Hi Janet,
The truth is, the majority of Muslims aren't trying to anything other than live in peace. It's the small minority of Muslims who are trying to make everyone believe in their interpretation of God...you know, the ones who make the big song and dance over every little thing... lol.
In every religion there are extremists who will go to any length to get their religious ideals across... look at the Crusades so many centuries ago, not to mention the Dark Ages.
To me, this seems to Islam's 'Dark Ages'.... not unlike the troubled periods that Chrisianity and Catholicism went through. And to be honest, like both Christianity and Catholicism, Islam will work itself out in the end... hopefully soon!
:)

You may have read about the latest al-Qaeda communication. In this video, an American convert to Islamic fundamentalism who is becoming their spokesman to the West is beseeching non-Muslim Americans to convert to Islam. It is worth noting that Osama bin Laden was severely criticized by many slamic scholars for not following the teaching of the Koran before the September 11th attacks in 2001. According to the Koran, infidels should be called to convert to Islam before they are killed. It is interesting that such a strong message with this theme has just been released. Could something be afoot?

janet w,
They think that they've really got something. They think that people would change if they knew more about it. They have no idea how irritaing they are, their whiny call to prayer worse than any Mexican music blasting from a car. Totally annoying beyond belief.
The proof that they are out to control the world is the example laid by Mohammed. He stole and 'brought the word' with the sword. That's what they are trying to do. I really think that most of the "Peaceful ones" are trying to make us relax, while the militants do the dirty work, I could be wrong about them being that coordinated, but being ready for that might be a way for it to keep from happening.
Edit: Looka t their replies. Have you ever seen an utter lack of ability to express logic?

first of all, when was the last time a muslim missionary knocked on ur doorstep? we dont want people to join Islam who are not meant for it or deserve it. u cant pressurize someone when it comes to faith.
Allah knows best. no man can actually ever convert for another man/woman. and no one should ever try converting someone else. Allah has said spread the word not make them beleive it.
we can only tell people about islam not make them beleive it. making them beleive in islam is Allah's job. as Allah says "Verily! I shalt guide those whose hand is in mine"

i will say thanks them instead. in your mind u think they are forcing their religion down ur throat, but to the muslims they try to save you from the Hell.
and by looking at the world right now, plus the occupation of Iraq i will tell you for sure that it's not the muslims who want to control the world.

Because every religion programs its followers to do so. That’s how it survived this far. (read my answer to a question about God and unity in this category for more)

World domination. Read this:
The following are excerpts from a sermon delivered by Palestinian Authority Imam Sheikh Ibrahim Madhi at the Sheikh 'Ijlin Mosque in Gaza City
"We are convinced of the [future] victory of Allah; we believe that one of these days, we will enter Jerusalem as conquerors, enter Jaffa as conquerors, enter Haifa as conquerors, enter Ramle and Lod as conquerors, the [villages of] Hirbiya and Dir Jerjis and all of Palestine as conquerors, as Allah has decree… 'They will enter Al-Aqsa Mosque as they have entered it the first time…'"
"Anyone who does not attain martyrdom in these days should wake in the middle of the night and say: 'My God, why have you deprived me of martyrdom for your sake? For the martyr lives next to Allah'…"
"Our enemies suffer now more than we do. Why? Because we are convinced that our dead go to Paradise, while the dead of the Jews go to Hell, to a cruel fate. So we stand firm and steadfast, in obedience to Allah…"
"The Jews await the false Jewish messiah, while we await, with Allah's help… the Mahdi and Jesus, peace be upon him. Jesus's pure hands will murder the false Jewish messiah. Where? In the city of Lod, in Palestine. Palestine will be, as it was in the past, a graveyard for the invaders – just as it was a graveyard for the Tatars and to the Crusader invaders, [and for the invaders] of the old and new colonialism…"
"A reliable Hadith [tradition] says: 'The Jews will fight you, but you will be set to rule over them.' What could be more beautiful than this tradition? 'The Jews will fight you' – that is, the Jews have begun to fight us. 'You will be set to rule over them' – Who will set the Muslim to rule over the Jew? Allah… Until the Jew hides behind the rock and the tree."
"But the rock and tree will say: 'Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, a Jew hides behind me, come and kill him.' Except for the Gharqad tree, which is the tree of the Jews."
"We believe in this Hadith. We are convinced also that this Hadith heralds the spread of Islam and its rule over all the land…"
"Oh beloved, look to the East of the earth, find Japan and the ocean; look to the West of the earth, find [some] country and the ocean. Be assured that these will be owned by the Muslim nation, as the Hadith says… 'from the ocean to the ocean…"

Christians and Muslims are the same, either you join them or you burn in hell. Now choose a side.
