riight buz . . .
and I don't think you meant "island" (hint: isle should be aisle).
Did the demise of Saddam hasten or curtail that goal? Nobody knows for sure.
well let's see. After he got into power, what did he do? Oh yeah, start a war with another muslim nation--Iran. After that, what was it? Oh yeah, a war against Kuwait. So the two wars he started were against nations sharing his religion (in the general sense, just like you'd say a baptist and a catholic are both christians).
For that matter, just how long has it been since islam was "spread by the sword"? You know, as in full out war. I'm thinking a damn long time. Let's see, the Ottoman Empire got to the gates of Vienna as I recall, during the 1800s--and that was for territorial ambitions, not religious. So i'm thinking it was the French during the medieval period that ended the spread of Islam by war (for all intents and purposes--the Ottoman Empire did spread Islam, but not directly by war, or as a stated goal).
The rest of your post is equal gibberish.

Re: Islam's Modern Warfare
and those suicide bombers are converting others to Islam just how, exactly? You have to realize, a lot of those bombers are actually blowing themselves up against fellow muslims (such as in Iraq and Pakistan and Afghanistan).
Did the suicide bombing of the WTC convert people? No.
Did the suicide bombing of London's transit convert people? No.
Do the palestinian and Hezzbollah attacks against Israel convert people? No.
The only thing they do is kill people. Over oftimes non-religious issues [palestinians--a homeland; hezbollah--the existance of Israel (not so much religious, it ties into the palestinian homeland thing); Iraq--shitte and sunni (and kurd) political struggle; Afghanistan--the taliban's attempt to regain control (political); Pakistan--god knows, some religious, some separatist, some political]
And on my side of the table, it's not exactly a good idea to blow up your missionary.
You're clutching at straws, buz.
