There won't be an Islamic world government.

Countries are getting tougher than ever on extremist Muslims. I may have the wrong country indicated here, but I think it's Switzerland who is passing a law that an immigrant's kid causing trouble will get the whole family deported. That ought to be enough to make Dad and Mom sit up and take notice.

In other European countries, they are also searching for ways to contain the Muslim element, including cutting off immigration to them. Some are using DNA to compare genes between immigrant relatives to make sure cheaters aren't getting in. In New York City, an Arabic language school was shut down because the director wore a teeshirt that said "Jihad NYC". She claimed that jihad meant opening avenues for education but no one bought it.

Arabian King Abdullah announced today that a multimillion dollar science and technology university with all the latest is being built near Jidda. It will be an international school, named the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Students will be accepted from all over the world, professors will be from all over the world, no separation of men and women, and the religious police will be banned from it. I think the King is ashamed of the ignorance among Muslim/Arabs. He said he knows the Wahhabi religious leaders will come down on him, but so what. He's the man with the money. I hope this will be the end of the Wahhabis' grip on Arabia.

Other Middle Eastern countries are also building or have Universities connected to Western schools. Qatar and Jordan are making huge strides. I think University School is Doha is connected to Oxford and Jordan's new boarding school for highschoolers is connected with the boarding school in the US that Jordanian King Abdullah attended as a teenager.

As many times as the Muslims have fought to take over the West, they have failed, and they will fail this time too.
