Strength: At 1.57 Billion Islam is a religion of many subscribers. It is again a state religion of many countries and the followers are often more Fundamentalists then Liberals.

Weakness: Men and Women are not treated equally. Many problems from Poverty, Terrorism to Uncontrolled Militia. Women are not allowed in most mosques.

Opportunity: Will overpower Christianity in terms of largest number of subscribers by the year 2020. Many African Americans and Indian Dalits convert to Islam in search of equality.

Threat: Most Islamic Republics are pressured by the NATO and other groups to become more Liberal. Leaders like Gaddafi are now pro-west and other countries are being invaded by countries like the USA and the UK.

The Angry Imam.

Unlike Christianity, most Islamic Politics is driven by the faith. Many  Political leaders confuse and misguide masses by evoking them in the name of Islam. Countries like Pakistan and Iran where people do not even have food to eat or the Government is going bankrupt, programs of Nuclear Fossil Exploration continues and are sighted.

Then there are preachers like Omar Bakri Muhammed and Abu Hamza who live in Western Countries raking in state benefits in hundreds of thousands of Euros and still omit fire, hatred and speak against their host countries.

On a broader perspective, the armies of countries like Pakistan and other Islamic countries are evoke their soldiers in name of Islam and are often fighting an enemy to conquer in name of Islam.

But all False Prophets of Islam are not like Benny Hinn or Joyce Meyer, the preachers of Islam often stay on ground and do not try to con poor and hungry out of their monies just to feed their personal greed. There is wide spread oppression of Women in Islamic Countries but abuse by Priests and Imams are little heard of.

There were Muslim preachers in India and other Islamic Organisations that barred use of Polio Medicines, which resulted in to wide spread Polio reports within Muslim Populations in those years.

Muslims in many backward countries go to their Imams for justice and the Imams use Sharia Law to pass on the judgements. Often it found that in remote areas of Swat Valley, etc people are beaten up for small and petty crimes. This results in to very poor Human Rights’ Record of Islamic Countries.

All in all, the preachers have only taken the wrong notations of the Qoraan and not the right one, they do not con their followers and all the monies that followers provide often go in waging war and breeding militia and not in Preacher’s pocket.

It is wrong to wage war, when your own people are left hungry. What do you think?
