I'm still telling myself it couldn't happen here. Not in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the buckle on the Bible Belt, arguably the most "Christian" city in the U.S. But it did. Last week, Muslims bought the little neighborhood church just up the street from our house.
I was there at the auction with a pastor friend/client who was ready to bid on the property. That was at best a forlorn hope. It was obvious from the beginning that the interested Christians in the room were bidding against Saudi oil money and there wasn't enough money in the room to keep them from getting what they wanted.
The successful bidders were obviously observant Muslims. The men were dressed like all Muslims do complete with beards. But, the key visual was the little woman with them. Her head was covered and she was very careful to stay a few feet behind the men as they walked around the building.
I think the thing that bothered me worst was their attitude. When the leader had placed the successful bid and the party was leaving the room, the leader had a look on his face that screamed, "Go to hell Kafir, we have bought your Christian worship place, there is nothing you can do about it and we will now shove it in your entire neighborhood's face with every call to prayer from the bell tower."
Muslims like to buy Christian buildings and convert them as a symbol of their dominance of the culture. Muammar Qadhaifeh once said, "There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe without swords, without guns, without conquests." They have all but succeeded in Europe and it is now happening in America .... in my neighborhood.
Protests, political complaints, even violence would do no good. The Muslims are committed to using our very freedoms and tolerance against us to destroy those very values. And they will then call us stupid for letting them get away with it.
In my case, it may just be time to move.
