OK, I went to the website just to see what it had to offer. The first thing that I saw was a map of the Islamic world which included most of Christian sub-Saharan Africa and Mongolia. I’m surprised Europe isn’t there, too.

I came across this quote:

“The power of the Islamic Superpower will reside primarily in its economic, cultural and theological foundations. The most powerful and compelling distinction of this superpower is that for the first time in the history of the world, a global superpower will not be constrained by nationalistic motives or geographic limitations of artificial borders. This new Islamic Superpower will possess the ability to effectively fight poverty and corruption where the Western powers have failed. It will be the most effective, if not only legitimate response to radical Islamic fundamentalism.”

The Communists had the same thematic premise (minus the theological pretensions, of course). They thought they were the new supranational world movement.

In reality, they were thugs interested in power who killed tens of millions of people.

The biggest laugher here is the claim that Islam will cure poverty and hunger - when those countries already Islamic have immense numbers of poor (when without oil), immense distances between the rich and poor (with oil), and huge numbers of uneducated, illiterate masses (with and without oil). I expect Islam to bring the same kind of problems to the world in this century that the Communists brought to the world in the 20th century.

The comments on that site pretty much nail it, IMO.

If they intend to be an economic power they will have to learn to mass produce something besides hate and discontent.

Is the author saying this cancer will devour itself or is he trying to separate mainstream islam from mainstream islam? Mainstream islam is the head chopping, throat cutting, totalitarian manifestation from Hell and has been since its inception.
