“Muslims who keep repeating that Islam will take over the world aren’t “Islamists”, they don’t even know what an Islamist is, and they don’t think of themselves as plotting against the country they live in.
For Islam to rule the world, from a Muslim’s perspective, is like Christ ruling the world from a Christian’s, or the Moshiach ruling from a Jew’s.
It’s a good thing. It’s the inevitable, ultimate end, the rule of the Creator over His creation.
The difference is this.
A Christian who longs for Christ to reign, or a Jew who awaits the messianic age, doesn’t believe he has to conquer the world to install his messianic figure.
He believes that figure will do it himself, ushering in a world of justice.
Muslims, however, believe they themselves must subjugate the world to Allah’s rule, by any means necessary.
And it’s that Machiavellian logic, where the end sanctifies the method, that turns violence, manipulation, and exploitation into justified tools." Dan Burmawi, Substack, 19th of June, 2026. https://substack.com/@danburmawi/posts
