The following is based on numerous personal conversations with Muslims, personal study and intensive training I received from a missions organization in preparation for one month of outreach in a Muslim nation in 1979.
The astonishing thing about my conversations with Muslims is that most of them have the same moral values that Christians should have, and that this is one of the biggest stumbling blocks hindering them from believing that Christianity is true. (Most of them are very warm, friendly people. Some experts estimate that only about 7-10 percent of them are affiliated in some way with radical Islam, which is still about 100 million adherents globally.)

The majority of the early church was of Middle Eastern descent (e.g., the seven churches in the book of Revelation were situated in modern day Turkey), and some of the great church fathers (Augustine, Tertullian and others) lived and ministered in North Africa (which eventually turned almost totally Islamic). Yet Christians today are reticent in regards to ministering to Muslims.

The bolded part, I take it, is a euphemism, yes?

Kind of a “natural progression,” then, from thinkers and saints like Augustine, Pachomius, Anthony, Athanasius, Origen, Cyril, Tertullian and others to…?

How did this “turning” happen? Care to elaborate?
 
First of all that is a HIGHLY generalized article, you cannot judge a whole group of believers based on those the author met in one country during the 70s.

Secondly, the article states Anti-Catholic sentiments in #2 and Anti-Mainline Protestantism sentiments in #4. Therefore I just stopped reading and I probably should have never begun.

(Also I never knew we could use color text so I did it 3 times for emphasis:rolleyes:)
