Will Islam Dominate?

I remember watching an internet news video of a rally held in New York by Muslim extremists. One person carried a sign stating "Islam Will Dominate." I thought at first that this was just an idle boast. But is it? If we look at the world birth rates, we see that the birth rate of Western nations, such as Germany, is much lower than those of Muslim countries, such as Niger. In fact, the death rate exceeds the birth rate. The people of the West cannot replenish themselves. What's the cause of this? What's the difference between Western nations and Muslim countries? It's simple. Western nations practice contraception and abortion while Muslim countries don't. Based on Darwin's view of "survival of the fittest", the people of the West will become extinct, while the people of Muslim nations will survive. Therefore, the notion that Islam will dominate is no idle boast. Extremists don't even need to wage Jihad against the West. All they have to do is sit back and wait for the West to drive itself to extinction. Maybe it's time for the countries of Europe and North America to wake up and realize that. And you thought that Global Warming was a threat to your survival? Guess again.

Want to Change the World? Then Change Yourself.

I work in a very diverse office. People there came from countries in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, & the Middle East. They all lament the corruption that exists in their home countries. This brings to mind a story which my aunt told me about my uncle, who also lived in another country where corruption is common. He was an officer in the military. One day, he took a wrong turn and was cited by a cop for some traffic violation. Usually, when the offender is a military officer, the cop would let you go. If you were not an officer, then you get a ticket. When the cop checked my uncle's ID and discovered he was an army officer, he tried to let my uncle go without a citation. But my uncle was a man with integrity. He told the cop "I broke a traffic rule, so give me the ticket and I'll pay the fine." Imagine what would happen if each individual changed his/her behavior & acted with honesty and integrity. Want to change the world? Then start with yourself.
