The Biblical Answer To Violence

(From Crescent Project, crescentproject.org) – Muslim jihadis in France have taken to the streets in an effort to “revert” France to Islam by violence and local police forces are overwhelmed.  But France isn’t the only place where jihadis are creating violence:  

In the U.K., SHARIA Police are walking the streets of London, berating non-Muslim women and girls who dress “inappropriately” according to Sharia law.  They even assaulted an 18-year-old girl and disfigured her for life.

In Spain, conservative Muslims, watching the chaos in France, have begun skirmishes in the streets.  Police are not exempt from being attacked.  Drug wars have also started among the migrants who are fighting each other. Innocent people are caught in the middle.

In Germany, migrant-related assaults on women and even children are happening throughout the country. The educational system caved, and now students are being taught…not the Christian faith or German culture…but, the five pillars of Islam.

The solution is NOT what is happening among the Danish, where locals, having had their fill of violence are burning the Quran in the streets of Copenhagen. This adds to the violence.

The solution is NOT to blame all Muslims for the actions of the few. The solution is NOT to counter violence with violence!

Rather, at Crescent Project (CP), they promote the BIBLICAL solution:  “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing  every thought captive to the obedience of Christ…” – 2 Corinthians 10:4-6a.  CP has initiated the “FIRE BREAK PLAN”.  A “fire break” is created ahead of wildfires as a stopgap, a way to knock down the flames and destruction.  CP has identified and are investing in key European towns ahead of the jihadi chaos, equipping Christian leaders to speak to their followers, sharing how to build relational bridges with the many Muslim immigrants who are not in favor of the violence, yet are quiet due to fear.

Sadly, Europe is not the last place we will see violence.  In Fargo, North Dakota (Yes! The USA!) a Syrian immigrant, seeking asylum, amassed 1,800 live rounds, rifles, handguns, and a grenade intending to slaughter hundreds in a downtown event.  Thankfully, he was stopped, but not before 4 police officers were shot, one fatally.  Thus, this is not just “Europe’s problem”.

CP’s goal is to raise $25,000 to fund this massive project, and you can support them in their effort at https://crescentproject.givingfuel.com/give?registrants.giveTo=Europe%20Fire%20Break&registrants.source=CalltoPrayer
