Excellent article until the last paragraph. Christianity does provide the moral guidelines people are seeking. But unlike Islam, requires personal decisions to apply them to their lives. The Bible certainly asserts “the limits of behavior.” It’s the many modern secularized, “progressive” churches, especially rampant in Europe, that have shunned individual interpretation in favor of collective tolerance and moral relativism.
Conscience abhors a vacuum. Where a culture abandons Christian faith some other system must replace it. Old world Europe seems to have selected a menu of slavish Islam, nihilistic anarchy and that tired and tried evasion of personal responsibility – socialism.
But then again the conversions of these women may have a much simpler explanation. After all people pay good money to be beaten and humiliated.
