Peaceful/ Moderate Islam?
Here is a link to a story I read recently. http://www.christianitytoday.com/gleanings/2015/january/robert-p-george-saudi-arabia-whip-me-raif-badawi-uscirf.html There is no peaceful/ moderate Islam. As Ravi Zacharias said it so well " Is there such a thing as Moderate Islam?". From what I see and read, moderate Islam exists in this country alone and no other. Islam has one goal only and that is to convert the whole world and set up a world wide Caliphate. You either convert or die, there is no 3rd option or alternative. Moderate Muslims are just as vile to the Fundamentalists, commonly referred to as Radicals, as any other infidel! Their spread in this country is quite frightening! The main reason Islam is growing in this nation is because Christians have not been the witnesses we should have been and we have not lead people to Christ as we were told in the Great Commission.
A recent sign of how far we have slipped is in letting a Muslim call to prayer being broadcast from a Christian church! It was at Duke University! Here is the link. http://therightscoop.com/duke-university-to-hold-muslim-call-to-prayer-services-in-christian-church/ Do you think a Mosque would allow Christians in this country to do this? Much less in a Muslim country like Saudia Arabia? Of course not! Then why are we laying down our rights as a Christian people? This is absurd behavior! We need to wake up and stand up for our rights as Christian people or, we will no longer be a Christian nation! These people are not wanting to assimilate and become Christians and Americans they want to come to this country and convert it to Islam and bring about the worldwide Caliphate!

Moderate Muslims and The Great Commission
Why do Evangelical Christians waste so much time trying to get Moderate Muslims to admit that what the Radical Muslims are doing is wrong? The radicals are doing exactly what the Koran tells them to do, they are the Fundamentalists of their religion. The thing is, the Radicals are not open to discussion of their beliefs, it is convert or die, whereas the moderates are. With a moderate Muslim you can have a dialogue and a chance to witness to them, something you will never have with a Radical/ Fundamentalist.
We are not told in Scripture that everyone who hears our message will repent and believe, only that we are to preach the Gospel in and out of season. 2 Timothy 4:1 " I charge thee in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
2 Timothy 4:2 preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching." At one time Jesus had thousands following Him, but after His death, only 120 were in the Upper room. Acts 1:15 "And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons gathered together, about a hundred and twenty), "
We should not waste so great an opportunity to witness to these people. It is not our job as Christians to judge these people, but to witness and to warn them of their error. They are God's children just like we are. God is not a respecter of persons, but loves all equally. Rom 2:11 " for there is no respect of persons with God." Jesus died for all sinners and that includes Muslims. Therefore we should reach out to the Muslim world just as we would to any other with the Gospel, the only thing that can save them and offer them complete forgiveness from their sins.
