The cenotaph memorial unveiled by King George V on 11th November 1920, stands as a lonely reminder in the middle of Whitehall Road of the great sacrifice and courage for those who fought for this land. Armistice day, or Veterans Day in America, is always held on the 11th of November. It draws Royalty, political leaders, veterans and families together in remembrance and minutes of silent contemplation. This year, a pro-Palestinian march is planed for armistice day, and that raises all sorts of questions, if we dare ask them…

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.

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?

“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.

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 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.

Trials and arrests allow for no mistake, and when rulings disagree with your cause, calls for hatred and harm ring from mansion owners, sitting rulers, down to street-dwellers. Hatred reigns, communities hurt, families divide.

For some, evil is committed only by a select group, and if your own group engages in similar deeds, it is no longer considered evil. For others evil is done only by a certain religious group, or an ethnic group. But thine own group shalt do no wrong.

Make no mistake - we are evil.

But there is a way to secure transformation and healing…

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?

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...

The Taliban have got the world talking! “Women will be given freedom within the limits of Islam.” Those last five words are the sticking point, and the world shudders at what they could potentially mean. Some will say it depends on how you interpret Islamic law; yes, there is that, but what does the Qur’an say? What does the life of Muhammad exemplify for men in their interactions with women. What were his limits? What are the limits implemented by the god of Islam - Allah? What does Allah say?

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…

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…
