Muslims leaving Islam for Jesus

Abstract

This article discusses the chaos Muslims are experiencing all over the world and suggests that in some cases Islam is imploding. Strife and violence exist between ethnic/religious factions and brutal blasphemy laws are increasing. Floundering economies, refugees on the run, women leading protests, and Islamic radicals wreaking havoc fill the news. Amid great instability, some are leaving Islam as atheists, secularists, or nones, but many are finding their way to Christ. Building on the author’s personal research on how extremist Islam has caused some Pakistani Muslims to come to Christ, this study suggests a similar pattern in Iran, Afghanistan, and beyond. The author believes we are seeing the beginning of a great harvest among Muslims, but that Christians need fresh vision and special commitment to reach them with the gospel.
