The Modesto Bee | Ravi Zacharias, a leading Christian apologist,says British and Europe's culture will not survive

Christianity is not a crutch, but a logical belief system and the only way to God. That's the view of Ravi Zacharias, an internationally known Christian apologist based in Atlanta. Zacharias is a native of India whose ancestors were Hindu priests of the highest caste. His maternal and paternal relatives converted to Christianity several generations ago, and he was raised in the Anglican church as a boy. But he viewed church and school as just things he had to put up with, until as a teenager he attempted to kill himself, mostly because of the incredible pressures put on Indian students to be the very best. Zacharias says, "England and Europe are on their way out. There's no way their cultures will survive. It looks to me that the domination of Islam will take over. England and France are hanging on by a thread. The (Islamic) sharia laws already have been introduced in England. If (Prince) Charles gets on the throne, he has said he won't be the defender of the faith; he will be the defender of the faiths."
