Given the fact that there are large numbers of people in Islam who desire to establish Sharia law at all costs and using every means including deception and violence, some Christians have become fearful. This is wrong. Fear leads to anger and anger leads to hate.

• First, this fear, anger, and hate does not proceed from the Holy Ghost. It is not of faith. Whatever is not of faith is sin. Sin is what takes us out of the Kingdom of God and into the kingdom of Satan. Love is what takes us into the Kingdom of God and into the kingdom of God.
  
•  Second, how can we fulfill the command of God to witness fearlessly to the Muslims unless we love them and care deeply for their souls. There may even be physical danger in doing so, but there has always been physical danger in following Jesus. We are to pour ourselves out on God's alter, and this is part of that.

Informed rational freedom loving people have all the reasons in the world to fear islam. The twin fogs of political correctness & ignorance must be dispersed before western society better understands this menace. Even a brief review of islamic theology & history quickly exposes the deadly roots of this evil ideology... Islam is just another fascist totalitarian ideology used by power hungry fanatics on yet another quest for worldwide domination and includes all the usual human rights abuses & suppression of freedoms.

That misses the point. It would be rational for an ungodly person to fear Islam for the reasons given above, but it is not rational to be ungodly. It is not rational for a follower of Christ to fear anything as the Scripture states:

Romans 8:15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again into fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I calculate that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be unveiled into us.

2 Timothy 1:6 Therefore I put you in remembrance that you stir up the gift of God, which is in you by the putting on of my hands.
7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. *
8 Be not you therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; *
