““Thus, much of the ‘great apostasy’ or ‘great falling away’ will arise from fear. Richardson notes that the “Stockholm Syndrome” could cause many to fall away as they see Islam becoming the world’s largest religion, due to population increases by Muslims worldwide. Stockholm Syndrome is a response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker. The syndrome is named after a bank robbery in 1973 in Norway in which the abductees, held for five days, became attached to their captors, not having killed them during their captivity. They then defended their captors when finally released unharmed.””
