This document outlines a 5-phase plan by the Muslim Brotherhood to gradually overthrow the US government and implement sharia law:
1) Establish leadership discreetly.
2) Gradually increase Islamic influence through demographic growth, establishing mosques and Islamic organizations.
3) Exert influence in proportion to Muslim population size through pushing for halal food, sharia courts, and "no-go" zones with high crime.
4) Increase lawlessness and uprisings, attacking any non-Muslim actions.
5) Full implementation of sharia law through widespread terror attacks and ethnic cleansing once Muslim populations reach majority levels.

Islam is attracting thousands of converts in Britain each year, including some prominent figures. A new study finds that over 14,000 white Britons have converted to Islam in recent years, disillusioned with Western values. Some high-profile converts include landowners and celebrities. Muslim leaders see the conversion of prominent individuals as helping protect their community during difficult times. Experts note that for mass conversions of white Britons to occur, an inspirational transitional figure promoting an attractive vision of Islam would need to emerge first.
The document discusses the rise of ISIS and its ideological roots in 18th century Wahhabism. It describes how Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab founded the Wahhabi movement in response to the decline of pure Islamic faith under the Ottomans. Wahhabism promoted a strict, literal interpretation of the Quran and hadith. The document argues that ISIS continues to be influenced by Wahhabism, adopting its extreme, violent stances toward those deemed impure or unbelievers. ISIS uses Wahhabi texts and aims to restore the caliphate based on Wahhabist principles of expanding pure Islamic rule.
The document discusses three main forms of Islamic fundamentalism: Wahhabism, Salafism, and Qutbism. It provides details on the origins and key beliefs of each:
Wahhabism originated in Saudi Arabia in the 18th century and seeks to purify Islam of innovations. It is the official faith of Saudi Arabia. Salafism is a broader reform movement that appeals to those seeking religious renewal, though it is not a unified movement. Qutbism advocates for violent jihad and the establishment of states governed by strict sharia law based on the writings of Sayyid Qutb and others. The document examines the influence of each form and their relationships.
The problem of religious conflicts and contentions in Nigeria over the years seems to have belied the original conception of religion as a bastion of peace, equity, and tranquility. This problem becomes more poignant when the frosty relationship between Christianity and Islam is thoroughly investigated. When equated with the manifestations of the African traditional religions, one observes a clear departure from what has been noted of the formation threads of the Christian and Islamic religions, which ordinarily are seen to have one origin – the Abrahamic root. The challenge arises then to interrogate the root of the noted restiveness and how to curtail it, in order to make room for a more cordial, inclusive and progressive-minded relationship that will be of great benefit to the growth and development of the nation

Islam began in the 600s AD when the angel Gabriel revealed the Quran to Muhammad near Mecca. Muslims believe Allah put the words of the Quran into Muhammad's head. Muhammad began preaching in Mecca, causing tension as it was a polytheistic city, forcing him to leave. By 624 AD, Muhammad slowly built an army and conquered Mecca by 629 AD, destroying all religious idols. After Muhammad's death, a power struggle emerged between Abu Bakr and Ali Talib over who would lead the Muslim community, dividing Islam into the Sunni and Shia sects that still exist today with ongoing geo-political issues.

Wahhabism is a branch of Sunni Islam named after Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, an 18th century preacher from Saudi Arabia. Central to Wahhabism is the belief in tawhid (the oneness of God) and the rejection of shirk (polytheism) which is applied literally and includes prohibiting prayers to saints and visiting graves. Wahhabism spread with the expansion of the Saud family in the Arabian Peninsula in the 18th century and is now the dominant form of Islam in Saudi Arabia. Critics argue Wahhabism has been spread more recently through funding from Saudi oil wealth and by associating with conflicts in places like Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Central
Think atheist population is skyrocketing and Christianity is dying? You're wrong! The percentage of population who do not identify with any religion (unaffiliated or atheist) has been growing steadily in the past few years. But in coming decades, religiously unaffiliated people are expected to make up a declining share of the world’s population, according to a recent study by the Pew Research Center. The world is projected to become more religious — not less.
How religious diversity will prevail in the time to come? What will be the future of world’s major religious group? How we will cope with atheism and continuous decline in Christian population? Who’ll take the crown in 2050? Pew Research attempts to answer these questions by projecting the changing size and movement of different religious and non-religious groups through the year 2050 based on a variety of demographic factors.

This document proposes merging the electricity distribution assets of Queensland and New South Wales into a government-owned energy enterprise that could also operate as an international energy services company. It provides examples of government-owned energy companies like Singapore Power, EDF, and Vattenfall that successfully operate electricity, gas, and other energy infrastructure both domestically and abroad. The document argues that a large Australian government-owned energy company could help smaller renewable energy and efficiency companies break into international markets and extract greater value from energy infrastructure than privatizing assets through short-term leases.

Global Developments in Religion
The document discusses global developments in three major world religions: Christianity, Hinduism/Buddhism, and Islam. For Christianity, it summarizes that the religion has grown rapidly in the Global South (Africa, Latin America, Asia-Pacific) in the last century due to higher birth rates and conversions. Pentecostalism has been a major driver of Christianity's growth.

This document provides a 30-day prayer guide for Christians to pray for Muslims and the Muslim world during the Islamic month of Ramadan from August 1-30, 2011. It begins with an introduction explaining the origins of the "30 Days" prayer movement in 1992 among Christian leaders in the Middle East who felt called to pray for Muslims during Ramadan. The document provides daily prayer topics and suggestions for how Christians can pray and engage with the guide individually or in groups. It also includes brief testimonies and background information about the growth of the prayer movement over the last 20 years.
The document discusses evangelism in a pluralistic society. It argues that Christians should practice civil discourse by acknowledging cultural sensitivities, becoming friends with those of other beliefs, openly sharing spiritual experiences, finding connections to the gospel, and asking about openness to learn more while relying on scripture. Civil discourse means respectful discussion of religious beliefs rather than having no beliefs. Most non-Western cultures respect deep personal convictions. The evangelical approach involves acknowledging religious truth claims and that other religions have wisdom while still sharing the gospel message.
Islam in Australia is a minority religious group.While the Australian Muslim community is defined largely by religious belonging, the Muslim community is fragmented racially, ethnically, culturally and linguistically. Members of the Australian Muslim community thus also espouse parallel non-religious ethnic identities with related non-Muslim counterparts, either within Australia or abroad.
This document discusses the spread and impact of militant Islam over the past 1400 years.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

2. The Hadith:
The Prophet peace be upon him says: (The Islam will spread in all
places that have day and night).
• The explanation of the Hadith:
• This is an amazing prophetic miracle, the Prophet peace be
upon him tells us about the rapid spread of Islam and that this
religion will cover all parts of the globe. And this is what we
will learn through the recent statistics on the number of
Muslims all over the world.
• Islam started 1400 years ago with only one man who is the
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and the number of
Muslims today became more than one thousand and four
hundred million Muslims!! So what is the secret of this
amazing spreading, and what does the global statistics say on
the number of Muslims in the world today?
3. Scientific facts:
• Today there are more than 4200 religions in the world! The
statistics say that Islam is the fastest spreading among all religions
in the world! In 1999, the number of Muslims in the world was
1200 million Muslims. But now Islam is spreading in all continents
of the world, as the number of Muslims in 1997 inthe six continents
was: 780 million in Asia, 308 million in Africa, 32 million in Europe, 7
million in America and 385 thousand in Australia.
• In 1900, the number of Muslims all over the world was less than
half the number of Christians but in 2025, the number of Muslims
will become greater than the number of Christians because of the
significant growth of Islamic religion. And this is the highest rate of
growth in the world!
• The Prophet peace be upon him talked about an amazing prophetic
miracle that Islam will spread in all parts of the earth, He peace be
upon him says: (The Islam will spread in all places that have day and
night). And this means that Islam will reach any area of land that
has day and night and this is what really happened as nowadays
there are Muslims all over the world
4. Muslim Populations in Europe
• Europe comprises 55 countries and territories;
some 710,000,000, or about 11% of the
world’s population with probably 94 major
languages. There are 12 countries with
significant Muslim populations and another 5
with a well-established Islam presence. About
5% of the EU (25 countries in the European
Union which alone have 21 official languages)
identify themselves as Muslims. The U.N.
estimates Europe will be 55% Muslim by 2040.
5. Country | Population | Percentage of Muslims
• Albania | 3,639,453 | 70%
• Bosnia and Herzegovina | 4,613,414 | 40%
• Macedonia | 2,066,718 | 33.3%
• Bulgaria | 7,204,687 | 12.2%
• France | 64,420,070 | 5 – 10%
• Switzerland | 7,604,467 | 4.3%
• Germany | 82,329,758 | 3.7%
• UK (United Kingdom) | 61,113,205 | 2.7%
• Denmark | 5,500,510 | 2%
• Finland | 5,250,275 | 0.2%
6. Islam in USA
• According to this research, America now has about 1,209 mosques,
most of which were constructed very recently. Thirty percent of
these mosques were built in the 1990s, and 32% were built in the
1980s. Other statistics show that in 1994, the total number of
mosques in America was 962; in 2000, there was a 25% increase in
this number.
• These data show a natural parallel with the growing number of
Muslims. For example, according to determinations made in 1994,
the number of Muslims attending mosque services was 500,000; in
2000, this figure had increased to 2 million—an approximately
300% increase. A significant part of this number is composed of
people who converted to Islam. The same research shows that
about 30% of those worshippers are converts. According to these
data, about 20,000 Americans accept Islam every year , 75% Of
Them Women
7. In this chart we see
the ethnic
distribution of
American Muslims.
The great majority
of America's
Muslim population
is South-Central
Asian.
This chart on the right
shows the rising
mosque attendance
rates by American
Muslims. There has
been a 77% increase.
The fact sheet below,
prepared by the U.S.
Department of State,
includes the main
figures about Muslim
life in America.
The above graphic representation shows the rising
numbers of mosques in America. Below we see
pictures of mosques in various states.
8. A Florida Times report, "Finding Faith in Islam," tells
about the converts' thoughts and ideas. A Seattle Times
article entitled "Mosque overflows with faithful" reports
that Seattle Muslims are crowding into their mosques.
(below) A report on the American Ministry of Defense's
Internet site, entitled "Islam Growing in America," gives
an account of the Muslims' increasing influence in
American social life and introduces basic Islamic values.
The above report in the August 4, 2001, edition of the
Associated Press news agency states that many more
Americans are attending mosques than ever before.
According to this report, "Growing Islam," an investigation
led by Ihsan Bagby, a faculty member of Shaw University,
revealed that American Muslims are far more active in
mosque-related activities today than they were in the
past.(1)
According to this chart in the October 1, 2001, edition of
Newsweek, in 1994 there were 962 mosques in America
and 485 Muslims per mosque, with a total of 500,000
affiliated Muslims. In 2000, the number of mosques was
1,209, 1,625 Muslims per mosque, and a total affiliation
of 2 million. (2)
9. How Life Changed for Muslim Americans After
Sept. 11
• After Sept. 11, 2001, hate crimes against
Muslims soared. This was a racial issue as
much as a religious one, considering that
anyone perceived to be Arab or South
Asian suddenly became the enemy in the
eyes of some Americans. Given this, it's no
surprise that 55 percent of U.S. Muslims
say that the terrorist attacks made life
more difficult them, according to the Pew
Research Center. Moreover, 78 percent of
Americans overall say that the terrorist
attacks have resulted in Muslims being
unfairly singled out, according to a CBS
News/New York Times poll. Anyone who's
heard about the Koran burnings and
volatile protests against the building of
Islamic centers would be hard pressed to
disagree
10. DEFINING "ISLAMOPHOBIA"
• The term "Islamophobia" was
first introduced as a concept in
a 1991 Runnymede Trust
Report and defined as
"unfounded hostility towards
Muslims, and therefore fear or
dislike of all or most Muslims."
The term was coined in the
context of Muslims in the UK in
particular and Europe in
general, and formulated based
on the more common
"xenophobia" framework
11. • The report pointed to prevailing
attitudes that incorporate the
following beliefs:
• Islam is monolithic and cannot
adapt to new realities
• Islam does not share common
values with other major faiths
• Islam as a religion is inferior to
the West. It is archaic, barbaric,
and irrational.
• Islam is a religion of violence
and supports terrorism.
• Islam is a violent political
ideology
12. • For the purposes of anchoring the current research and
documentation project, we provide the following
working definition:
• Islamophobia is a contrived fear or prejudice fomented
by the existing Eurocentric and Orientalist global power
structure. It is directed at a perceived or real Muslim
threat through the maintenance and extension of
existing disparities in economic, political, social and
cultural relations, while rationalizing the necessity to
deploy violence as a tool to achieve "civilizational
rehab" of the target communities (Muslim or
otherwise). Islamophobia reintroduces and reaffirms a
global racial structure through which resource
distribution disparities are maintained and extended
