Hegemony or Empire?
Hegemony or Empire? | Foreign Affairs

Our armies do not come into your cities and lands as conquerors or enemies, but as liberators. ... It is [not] the wish of [our] government to impose upon you alien institutions. ... [It is our wish] that you should prosper even as in the past, when your lands were fertile, when your ancestors gave to the world literature, science, and art, and when Baghdad city was one of the wonders of the world. ... It is [our] hope that the aspirations of your philosophers and writers shall be realized and that once again the people of Baghdad shall flourish, enjoying their wealth and substance under institutions which are in consonance with their sacred laws and their racial ideals.

-- General F. S. Maude to the people of Mesopotamia, March 19, 1917

The government of Iraq, and the future of your country, will soon belong to you. ... We will end a brutal regime ... so that Iraqis can live in security. We will respect your great religious traditions, whose principles of equality and compassion are essential to Iraq's future. We will help you build a peaceful and representative government that protects the rights of all citizens. And then our military forces will leave. Iraq will go forward as a unified, independent, and sovereign nation that has regained a respected place in the world. You are a good and gifted people -- the heirs of a great civilization that contributes to all humanity.

-- President George W. Bush to the people of Iraq, April 4, 2003

From Howard Bloom: http://howardbloom.net/islam.htm

The answer appears to be an unqualified yes.

Do Christians? Do you?

Christians are called to preach the gospel to all the nations.As a Christian I want to see as many believers as possible all across the world.The bible wants us to love one another.I have no intentions of taking over the world though.It Just seems to me that the muslims are strategically placing themselves in every nation to poise themselves to rule the world.I am interested in all comments from you guys,keep them coming.

Converting everyone to Christianity (i.e. taking over the world) seems like it would be the logical, if not explicitly stated, goal of evangelism.

It is a thin line for sure...So what you are saying along with Cubbie is that "Christians are just as guilty of wanting to take over the world" ? I understand what you guys are saying.

Im in the middle of an Intro to Islam course and I find as many similar beliefs among Christians and Muslims than I do differences. It really is unfortunate how misconceptions and fear have successfully taken hold in some people of all religions to severely restrict their perceptions.

No I do not think Muslims, as a whole, want to take over the world.

regardless of whether muslims or christians want to rule the world, was that the message of muhammad or jesus. or other religious figures.
