This question is based on something I received in an internet newsletter called the Patriot Post.
In creating the oma, Mohammed and his followers forged an inextricable merger of politics and religion. To this day, there has never been a separation---a "Reformation" ---in Islam. This is due to the very nature of the oma, which must not only be defended militarily, politically and economically---but also expanded. Mohammed's efforts to reconstitute the basis of authority and organization in Arabia (from polytheism, more than one god to a political monotheism, one god, from cities and tribes to the oma) made Islam's expansionism a requirement of its followers.
How exactly can we free people of the world keep the islamists off our backs?
