    I have also witnessed to Muslims before. I don't know if any of them became Christians or not.

    They are a tough crowd.

    However, I know some that have become believers . . . and then they are rejected by their former people, and they are considered to be non-believable by way too many 'Christians'.

    The senator may be correct, the only way of controlling the issue is to place a moratorium on islamic immigration until we have a clue who's side they are on. 10 years maybe?

    Not yet. But that does not deter me from trying -- and I have learned much about why they believe so deeply. Many of the tracts Waheed gave to me in return for mine quote American Christians who have converted to Islam. People who were giving testimony as to how they came to understand Christianity was in error and that all men are born Muslim and some needed to return.

    Our tracts, on the other hand, quoted scripture -- primarily the Roman Road, which has worked well with the unsaved, but not so well with Muslims who believe the Bible to be in error.

    I am very concerned that while we are fighting foreign Islamists that we are forgetting to witness to local Muslims who need Christ. I have not found material directed to Muslims, though they have material specifically targeting Christians -- explaining the Biblical errors of our ways.

    That is why I cannot support the gyrating logic of immigration fears from the OP. As Christians, we should be deeply concerned about reaching the lost Muslims within our own country.

    My apologies for the soapbox, but I feel strongly that our immigration woes go deeper, much deeper, than keeping Muslims from voter their own into office.

    Our woes go much, much deeper than worrying about witnessing to the evil within our borders.

    Until we repent . . . we are in danger of God's judgment . . . He judged the Jews by giving them over to the evil ones . . .

    God will judge us soon. We need to repent.

    I would not allow a single practitioner of Islam, entry into this nation as an immigrant. If that makes me a bigot or whatever, that is what I'll be. A religion that swears death to Israel, and death to the great satan, (us) is my country's enemy.
