I find ironic that the INSIDER MOVEMENT proponent use westernization of the converts as the excuse why Muslims should remain in their culture.
I am an MBB from Saudi Arabia and know others like me who ha e no desire to stay inside a mosque whatsoever. After all we were freed from the bondage of the DEVIL when we became FREE in CHRIST. Why on earth do we want to stay in the temple of demons.
In addition, who said Islam and Islamic practice is cultural? In assuming this one would insult the many ARAB Christians and Non-Arabs who live in those areas. Such assumption stems out of western ignorance.
Further more, extraction from ones community and culture is a BIBLICAL MODEL. What do we make of Abraham's story, Noah's, The Israelites of the EXODUS account, the Exiled people of God, to name a few. The whole purpose of extraction is to make ONE unique and set apart, not to mention God's sovereign purpose to extract us out of our COMFORT ZONE! After all, why do we need Gen. 12:1-3 or Matt. 28:19?
Finally, it is rather hypocritical to claim that the whole purpose of the IM method is to prevent the Werernization of new Muslim converts, when in fact the IM method is a western method!
A piece of advise to the IM proponent: please stop using my people as your test lab object for YOUR GLORY.
