Islam bumping up against a vibrant Christian movement in Africa

Ralph Peters:

The Islamists have it wrong: Islam isn't the world's fastest-growing religion. By birth numbers and convert tallies, it's Christianity.

And Africa's at the forefront -- a fact that's going to body-slam Muslim extremists sooner or later.

The bombings that recently butchered World Cup fans in Uganda were just the latest in a long line of crazed attacks on African Christians by Islamist fanatics. In the central states of Nigeria -- Africa's most-populous country -- religious pogroms and counter-pogroms between Muslims and Christians have become routine.

In Kenya, al Shabaab terrorists from neighboring Somalia stir up trouble and make grotesque threats. And we all know what bestial acts Sudan's Islamist government has perpetrated against black Christians over the decades.

Throughout the region, patience is wearing thin. Africa's impassioned forms of charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity won't turn the other cheek forever. The coming backlash could be ferocious (even dictatorships could exploit a vengeful popular mood).

The Islamist imperialists pushing to expand in Africa would do well to recall that Christianity has historical claims on such states as Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Are they ready for mass violence aimed at a rollback? Or state conflicts?

...
It could happen although historically the African tribes have not fought outside their region. But will attacks coming from outside, they may respond in kind. The senselessness of the attacks on people watching a soccer match is liable to inflame passions against the mass murder for Allah attacks from Somalia.

  1. Islam is not a religion. It is a cult led by Allah who is Satan and Satan's son Muhammad. The cult of Islam persecutes its own people using Shariah Law which is Satan's Law. Islam practices mutilation, stoning, and murder along with many other atrocities. Women and girls have no rights. If you believe that Islam is so holy, then why isn't all religions allowed in Muslim countries, to include the home of Satan's son Muhammad's home of Makkah? The cult if islam must be banned in all countries except Satan's Mideast. Get the cult of Islam out Of America.
