Will moral degradation in the America's allow for a possible Islamic Nation?

[PutresOmega]

It is highly unlikely. Islam for all it’s differences is on the same side against many of those moral degradation and would be received as poorly as any previous church. Additionally, fundamentalist faith doesn’t flourish as well in places where IQ is higher. Hence why the more dangerous religious types that are cutting heads off and killing each other with rocks tend to be found in places like Sub Saharan Africa and the Middle East and not Japan or Iceland.

I posted an article about Islam that addressed these very issues. Mohammud addressed the illerate, uneducated, un learned, totally ignorant people from a totally EMOTIONAL level, because that is all these people understood. It’s not like you are trying to convince an audience of PHS’s your philosoply. Mohammud addressed the lowest of the low. Not that we would shun that but they choose what to believe…don’t know why nor do I understand the dynamics going on in the world today…

True chimo, **but **we must not allow ourselves to be idle or stagnate. We must prevent and defend against evil at all cost and all moments.

Yes that is true. Yet this cannot for instance bring a great number of people to participate in just a crusade unless they are willing to do so. The fact is and history has always recorded it that when faith diminishes in any country or society certain sufferings will come to help it bring it back to its senses. The real question we need to ask is how are we going to effect the many peoples in our country of Canada and the United States to actually work for the Lord? The Lord needs numbers to actually reverse the trend that is now occurring in our societies. As another point which I like to throw in, I believe we are struggling presently now because both Churches, Orthodox and Catholic are unwilling to work together. We have so many strengths within each Church yet we have also great weaknesses as seen in our present situation. It is to my observation that the strength of each Church will help tremendously in what each Church is now weak in. If we can only put our own house in order we as Orthodox, Eastern Christians and Catholics will make to be a formidable force to give witness for our Lord Jesus Christ. The crisis we are now facing is the result of our Churches not addressing a unified Church, The only cure to put our own house together is to have the Laity to really come to terms to discover each Church and to welcome it as part of their lives. This takes a lot of courage and for some reason we are afraid on both sides to do something about it. The Pope, Patriarchs and Bishops cannot unite our Churches unless we as the Laity come to discover each other Church’s treasures and strengths so as to make it our own.
