A perfectly valid point Milt!

All religions carry the seeds of their own destruction. The demise of Islam as a world religion will not come from the West but from within. Islam is roughly at the stage that Christianity was during the medieval Crusades and before the Reformation.

100 years from now, the internal contradictions of a prophet born into a 7th century pre-technological society will fail as 22nd century life, with unimaginable cyberspace reality, global climate distortion, the implosion of middle East countries and regimes after the oil reserves run out or no longer needed. The rise in the power and influence of China as a world power and the establishment Buddist/Confucian world view and proof of life outside our small insignificant solar system.

Islam is not just a religion but a way of life, unfortunately it excludes all others by its ethos of exclusiveness, a non believer is a kaffir etc.

Thats not going to work. Its as simply as that. Humanity is diverse and has never fallen for a total world domination.

There will be no world wide caphilate of muslims. The more that Islam is proclaimed as spreading the more exposed and fragmented it will become. Islam was supposedly given from God, but now evangelical zeal has given it over to men. Mankind is weak and not to good with Devine prophesies

And all men and women will give their own interpretation to this Islamic message as the years roll by. If the Devil exists, its always in the detail. The hearts of men are not ruled by their faith but by their emotions.

Its a shame, really. It could have been so much better, as religions go.

Why do those who profess their Faith want to believe there was guiding hand behind the creation of the human race when everyday and everywhere they see that there is obviously a singularly lack of Devine intervention in their daily life?

What most of you are failing to see is this: Those people who kill in the name of religion are misguided souls who are brainwashed by others to carry out their evil intends....These people are terrorists first and foremost...Their number totals in thousands ONLY in the world,yet people are talking as if the whole world is about to be sunk into the middle ages...

Islam as a religion is no better or worse than any other....They are all tools to control people's lives and actions....While religions have been responsible for a lot of evil in the past and present,they are not the most imminent threat to our way of life at present....Global warming,environmental vandalism, economic greed and the resultingfrackmentation of society and the accompanying hopelessness and despair that besieges the individual are much more dangerous to our way of life...But it is a lot easier to put the blame on one common enemy and camouflage the real reasons for the demise of our civilisation....once it was communism...now it is Islam...It is called demonisation...

Thank BK, My sentiments exactly. Demonisation is the word.

I dont think England will ever be a muslim state, after all they have a Royal Family whose main person aka the Queen, is the head of the church of England. England is becoming more and more multi cultural which is a good thing, and I believe segregation - which in the UK is self imposed, should be discouraged. If people dont want to mix in a mixed society I would ask them why they went to England in the first place?

Hello Tess, some people would have us believe that the Queeen (bless her pretty socks) as well as being head of the CoE, is also head of all "muslims"and other religions.

[tessintrnc]

You could be right..............after all she is very rarely seen without a hat or headscarf........................

[denizaksulu]

Just a shame the politicians (of all major parties) did not think to ask the indigenous population if THEY wanted to be part of this same experiment in multiculturalism. White flight is not just imagined, as the Cypriot people can testify.
