Concerning the proposed coalition between Islam and Christianity by Rick Warren, over at his online apologetics and discernment ministry Extreme Theology, Christian apologist Chris Rosebrough is dead-on-target as he explains why this is a doomed venture:

Rick Warren’s call for Christians and Muslims to “work together for the common good” and to inviting Muslims to work with Christians on Rick Warren’s “Global PEACE Plan” will produce the same miserable and failed results as working with the Soviet’s during World War II.

Back in the 1940’s the “global giant” that the world faced was Nazi Germany and the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union laid aside their differences for a few short years in order to work for the “common good” by defeating Hitler and Nazi Germany. But the Soviet Union, after the fall of Germany worked quickly to enslave half of Germany and all of Eastern Europe under their oppressive Communist system. The goal of “liberating Europe” was far from achieved as many nations that had been conquered by Hitler were then oppressively enslaved by the Soviet Army after the fall of Berlin.

But anyone who truly understood Soviet Communism could have easily predicted that outcome. Why? Because Global Domination was a at the heart of Soviet Communism. Their clearly stated goal was to take over the world. Rick Warren’s naive call for Christians and Muslims to “work together for the common good” is as equally doomed to failure as working with the Soviets to liberate Europe. Why? Because Islam is a hostile enemy to the Gospel and to the freedom to proclaim the Gospel in an open marketplace of religious ideas…Islam is an enemy of Christ and the True Gospel. It cannot be bargained with and it is merciless and ruthless in its attacks against Christianity, Judaism and Western freedom and democracy… (Online source)
