terror is just part of a strategy to achieve world hegemony

From the outset Muhammad, an Arabic 7th century bandit chief... used terror to drive Christians and Jews from their homes, killed their men and raped their women and children or sold them into slavery. Over a short period of time Muhammad led 70 raids, conquered the Arabian peninsula and forcibly converted those that survived his raids to Islam. He claimed to hear voices, had 'revelations'- and indeed 'Allah'-, his invention and alter ego, brought down very useful and convenient 'laws'- Bukhari:V4B52N196 "Allah's Apostle said, 'I have been ordered to fight the people till they say, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah."'" Believers must kill and be killed for Allah (9:111). Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us…" Tabari IX:69. "Allah's Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.'" Bukhari: vol. 4, book 52, no. 220 Qur'an 8.39 "So, fight them till all opposition ends and the only religion is Islam." Qur'an 9.3 "Allah is not bound by any contract or treaty with idolaters

This is not quoted 'out of context'- as apologists would have you believe, but it is the general belief of Muslims that eventually all the world must be conquered and all the peoples will submit to terror and Islam. Ever since the 7th century the pattern has been clearly established: The first step is to invite the non-believer to accept Islam - this is "Dawa," or preaching, proselytizing - the building of Mosques, the sending of missionaries, etc... If that fails, the second step is to invite the Kuffir (non-believer) to pay the jiziyah. The third step is to fight. We shall fight. But education comes first. You can't fight an enemy you know nothing about. THEY know everything about us. In fact it is an enemy we treat like a friend. That has to end. Sooner is better...
