Hey, I am not surprised by the ascent of Islam since many Christain churches have been taken over by heathens who preace intolerance. Doesn't do much for *teaching* the story of Jesus Christ.

I look around me and see the folks that the rest of the world are hearing. These are the George Bush's and Johmn Ashcroft's, the Jerry Falwell's, the Trent Lott's, the Dick Army's. These folks one one hand say to the world, "We are Christains." Then they go about engaging in behaviors that would make Jesus get down on his kness and puke. Intolerance. Hatred, Killing, Lieing. Stealing. Blasphomy!

Yeah, you don't see Christains praying in public. You don't see Christains making sacrife. But we Islamic people taking time out during a battle in Afganistan to pray.

Now, for once I don't know how real Follower's of Christ can win back the churches, win back the heathens who use *Christianity* as political tool but if it doesn't happen, then at least the Christain churches will loose more and more people to the Islam temples.

I myself try every day to hear God, to know Jesus and to let others know that He is just waiting for them to join in and begin to accpet His love and His blessings but, like I said, there aren't enough folks like us to counter the PR driven maniacs who get all the press.

We just need to take back the churches that have been corrupted and the souls of those wolves in sheep clothing. One at a time...

Praise be to Jesus!
