The Islamic Tide

The Islamic Tide that seems to be sweeping the world and is evident on the very streets that I walk here in Toronto and will proceed at an accelerated rate. They represent 1.2 B while Christian is roughly twice that. Christianity has held the power over the souls and pockets of men for almost 2,000 years. As with the economic and wealth power struggle of emerging empire builders of the last century with the U.S. coming out on top, for now, there is the religious or spiritual struggle. Mao Tes-tung told Nixon that, religion was poison, and it certainly seems at least with the two largest religions this has been proven accurate.

The way I see it a religious war is not possible in countries mentioned above being contained in economically stressed areas like sub-Saharan Africa. The 200-year plan of the Brotherhood on the other hand sees it entirety different and once there numbers are sufficient call for the final jihad. Mohammed prophesied this that the few of the faith would destroy the faith.
