Mr PirSahab, you just fall up on us with hardcore stuff just like the Christian fundamentalists do. Take it easy my friend. Iran will not be destroyed and contrary it will be very soon head to head with industrial nations. I would like to add an other thing. The USA will not be destroyed either nor will the West be. There will be shift in power politics but no huge destructions will occure. The big guys always know how to live in harmony when it comes to mutual interest and /or mutual destruction.

"All the world becomes Muslim" is your dream with respect..but The God of Moses, Jesus and Muhamad will not allow that to happen simply because it goes against the Quranic teachings. If your radical theory is true, why would the Quran recognize Christianity and Judaism..? The bottom line from my research in Islam is that people are free to chose there religion and they will be judged according to rules they believed in and respected. So the idea so far I learned is that of decipline, nationhood, viability, goodwill more than anything else..In the Quran: (you have your religion and I have mine) Surat al Kafirun and again in Surat Taqweer (you -Muhammad- are meant to remind them not to control them)..conclusion: Chose your god and enjoy..

Radical Muslims, Christians and Jews are always against this idea because saying that will make them lose a class system and will bring them to earth in the level of the general public..so Clerics are like Corporates, very much interested in keeping the significant class gap..and that is why we have wars.

This is called the real swinging..the swinging between a mind state and a memory..not between beer and pop corn or between Genesis and its only one exegesis..or between the Kuran and the Bukhari and Moslem..If you want to realy swing, swing bewteen the Kuran and the Kuran, between the trees of the same Bible garden and make sure to eat..for once you eat like me, you will know more..
