This is what we face:

The establishment of a ruling class who are essentially lazy. Muslims aren’t the most productive people in the world. In effect it involves the re-establishment of slavery;

The end of literature and art. Islam doesn’t do it, and anyway publishing and new ideas is not something the Arabic world appreciates;

The wholesale rewriting of history;

The removal of vast amounts on non-Islamic material. Not only buildings but also paintings, statues, established books, the Bible, religious documents and artifacts from other cultures. Only one book counts, and be assured it isn’t by Marx or Darwin or Shakespeare and certainly will not include Harry Potter or even Beatrix Potter;

The destruction of cathedrals and churches, and the rise of large mosques dominating the skyline, the insistence that a desert culture and habits are acceptable to all;

A significant alteration to eating habits. If it isn’t halal, it’s not there;

The possibility of increased civil wars. The troubles of Europe 500 years ago will be reborn as Muslim sects are in a continual war. Muslims kill other muslims frequently, and with no regard. If France follows one Muslim code and Britain another, guess what happens?

The complete change of our legal system, with Sharia, ‘blood money’ and various anti-female practices replacing our present universal philosophy of equality;

The veiling and subjugation of women and their reduction to second class citizens. Add to that those who don’t convert to Islam, with attendant taxes and divisions;

The total demise of gays and people with alternative life-styles;

The increased persecution of Jews, and later the removal of Catholicism, Wicca, the persecution of Hindus, Rastafarians, Buddhists, and especially ‘non-believers’;

Capital punishment (beheading in particular) reintroduced in all societies, and often on flimsy evidence or hearsay;

The stoning of women who have been raped, and ‘honor killings’ by wronged families who either fail to marry their daughters off at an early age by arrangement or are shamed by the female falling in love;

Schools becoming merely empty shells for the reciting of the Koran, and females denied education;

The continuation of terrorism because it has been ‘proved’ to work. It merely changes targets;

The emergence of people like Bin Laden as ‘heroes’ and ‘visionaries’;

The imposition of a political order by people who are committed to anti-democratic elements, where the struggle for power is ostensibly based on a love of God – though an angry and vicious God who thrives on killing.

The above points aren’t in order of importance or a suggestion of a time scale. But they constitute some of the aims of Islam.

But hey, it isn’t going to happen according to the wise and great in our midst. Well, only if you look up and start to think…
