The Kingdom of God Among Muslims

About the Book

Evangelism is always diffi cult among other religions particularly among Muslims anywhere in the world. It is more problematic in the Muslim countries rather than the west, because Muslim countries have laws to promote Islamic education and protect from other religions. There are fi fty two countries called Muslim countries in the world. Evangelism among Muslims in those countries is always abandoned, in other words legally not allowed in the marketplace or other public places to share their faith among Muslims. There are some countries have introduced Sharia laws to run their government affairs because in Islam politics and religion goes hand in hand. This is called Islamilization in Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and most other middle east countries. Sometimes Christian missionaries, evangelists, educators, and local Christian pastors do engage in evangelization or debates to share their faith with mutual understanding among Muslims. Often however, the result becomes a disaster, missionaries, evangelists, educators, and local pastors are killed due to the twisted ideology of some uneducated Muslim Imams. Christian people are a local national minority in those Muslim countries. It is sad to say that whenever American politicians introduce new policies in the world, the Muslim countries somehow take American interests against Islam. The Muslim religious leaders propagate American policies against Muslims. The reaction against those policies strikes violent riots against Christianity. The targets are local churches, schools, hospitals, and academic institutions for their rage and anger. Often these institutions are burned or destroyed because of the lack of knowledge.
