Elijah Abraham
Elijah offers a unique perspective on the nature of Islam. He was born and raised as a Muslim in Iraq, but converted to Christianity and started Living Oasis Ministries, an organization devoted to teaching American churches about Islam and the best means for reaching out to Muslims with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Living Oasis Ministries is called to equip the saints in the U.S. and around the world to reach Muslims for Christ, to proclaim the Word of God to those who do not know Him through preaching and teaching the Word of God, and to help the global Church challenge Islam with the gospel through apologetics.
There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world today. Studies show that by 2050 one third of the people on earth–2.76 billion–may be Muslims.
As usual, the secular media presents two false arguments: Progressives tout Islam as a religion of peace, while some conservatives would have us believe every Muslim is a terrorist just waiting to be activated. The truth is radical Muslim terrorism is a real threat, but a majority of Muslims just want to practice their faith and live in peace. The eternal truth is they need the gospel of Jesus Christ. How do we as Christians share the true gospel with our Muslim neighbors and fellow citizens?
Elijah Abraham, a former Muslim, joins us to discuss his recent experience in Dearborn, Michigan–a city where Islam is growing rapidly.

And recently another twenty plus injured in a train in Germany……..No Mr. Warren, Islam is not violent, it's just those pesky Muslims that follow their book literally…….. Question? Do you Mr.Warren? Do you think the bible is the inerrant word of God? Do you follow the bible? I think your actions are telling. You don't, and you wish to marry your Churchianity with an evil abomination, Chrislam. Wake up folks, the time is close…….. Europe headed for an economic meltdown, over run by Islam, no leadership, fractured EU, Italy barking of ItaloExit, the US in the throes of civil disobedience not seen since the late sixties and early seventies, our economy is but smoke and mirrors, no leadership whatsoever, corruption in the highest levels of government and no one cares, human life has become cheap, ripe and ready for judgement this world is. As Churchianity heads for an ecumenical marriage with Rome, as the world's economy plunges and as leadership fails, the man of sin awaits on the wing, ready to be revealed once the apostasy has run its course, it's close. Europe is desperate for a leader, polls in the US show no one likes the Dems or the Reps, also clammoring for a leader, well they'll get their wish soon enough………I admonish Christians to read your bibles and pray unceasingly as the day grows closer, we don't know the day or the hour, but Jesus said we will know the general time, that time is here.
Hello, I would like to recommend reading the book 'By Far Euphrates'. The Armenians (and other non-muslim groups) have been the target of muslims for centuries. This book covers the Armenian Genocide of 1896 (other genocides followed). While reading it last year, I realized the atrocities of 1896 were being repeated in 2015 by IS. Horrific/barbaric are the words to describe their actions. Straight from the pits of hell.
Good explanation loseyateefa. "Progressives tout Islam as a religion of peace, while some conservatives would have us believe every Muslim is a terrorist just waiting to be activated. The truth is radical Muslim terrorism is a real threat, but a majority of Muslims just want to practice their faith and live in peace." How exactly is that last statement to be verified? Do you have X-ray vision of peoples' hearts? I would contend that every devout Muslim, that is, one who adheres to the words and instructions of the Koran and patterns his or her life after Muhammad's example, "is a terrorist just waiting to be activated". Muslim terrorism does not require a modifier like "radical" as such activity is proscribed in the Koran. Islam is Islam there are no modifiers, radical, moderate or otherwise.
Islam is a 3 pronged cancerous force: RPM Religious. Political. Military. Folks that don't know history and haven't studied Islam are duped by the first prong presented as "Religion." Everyone must respect everyone else's religion, right? So Islam gains protection and criticisms are marked as "hate speech." As Islam continues to grow in the host country of immigration, the Political prong begins to grow. (this mimics Muhammad's life precisely) Innocently at first as in requests/demands for concessions on prayer times/places, separation of gender in public places (swimming pools), holidays in school, footbaths in public, removal of crosses or other offensive material, halal food in schools (no pork) for everyone, no alcohol, public broadcast of call to prayer, lawfare accusing employers and government of discrimination. These things are currently growing throughout USA but mainly in the areas of denser Muslim population. The Military prong is a nice word for violent jihad. It can be done by one person or a group and begins when the host country has softened but is not ready for mass conversion to Islam. All these actions of Religious, Political, Military are still considered "jihad." The ultimate goal of Muhammad, which can never be altered, is worldwide submission to Allah. Every Muslim is obligated his entire life to jihad. Some want Islam established today and they are the terrorist jihadists. Those who are more patient (the ones we call "moderate") are willing to let the outcome be determined by who is strongest. Us or them. The free world will not be safe from the threat of Islam as long as one Muslim is still alive. But as long as their numbers are small, we can hopefully manage the threat. I believe Islam matches the end time Beast Kingdom so it will probably continue to rise despite our efforts to evangelize, payoff, or fight them with force. But we must also prevent its contamination of the church known as "Chrislam."
thank you and thank you for eziekel
abrahams honest challlenge to awaken true christians to getting into the Bible and read it for all its worth so as to be ready to give an answer of hope because of Jesus' sacrifice and truths
Those so called Christian leaders that still say Islam is not violent, should see what an ISIS sympathizer just did in Nice, France! And that's what Rick Warren wants to meld into this corrupt culture, Chrislam! When will people learn?! I guess 911 wasn't enough for him and his ilk!
