Crossroads! Islam in the 21st Century

First Iraq... then Iran... then perhaps Pakistan... With Iran clinging to theocracy and neighboring Turkey clutching at the E.U., and with Indonesia on a political tightrope, Islam is indeed at a crossroads in the new century. The demographics say that Islam's 1.2 billion adherents will increase in numbers, but the geopolitical map says they won't increase in power on the global stage. Muslims won't get richer. Why? Is it because of some American-Zionist conspiracy? Is it because of Israel? Or the price of oil? Or feminism? Maybe it's because of the Muslims themselves, who cannot shed their differences regarding their beliefs, their political affiliations, aid and trade, and the very nature of Islam itself. The author's message here is stark. "We have to co-operate amongst ourselves. We have to stop fighting each other." He cites Europe as a shining example of co-operation - even after communism and two World Wars. But can Islam (="Peace") find a mature role among the great world powers in an increasingly secular and mercenary world? Read Mohamed's in-depth analysis of a troubled faith, and decide for yourself.
