An additional outcome possibility

Just for purposes of completeness there is one more scenario, although it is remote:

1. Muslims see benefits of a Christian dominated society in terms of freedom, women's rights, multi-cultural harmony, rejection of violence.

2. Significant portion of the Muslims convert to Christianity, thereby rejecting Islam, at great risk to their own lives.

3. Charismatic leaders emerge from the converted Islamic population or within moderate populations to challenge the orthodoxy.

4. The weight of numerous converts force a reformation within radical Islam.

5. Islam joins the post-reformation religions living in peace and harmony.

6. Everyone becomes post-religious, atheistic, hedonists in approximately the year 2100.
