Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo is the International Director of the Barnabas Fund a relief and development agency channelling practical help and support to the suffering hurch in the Muslim world.
He is a recognised authority on Islam and its effects on Christian minorities. Dr. Sookhdeo has lectured, taught and written extensively on religious, cultural and security issues.
Patrick Sookhdeo was born in 1947 in British Guiana (now Guyana), to a couple who had migrated from Asia. His family migrated to England in the early 1960s. In 1965, as a student, Sookhdeo converted to Christianity and in 1964 he pursued studies at London Bible College (now the London School of Theology) and went on to obtain a Doctorate in Oriental and African studies. During that time Sookhdeo began exploring inter-faith dialogue and became increasingly concerned by the brutality being leveled at Christian minorities in Islamic nations, including death penalties for conversions from Islam.
 FAITH, POWER and TERRITORY
Dr Sookhdeo’s book has been written to provide an easy-to-use resource to help readers understand Islam in Britain today, the way in which Islam is developing, and Islam’s influence on the country. The book asks penetrating questions about the way in which the Muslim communities in the UK may develop in the future and how British authorities and institutions appear to be yielding to the process of Islamisation.
This book was released in March 2008 (360 pages, Isaac Publishing, paperback at £10.99 and hardback at £12.99 p+p £2.95).
“Faith, Power and Territory is an invaluable resource book for all who are interested in learning more about the important subject of Islam in contemporary Britain, by an author whose knowledge, learning, experience and expertise ensure confidence in the accuracy of the information and the analysis of the very important wider implications for the British government and people.” Caroline (The Baroness) Cox
“Patrick Sookhdeo has been developing understanding of and expertise in Muslim-Christian relationships for 40 years. He is acknowledged internationally as an expert in this field. His views and analyses are always worth serious consideration.” Rt Hon the Lord Mawhinney Kt

The lectures last night in Kingsview Christian Centre by Dr Patrick Sookdheo were a wake-up call to Christians in Inverness and the Highlands and Islands to have a national strategy to engage in the political process.
The same day, Chris Mason, a BBC political reporter, commented on the election of Lord Pearson as the new leader of UKIP after Nigel Farage stepped down as leader: “So UKIP are in high spirits. But they have outgrown the backroom infrastructure needed for a party of their size and Mr Farage found it increasingly difficult to lead his MEPs, run his party - and organise his campaign to secure a seat in the Commons.” http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8383674.stm
This may help those Christians who will not engage with the Scottish Christian Party because of its "backroom infrastructure" to see how difficult it is to organise a new political party without it.

Christians everywhere might find it easier to engage with the political process if there was a Christian political party that was democratic and credible to back!

Just a wee thank you to Patrick and Kigsview for sponsoring him. Patrick has clearly and precisely explained how a few more pieces of the prophetic puzzle of end times events fit together. Keep up the good work.
