Good question. I believe it is happening constantly and even more so in the spiritual realm. The Lord tells us the battle is His. We wage war not against flesh and blood but against principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places. it is against our own sinful desires as we yield to the Lord we are putting them to death. We are told to preach the word in season and out. We are told to rebuke and exhort with long suffering. It is not easy to obey the Lord because the world frowns on our message and the gospel. We are battling against attacks from atheists just like Muslims and the world hates us. We even lose battles with other religion in debate and the laws of the land are made against Christianity such as the removal of the ten commandments from our institutions. Wicked agendas like homosexuality/ gay marriage and they are trying take over our schools and military and many other such things. The media pushing worldly agendas of the new age. We lose battles but we are promised to be more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. Jesus came as a meek lamb, but when He comes back it will be as a roaring lion with a sword that protrudes from His mouth to put an end to gainsayers against the hope that is within us

Christianity is a way of life as well, but we don't take matters into our own hands when in comes to punishing someone with death, life in prison or cutting off their hands and feet according to our interpretation of Scripture. It is appointed unto man to die once and after that comes the judgment. Christianity unlike Islam is not a government and religion mixture. We are to obey the laws of the land (government /cityand state) even when the wicked rule as long as their laws don't go against the laws of God.

I would, however, fight against any legislation to promote sharia, because IMO, it is handing us all a one way ticket back to the 7th century to where I know it will be a constant clash with Christianity. Christians don't believe sharia is of God. Christians don't believe in shedding blood to promote their faith according to the Bible. It states love your enemies and do good to those who abuse and insult you. So the only way Islam can take over Christianity for the most part is through bloodshed, but that makes the church stronger. We know that the spiritual battles will soon manifest into bloodshed, I plan on it happening soon; I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I'll probably be martyred if I maintain the message I share now, but I have kept it all my life. Only God can show me if I am in the wrong; no man can convince me.

Peace and blessings
