historically Christians held Christ close and proclaimed Him clearly to nations who deny His divinity. But trends in the late 1990s and early 2000s produced an obscure Jesus for the Muslim world. That trend is fading, and a clear and true presentation of Jesus is longed for more than ever. At One Truth Project we join with the world wide historical Church to proclaim Christ as our true and only Saviour. He is the escape from bondage, the one who is calling all Muslims out of Islam into His eternal family; We proclaim that Christ is the Saviour of us all.
Islamic Terrorism
Lone-wolf Islamic terrorists continue to rise up, rarely in the West, often in Africa and Asia. Pundits describe the atrocities as “an aberration of Islam”, Moderate Islamic voices and Western politicians offer their opinions, but one thing remains - these atrocities keep happening in the name of Islam. We need to investigate is Qur’anic text supports the attackers actions? We need to ask if Muhammad’s life offers a foundation for terrorism in the name of Islam to continue?
How did this happen?!
For all their fear, brutality and death-cult violence... the Taliban have something to believe in, and it drives them to defeat vastly more powerful armies. The new Western order cannot win hearts and minds, cannot beat rag tag groups of 300 fighters. The fanatical Communists of the 1950's were vastly outnumbered... but won. The religious zealots of this present age are vastly outnumbered... but consistently win.
Why? The power of a cause - a creed - a holistic vision...
My Afghani Friends
Some of my most treasured moments have been in the home of my Afghani friends. My American friend and I spent the best part of 5 years visiting them, almost every week. We were both single, and we had more time to give, plus the Lord had given us a deep love for Muslim people. Both of us disagree with the religion of Islam, but some of our best friends belong to the religion, and disagreeing with their beliefs has never come in the way of our friendships…
Afghanistan’s Salvation
While Islam’s swift and rumoured brutal conquest through Afghanistan to Kabul, might have taken much of the world by surprise, a quick look at Islam’s past impact on the world, shows us that we are seeing history repeat itself. The West enabled a temporary peace through military power, but hearts and minds remained the same, and long-lasting freedom has become fleeting. The true solution was not given; Afghanistan and the West need that solution…
The Islamic Taliban
The Taliban’s sudden take-over of Afghanistan has shocked the Western world. Why? History tells us the same story repeatedly. Islam has often conquered brutally and quickly. Some may ask if the Taliban is Islamic - a quick overview of the Qur’an, Muhammad's life, Islam’s history and it’s laws give a clear answer to this question…
Who is Abraham’s God?
Do Muslims, Christians and Jews worship the same God? Does it matter which God we worship? Who is Abraham’s God? Big questions in an age of syncretism. This blog begins to question the newly coined term: ‘Abrahamic religions’.
