“…it’s apparently up to the churches to stand up to Islamofascism.”
Don’t count on that. Local churches are often complacent, and many of the mainline Protestant bureaucracies are lining up for dhimmitude in the name of “tolerance.” This summer’s ELCA confirmation camp at Rock Island, IL included a trip to a mosque where our teenagers were lectured about the war in Iraq. The parents at our church were deliberately NOT told about this field trip in advance. It took a trip to the Bishop’s office to get at the truth of what had happened. In the end, the Bishop agreed that parents should be told about such events in advance — but remained sincerely perplexed that anyone might have questions or objections to taking teenaged confirmands into a mosque.
Parishoners of all denominations should take a look at what the national-level churches are up to — and in particular at how their tithes are being spent. We have suspended our own offering and are instead sending it directly to charities that we can support.
