Not a very good argument

Your arguments are weak at best. The Ottoman and Mameluke empires GONE! Muslims taking Christian lands. Doesnt seem to be the case now does it? What did you end up with? Scientists and "important "people? Will Smith, Muhamid Ali? Just people in show business, not people of any greatness.

And as far as the fastest growing religion? Most population growths are ocurring in Muslim countries so of course the number of Muslims is on the rise just as Christianity is rising in areas with a predominant Christian culture. Muslims are angry because the rest of the world has evolved and they are still in the dark ages wishing for a return to what will never be again.
