The Middle east is controlled mostly in name by it's official leaders. Religious leaders actually control most of the Middle East and Africa as well as parts of Asia.  These figures operate in a complex political environment. Their first goal is to oust seculer or semi-seculer governments like the ones in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Beharain, Nigeria and Turkey. Once replaced with Islamic governments under thier control they will rapidly expand into Africa and Asia.  They will be beholding to external forces though. The Islamics because of the represive nature of thier rule have killed thier ability to use and produce technology. As such a forign entity will gain control of them and use them to thier own needs. China is the leading cantidate for that right now.

Well, there is a lot to be blamed on the stupid terroists and the media. The terroists have potrayed the Islam in such a bad  light and with the less intelligence of the Westerners, it has always picked up the wrong ideas. So, they think that whatever is done by these terroists was advised by the Prophet Himself. Which is actually far from the truth! The prophet was a divine soul, not his followers. Similarly, Jesus was a divine soul not necessarily His followers are. They are ignorant and refuse to accept the power of faith and belief. The least you can do is forgive them for their arrogance and ignorance. Remember Prophet won wars without spilling a single drop of blood. Thats the ideal you have to follow. The hate would go as it has come. Dun worry about it. You cannot do anything about it. But take care to refrain from any comments demeaning others and other religions ! Slowly people would understand you and your faith.

There was an old tribal practice of chiefs trading first born sons and raising the other's as their own,  to ensure that neither would raid or do harm to the other's tribe (and therefore harm his own son and the people he relies on!)\n\nIf militant Islamists are a threat, I would think that the SAFE thing to do would be to have a high population of moderate Islamists living in your land and among your people, influencing government, teaching children......by integrating a high number of non-radicals into the fabric of society, another Muslim who is more radical might  be more likely to say "well, I don't want to kill tens of thousands of Allah's people...."  rather than having them look at you as the a prospering nation if Infidels who evicted their cousins!

Yes. He was the chief financer behind the terrorist attacks, and was responsible for introducing and training all of the major figures.

That's a good question. Even though there are STILL a lot of people who believe that Iraq and Al Qaeda were in cahoots, the fact of the matter is that Saddam Hussein's regime was SECULAR and that he was actually considered an infidel by the fundamentalists.

Yes.  It is a given that when their Imams preach hatred and violence against non-Moslems, they do not tar and feather the fellows and toss them out of the mosque. \n\nThe question is, what would they do to an Imam who preaches modernization, equality with other religions (rather than dominance over them), freedom of ideas, freedom of speech...?

Yes, but what is more important is who turned him in.  Sunni's,  this an extremely big deal.  Sunni support for terrorism within their own country is coming to an end.

it is possible for anything if Allah wills it.

This would seem an absurd notion. For one just as Christianity & Judaism are divided into multiple sects  So to is Islam divided into two major sects and several minor ones like the Druse of Lebanon. Islam is far from a monolith. In fact Islam was one of the more tolerant of the 3 major Mono-theistic  faiths through much of it's history. In fact during the Spanish Inquisition many of Europe's Jews Fled to Muslim Turkey where they were allowed to to practice freely.\n\nThat said Islam has always had a more militant element than either Christianity or Judaism. Fundamentalist within Islam Have used this militant past to justify a resurgence of militant  behavior in order to reestablish regional caliphates and ultimately the the goal is to reestablish the grand caliphate which would reunite all Muslims under one faith and institute Sharia Law throughout the Muslim world. Many, if not most, of the Islamic fundamentalist sects reject outright the broader interpretation of Jihad as an inner struggle to surrender to the will of Allah. They favor the more literal interpretation of Jihad which is Literally force surrender to Allah's will.\nIn Sum, Are most Muslims terrorist likely not But if you ask are most Fundamentalist Muslims in support of terror and other forceful means the answer would be yes.

So after Muhammad died, the Shias wanted Ali to be the Caliph, because they believed that the imam of Muslims should be from the family of the Prophet. This caused the split. The Sunnis believe the Shias glorify Ali to much, to the extent that it is against Islamic teachings. That's pretty much the basis of it. Nothing to do with what is stated in the Koran or any of the Prophet's hadiths, but just because they want their tribes to be in power. But if the Shias were in control of the leadership of Muslims, what about Muslims in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas?

Most ordinary muslims probably couldnt care less about ruling the world however the radical clerics who are behind terror and who hold a lot of power in most Muslim states do preach this.\n\nIt is known as the Ummah, which is a global islamic state, with sharia law.\n\nIn Nigeria which is a 50% christian and 50% muslim country, the muslim north has adopted sharia law, and are already stoning people to death for petty crime in line with 2000 year old laws.\n\nIn afghanistan during the Taleban rule, Kabul soccer stadium was the site of weekly beheadings.\n\nLive and let live I say, and Muslims have every right to believe what they do, but I will do everything in my power to avoid a situation where I have to believe it as well.

None. It’s not his decision or his right, or that on anyone else's with a God complex.  He's a wealthy Saudi man who didn't fit in.  No one appointed him the representative of anyone.  The only way I could see him able to avenge anyone is the people who chose to follow him.  Most of these people I consider zealots and bigots who should be stopped (sort of like the Klu Klux Klan or the Spanish Inquisition), so I don’t see avenging their captures or deaths as a legitimate act.  I do see that some Arabs and Muslims have real reasons to be upset, but I don’t see how Bin Laden is their “avenger.”  I think that people who don't directly target civilians or support regimes like the Taliban who so grievously harm their civilians would be the best people to represent those civilians.  I also think it should be people from that group: rich Saudi men with tremendous advantages who still couldn't make a positive difference on his co-citizens' lives in his own country need not apply.

Mohamad didnt create 2 beliefs, after his death his followers separated in to different groups and the majority was Shia or Sunni. Like in christianity how there are Babtists, Eastern Orthodox, Catholic.. u get the picture.

The ruling system that emanates from Islam is neither theocratic nor republic. It's unique; Islam is not being implemented in it's totality anywhere in the world. The misconception is that countries such as Saudia Arabia and Iran can be considered Islamic states, however, that is not the case. Furthermore, the Islamic state permits it's citizens to practice other religions, in contrast, to what was just conveyed earlier by the other person. If your intention is to attain a better grasp of the ruling system under Islam then I recommend the book that I inputed under the heading "Source(s)" in the bottom. I hope I was to some avail in respect to your inquiry.
