That's scary, but IMO I don't think Muslims are going to conquer the world, because that religion is so strongly against all things liberal that the liberals will not allow it. If they won't allow Christians to take away their "rights" to gay marriage, pornography, fornication, etc, they're certainly not going to allow Muslims to do the same, which are among the first things they would do.

I think it's more likely we'll see an "all religions are equal", "all paths lead to the same God" philisophy that unites all the world's religions than any one particular religion take over. Obama's Muslim roots are going to help the Arab world become more accepting of the United States and of Western culture; meanwhile Americans and Westerners are already becoming much more accepting of all things Arabic / Muslim, with people taking the middle name Hussein and what not.

All the world's philosophies and religions, including the sects of Christianity that are compromised/liberalized, will unite against true fundamentalist Christianity, I believe.

If we stop voting, will they go away?

I'd like to have that on a t-shirt.

You can get it on a bumper sticker: http://www.amazon.com/stop-voting-will-bumper-sticker/dp/B000FBPDQU

I dunno about a t-shirt though.

But let's not hijack this thread...

FYI-Pope John Paul II ran a crusade to unite all religions(the pagan ones, that is). He invited all the Muslims, Buddhists, snake worshipers, spiritualists, etc to St. Peters Square where he let them perform their rituals.

And guess what-2 of the biggest John Paul supporters among US Evangelists are Billy Graham and Robert Schuller. The latter flew down to the Vatican to ask for a blessing for his new Crystal Cathedral, while the former called him "the world's greatest evangelist".
