A Force Against Itself

Jihadism, however, by "virtue" of its hijackings, kidnappings, beheadings, bombings, and enslavement of women will keep many non-Muslims horrified and determined to never convert to Islam, which still acknowledges the legitimacy of military Jihad. Besides, the world has never been united under any religion, and never will. There are too many cultural, ethnic, social, and theological divisions for one religion to be universally dominant. The radical Muslims themselves are busy slinging charges of "Takfir" and "Kufr" at every other Muslim they perceive to be less righteous than the Prophet and His Companions.
