You're correct. I was thinking faster than I could type and that's what came to mind.

1. Convert the entire world's population to Islam.

2. Impose Islamic law on the entire world's population.

.... now, I knew about #1, but is sharia (sp?) law part of the Islamic vision for world domination? I didn't think every Muslim country had this form of law (Turkey for instance).

Thanks for the help.

1. every religion wants to convert people

2. there is not one country in the world that has complete Shariaa Law , the Arab Nationalist rulers are all secularists.

of course we want the Holy Shariaa in our Muslim countries.but the arab secularists are working against muslim unity

forcing people to become muslim is not Islamic

God says in the Quran : 2:256 Let there be no compulsion in religion
there is no compulsion in religion , its not allowed to force anybody to become muslim
people must stop to learn Islam from Catholics , or Buddhism from Jews


the goals we muslims have can be clearly read in our books on Aqeedah(beliefs,creed) and can be clearly read in the Hadith the sayings of the prophet mohammed.

so my advice learn christianity from christians , judaism from jews , and Islam from muslims.

a wise man said once : dont throw stones if you are living in a glasshouse << catholics must keep this in mind before they judge others

No, actually some don't.

Judaism springs immediately to mind.

I haven't seen any Native Americans knocking my door trying to convert me to their religion.

No other indigenous folks, for that matter.

No Asatru, no Celtic Reconstructions, no UUs, no LHP, no Quakers, no...well, the list does go on a bit, and it's late.

Well, you kind of need to be born a Jew to have much of a chance at being involved in Judaism, yes, I know you can convert, but that is pretty darned rare. And the other religions you mentioned, basically there isn't much money in those. Jay's point, as it relates to Islam and Christianity, especially Evangelicals is dead on.
