One nice thing is that the "extremists" tell the truth; they invoke straightforwardly and unembarrassedly, the central and orthodox tenets of Islam. So much nicer than the apologists who hem and haw, offer us distractions, pretend that the abrogated phrases in the Qur'an are still valid, ignore the bloodcurdling hadith (indeed, never mention the hadith), and of course are careful to ignore the sira, the life of Muhammad in all of its extraordinary violence. "War is deception," Muhammad said, but for some reason it is mainly the "moderates" who heed that verse; the "extremists" within dar al-Islam are less deceitful--they are speaking, after all, to their fellow Believers. and therefore are far more revealing about the world-wide goals of the Jihad than their much more circumspect brothers in dar al-Harb. It must terribly upset those "moderates" when someone openly declares what, of course, is in many of the sermons (khutbas), and all over Qur'an and hadith -- too bad, they think, they can no longer silence those who insist on ripping off the mask of moderation and speaking the mainstream truth, in terms that cannot be explained away, prettified, or ignored.

Will they control the world? Or the universe? NO.
But they will be successful in bringing down civilization as we know it, if they are not stopped very soon. They cannot hold control over the earth, because their infrastruture will collapse when their exterior support fails. Islam has a common property with communism and socialism, it is parasitic. When the host dies it dies too. They will if continued to be enabled to sicken and wreck havoc in many populated sites. Of course then even the moderates will be in dire straits to continue to draw breath once this occurs.

quark2 is very perceptive in recognizing that Islam has something (parasitism) in common with communism and socialism. Indeed, it has a great deal more in common with these and several other "-isms," because they have a shared philosophic ancestor.

I'll keep it short and sweet here: Plato led to communism, socialism (including fascism and the Nazis) and, via a less direct route, to Islam, while Aristotle led to the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the Constitution of the United States.

Plato was Aristotle's teacher, but after a number of years, their thinking diverged. They had some terrible arguments, and never spoke to each other again.

As you can see, their disagreement lingers on in their very different legacies.

It is incorrect to trace communism, socialism, and Islam back to Plato. Plato taught that the "really real" world existed elsewhere: in the world of the "forms." For Plato, the flesh is a prison house to the soul, and the soul yearns for re-connection to its former "form" world. Communism and socialism, conversely, offer the notion of a paradise on earth, not elsewhere. And Islam is more traceable to the Persian Mani than to Plato, although Plato did offer some ideas that do, admittedly, appear to form the "groundwork" for a later dualism that developed into Islam. Mani taught the "good God,bad God" idea of creation, that the good god created good things like men, and the bad God created bad things (according to him) like women. That dualism, between men and women, most certainly survives in modern Islam. Witness the public need for women to cover themselves. The female is considered, by her very creation, a pollution to the male.
