I was stunned reading this article. You describe yourself as moderate Muslim? You are too far from being moderate my friend.

Do you think in your call for others to believe in Islam, you need to remind them of nuclear wepons. What has Pakistan done with its nuclear weapons. Did it improve the standard of living of Pakistanis? NO.

Are they better educated/fed/hospitalized? NO. Israelis are better educated/fed/insured, Danes, Germans, Canadians, French, etc. What applies to pakistan applies to Iran.

If you want to call people to Islam then you have to "call for allah with wisdom and good advice" these are the words of god to his prophet Mohamed., not mine.

In the end I don't believe by 2025 most people will have converted to Islam, and actually it does not matter. Number does not matter. Strength is what matters, and strength is not by arms, its by welfare, economy, health, freedom and wealth.
