The current firestorm related to James White's decision to facilitate an interfaith dialogue with Imam Yasir Qahdi is puzzling in the least and has become a stumbling block for many who do not understand how White cannot understand that he is "dancing with the devil" as the saying goes. (Editor's note: James Simpson wrote on this topic yesterday here at Bombthrowers. The article is "When evangelicals become useful idiots for Islamism.")
Mr. White's response to those critical of his decision has been the polar opposite of remorse and he has in fact dug his heels in and maintained that his actions were right and consistent with what Christians should be doing. Is that true? What bridges can be built to people who teach that Christians who do not submit or convert to Islam should be murdered? What madness is this that has gripped Christians today such that they believe the lie that building bridges to nowhere constitutes evangelism? I won't rehash all of White's actions related to this in detail. You can read about that here.
