If Islam Ruled The World

Mohammed's comments were a ignorant nonsense, but it resonates throughout the ignorant Muslim world (an estimated 40+ percentage of Moslems are illiterate). If Islam, in it's currrent medieval, brutal and absolutist form controlled this world, there would be a Dark Age from which there would be no return. And that would mean NO RETURN. A Taliban/Wahhabist world of infinite ignorance, stagnation and theocratic dictatorship. Actually, if Islam ruled the world it would be a Dark Age irrespective of the Islamist ideology, because Allah would rule through his mullah/ayattolah proxies anyway. No Islam Reformation, No Future.

Moderate Islam, if there is such a thing, is merely the gutless faithful realising that if they raise their voice against the totalitarian mullahs, they will be accused of being apostates and therefore fatwa-ed. Shut up, keep your head down and hope that modernity comes by God's will. The saving factor for the 21st century infidel world is that this barbarism poses more of a deadly danger to the moslem faithful than it does to the non-Moslem world. The Infidel World has one great advantage over Islam.
Islam has NO friends.
Given the choice between Islam and the USA, every non-moslem culture will choose the USA.
