Islam is real threat to church, says Synod member

More than 1,000 conservative Anglicans have been meeting in Jerusalem this week to develop a new movement within the worldwide Communion, in order to combat liberals who they say are departing from the Bible’s teaching by supporting gay clergy.
Next week the General Synod, the Church of England’s parliament, gathers in York to discuss the introduction of women bishops without provisions for those who oppose the historic move, which could see dozens of conservative clergy leave the church and claim millions in compensation.
Unable to integrateBy its very nature, Islam makes it extremely difficult for Muslims to integrate. Islam means submission, and the Quran makes it clear that Muslims expect non-Muslims to submit to Islam.Western values are not compatible with Islam. As a result, many Muslims form ghettos and engage in other forms of non-integration.• Europeans worry that Muslims cannot assimilate• German politician blames Islam for religious violence• Muslims are waging civil war against us, claims French police union• Muslims not trying to fit with society, says Martin Amis• UK: Muslim integration has come to a halt• Sections of Muslim Britain in denial about extremism• Almost a quarter of UK-based Muslims believe the July 7, 2005 terrorist bombings in London were justified• The seductive beat of the militant, Islamic drum• Europe’s angry young Muslims• Europe fears threat from its converts to Islam• Europe is learning a hard lesson from Muslim immigrant experiencePlot Shows Rise of Extremism in EuropeResearch resources on Islam and on Islamic ExtremismComments & resources by ReligionNewsBlog.comBut Alison Ruoff, an evangelical lay member of the Synod and a former magistrate who is at the Gafcon summit in Jerusalem, told The Daily Telegraph that the church needs to get past these divisions and concentrate on fighting the rise of Islam in Britain.
She says that under an Archbishop of Canterbury who said it is inevitable that elements of Sharia will be introduced in the UK, the church has not done enough to put its message across.
And she believes the Government, out of politically correct sensitivity, is not preventing the growth of Muslim communities which do not integrate with those around them.
[...]She added that many people share her fears but do not like to speak out about it in case they are criticised.
“People are genuinely worried. There’s a general concern in the nation about its building blocks being rapidly eroded.
“But we are very afraid of the law and of being persecuted. The police in many respects are standing up for Islam rather than Christianity.”
Mrs Ruoff believes the problem with the growth of Islam in Britain is that some communities do not integrate, and that some immigrant imams do not learn English, leading to segregation.
She fears that if these communities introduce Islamic law, all non-Muslims and women will be treated as second-class citizens by them.
