Mostly only those who have lived within Islamic communities and
have studied their primary documents (Quran, Hadith and Sira) can
appreciate what is happening as revivalist classic Islam spreads
its message and activities around the world. Western Christian
religious leaders, preoccupied with domestic issues internal to
their own movements, mostly don't understand. Some hope the whole
issue will just go away. Others with a more universalist outlook
imagine that with minor cultural adjustments, we can all live
happily together forever after. So when the Archbishop of
Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, suggested that aspects of Shariah
Law were inevitable for Britain, other religious leaders briefly
noted his comments before returning to former preoccupations. In
the same country, when British Baptist pastor, David Pawson said
Britain would become Islamic unless the church changed, even
evangelical leaders berated him. Some Christian leaders disagreed.
But Muslim leaders optimistically suggested that it wouldn't happen
for 5 to 10 years Jay Smith, who regularly debates Muslim
apologists in the public forum of Hyde Park in London and
elsewhere, notes that Christian protestant Theological Colleges are
still focused on Reformation controversies of four centuries ago.
Although Islam is rapidly gaining traction around the world, not
one Christian college which trains the next generation of Christian
leaders, is yet, teaching a course on Islamic apologetics. This
book is an attempt to help the busy reader to understand what is
happening and in general terms, how Christians need to respond. Not
to do so could mean that our children, or more certainly our
grandchildren, may grow up not in countries which for centuries
have been sustained by a Judeo-Christian worldview, but in those
increasingly dominated by Islamic ideology. Chapters: 1 - The
Islamic Challenge 2 - The Challenge of Politics 3 - The Challenge
of Finance 4 - The Challenge of Demographics 5 - The Challenge of
Religion 6 - How has this happened? 7 - How may we respond? What
others are saying: In The Challenge Of Islam, Stuart Robinson
issues a clarion call to Christians everywhere to wake up, open
their eyes to the gathering storm clouds of a global Islamic
resurgence, and determine to make the Great Commission their first
priority. To ignore this timely and urgent call is to sow a bitter
harvest for future generations, but those who heed it will reap the
reward of participating in one of the most phenomenal Gospel
harvests the world has ever seen. Rev. Dr Mark Durie, Anglican
vicar and author - Melbourne, Australia There are very few people
anywhere with the encyclopedic grasp and in-depth understanding of
Islam as Stuart Robinson. In this deeply scholarly and very
readable volume he informs, teaches, challenges and warns both the
West generally, and the Church specifically, of the political,
economic, social and religious advance of militant Islam with its
aims of world conquest. Here is a clarion call and warning which
all concerned for Christian truth and mission must heed and act on.
Michael Cassidy, Founder African Enterprise - South Africa Dr.
Robinson issues a clarion call to Christians worldwide to interact
with present day Islamic expansionist programs. He powerfully
concludes with a plea for believers to overcome fear and share a
loving witness with Muslim acquaintances. Dr Phil Parshall, SIM
Missionary at Large - Philippines
