Christian Missionaries Sweeping the Islamic World

Deceitful methods christians use to convert unsuspecting Muslims, can Muslims trust christians?

Let us first discuss some of the new ways that Christian missionaries are using in the Islamic world, these new methods have been applied because the old methods did not prove as effective as the Christian missionaries thought they were. Some of the problems were the great gap between Islam and Christianity such as the principle of trinity and escalation of Jesus PBUH. Some of these new ways are :

One of the biggest moneymakers for television evangeliststs is claiming to have great success in converting Muslims and Hindus to Christianity. They often cite testimonials of people who have been converted to encourage their flock to continue donating to their coffers. Testimonials are common, they cannot be disapproved and are very vague. Citing their success used: "Eighteen year old boy from Syria." "Woman from Morocco." "Grandmother of regular viewing children" and "Man from Morocco."

It's real tough getting into Malaysia because its such a closed Muslim nation," says Cindy Bowen. "But the good Lord has been opening doors. We couldn't openly go for a while, but then Mike got hired as a consultant with permanent resident status there through a landscaping company." The Bowens' photo album shows Mike Bowen landscaping a golf course for the Agrigreen Machine & Landscape Company of Petaling Jaya and pastoring in a small apartment church in Kuala Lumpur. "We wouldn't have been able to go in otherwise," says Cindy Bowen. "The company that hired us is owned by Muslims, but there are some Christians on the Board of Directors who helped us get in. It's kind a funny that a Muslim-owned company has opened the way for us to spread the Gospel in Malaysia. You gotta love the wicked!"

In the Washington Post, February 22nd, the CIA admitted a "controversial loophole" that permits the agency to "employ clerics and missionaries for clandestine work overseas".

During famines, you will find them swarming to our lands under the cloak of 'aid' or 'relief' work. They will bring aid and relief but it isn't given to the Muslims for free - it does have a price.

If you go to a missionary church in a typical African country you'll find that it resembles a mosque more than the archetypal church. The worshippers stand in rows during prayer and sit on the ground in circles during classes... When reciting the bible they even use a style of recitation exactly the same as the Qura'nic Tajweed. It's all a calculated deception..

Perhaps the most insidious method used by the missionaries is to kidnap Muslim children from war-torn countries and sell them to non-Muslims to raise

as disbelievers.

Then there are the apparent attempts by some missionaries to camouflage their faith as a kind of Islam: inviting prospective converts to "Jesus mosques," publicly reciting the Muslim creed, "There is no God but God, and Muhammad is his prophet"; or allowing themselves to be regarded as Muslim mystics, or Sufis. Such techniques are rationalized as part of "contextualization," the necessary presentation of new ideas in a familiar idiom. But Ibrahim Hooper, of the Washington advocacy group Council on American-Islamic Relations, claims, "They know it won't work to just say, 'We want you to become Christian, and here's why.' So they have to pretend to be Muslims."

Jesus Mosques: They leave their shoes at the door, and ritually wash their hands, feet and heads. They kneel on mats in unison and bow their heads to the ground. They recite chants in Arabic, pray five times a day, and worship on Friday, not Sunday.

These Muslims look and sound like other Muslims the world over. Except they worship the God of the Bible, believe Jesus is the Messiah and only source of salvation, and follow Him. When they pray, they face Jerusalem, not Mecca.

Missionaries Alejandro and Bertha Ortiz, searching for ways to spread the gospel among Muslims in Benin, felt led by the Lord to start such a place of worship. It has helped them reach into the Muslim community. They believe it will help new believers in Christ—who feel out of place in traditional Christian churches—grow in their faith, and pass it on in their Muslim culture without being summarily rejected and cast out of their community.

The Ortizes’ fledgling house of worship is not the only such place in the Muslim world. “Jesus mosques,” as they sometimes are called, also can be found in the Middle East and Asia. In one Muslim nation, more than 100,000 Muslims reportedly worship Jesus as Messiah in 100-plus mosques. Some “Jesus mosques” start from scratch, like the Ortizes’ initiative. Others are traditional mosques transformed by Muslims who embrace Jesus as Lord. In still other cases, individual followers of Christ remain in typical mosques, quietly worshiping God as they seek to be “salt and light” among Muslims.

The Stealth Crusade

News: Inside one Southern university, Christian missionaries are being trained to go undercover in the Muslim world and win converts for Jesus. Their stated goal: to wipe out Islam.

The growing movement to hunt souls in Muslim lands-by missionaries who often pass as aid workers, teachers, or business owners-has raised hackles outside the evangelical world. Missionaries themselves acknowledge that their work endangers the lives of converts, and critics charge that it disrupts the delivery of humanitarian aid and fuels resentment of Westerners during one of the most dangerous moments in recent history. But to those at the heart of the movement, including Rick Love's students, any damage done by their work is outweighed by the importance of their mission: to wipe out Islam. "I believe it's a false religion, and I'd like to see it be gone," says Kim McHugh, a 36-year-old CIU student who is training to convert Iranian refugees in Turkey. Her husband Brent agrees. "If they don't have a chance to experience Jesus," he says, "they're going to hell."

Iraqi patriarch slams US evangelicals

The head of Iraq's largest Christian community has denounced American evangelical missionaries in his country for what he said were attempts to convert poor Muslims by flashing money and smart cars.

Patriarch Emmanuel Delly, head of the Chaldean Catholic Church, said on Thursday that many Protestant activists had come to Iraq after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003 and set up what he called "boutiques" to attract converts.

Delly said Iraq did not need missionaries as its Christian churches dated back long before Protestantism. As for trying to convert Muslims, he said: "You can't even talk about that here."

Christians make up 3% of Iraq's 26 million mostly Muslim population, the largest group being the 600,000 Chaldeans who are Eastern rite Catholics linked to the Vatican.

Saying the evangelicals were not real missionaries, Delly said they attracted poor youths with displays of money and taking them "out riding in cars to have fun".

"Then they take photos and send them here, to Germany, to the United States and say 'look how many Muslims have become Christian'," he said.
