The Burr in the Burgh: Why European Women are Converting to Islam

The Burr in the Burgh: Why European Women are Converting to Islam also discusses how Christian churches need to do a better job of instructing people. Also includes this: ///start quote (Pastor Scott Stiegemeyer) ///

But there is also the trend to re-define moral teaching so that it better suits us. Thus churches invent new virtues: tolerance above all others. Love is redefined as affirmation. We think we are loving when we make people feel supported in whatever it is they choose to do or be. That is, in fact, not love. Love means telling a person that the house they are living in is on fire so that they know to escape, even if it means disrupting an otherwise peaceful dinner.///end quote///
