Food is mostly imported, yes. Agriculture has suffered badly through mismanagement and is no longer sufficient to feed the people even in many farming communities. Partly because of insufficient water availability with a poor maintenance of the Qanats (underground water streams that require regular removal of silt).

Look at AntiMullah postings on Egypt. (News Views? World Views?) That’s a similar problem with different givens.

Free people: do you care?

Sadly enough for the most part, no.

Caring takes personal thought and effort...

Does it heavily depend on import to meet food demand?

Do the people of Iran consume Ethanol?

Such is the way of governments that do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. The Islamic peoples are enemies of Israel and sorrowfully are enemies of God and His Christ. All governments and religions that do not beleive the truth of the God of Israel and His Christ are subject to the powers of darkness and walk in the ways of Lucifer, the prince of the power of the air.

(Islam is destined for the scrap heap of history.)

Indeed, when the God begins the 7 year tribulation, the following 1000 year rule of Jesus Christ on earth will follow when the nations of the world go up to the mountains of Israel to destroy Israel led by the antichrist, and God in the person of Jesus Christ will return and destroy them and leave but one of six to return to their nations to tell them how that God is indeed with Israel.

there are 6 million Muslim ARABS converting to Christianity every year.

Can you provide a reference for that? That's a pretty exciting concept.

Islam will die one day, but only at the hand of Messiah Himself. Islam will be THE last days religion that attempts to rule the world, IMO.

This is my main source. Also, I believe Islam to be bereft and vacuous. Rote prayers, often spoken in a language the people don't understand, doesn't fulfill the heart's longing to be in relation with the Living God. I believe Islam is so violent because there's such an emptiness at the bottom of it, they lash out in frustration.

On Jihad and the Quranic concept of war

The US Army War College's journal had an interesting article on The Quranic Concept of War (the title of a book by Brigadier General S. K. Malik of the Pakistani Army). From reading the article, and from my own readings of Qur'an and Hadith, I've come to the conclusion that the vast majority of Westerners do not understand the full concept of Jihad

Jihad is not just armed fighting. It is not just car bombings or crashing planes into buildings. Jihad encompasses any and all acts which serve to advance Islam and the power of Muslims, or weaken the power of non-Muslims.

The end-goal of Jihad is to produce an environment where non-Muslims are afraid to speak out against Islam, and where Muslims do not experience any opposition to their spreading Islam by word and deed

In accordance with this, many activities can be seen as being part of Jihad:

Ah, African Arab Muslims. It's a bit disingenuous to say "6 million Muslim ARABS" without disclosing that the ones referenced aren't actually living in Arabia. In fact, now that you link to it, that's not what the article even says. The article says

Perhaps it is best to listen to the truth coming from the mouth of the horse. The Internet site aljazeera.net published an interview with Ahmad Al Qataani an important Islamic cleric who said: “In every hour, 667 Muslims convert to Christianity. Everyday, 16,000 Muslims convert to Christianity. Ever year, 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity."

Doesn't say 6 million Arabs at all. Sure, North Africa has many Arab transplants, but the rest of the continent is full of native peoples. The cleric quoted can't possibly expect the reader to believe that all 6 million come from those North African countries that have an Arab population. And taking that figure at face value, we have to also take into consideration the number of converts to Islam every year.

But when it comes right down to it, I'd rather look to Christian sources such as missions groups who are already there and working and compiling statistics rather than relying on some random Islamic cleric quoted in Al Jazeera (where does he get his figures anyway and why is that site accepting them as factual?).

Speaking of Africa, the article goes on to say

These are huge numbers. If this trend continues we can expect to see Islam become insignificant in Africa in just a few decades.

That may very well be true. But I'd be shocked if we actually have a few decades with which to work.

Forgot I wanted to comment on the rest of your post. :)

Also, I believe Islam to be bereft and vacuous. Rote prayers, often spoken in a language the people don't understand, doesn't fulfill the heart's longing to be in relation with the Living God. I believe Islam is so violent because there's such an emptiness at the bottom of it, they lash out in frustration.

I don't disagree, except to say it's more than that. It's also a political ideology, a cult movement that enslaves so completely that despite its spiritual bankruptcy, it creates a social, emotional, familial, cultural, economical, political and spiritual chasm that is very difficult to climb out of. Islam is not just so violent because of its own vapidity, it is violent because it teaches hatred and violence as a means of dispensing God's will upon humanity. Islam is from the devil himself, created, in my opinion, to be the last enemy.

I pray Islam IS suffering in Africa, but at the same time, due to the influx of Islam, Europe is dying, and thanks to leftism and political correctness, I'm afraid we're only a decade or so behind.

Many are predicting a bloodbath there. Quite possible.

Once the Turks genocided the Christians in the 20th century they were left with their own sordid scum. If this Turk “mullah” comes into the picture, the only question will be: what does the Turk military do? I predict it will do nothing. The “secular” military has always been a ruse...a ruse to fool naive Western capitalists and their desire to put money over lives. After all they are all muslims.

The only wild card will be the Kurds.

A bloodbath, maybe, but in the end, the Islamicists will come out with the short end of the stick.
