#1 World's future belongs to Islam

This is a warning. See below for the last time this sort of thing happened (a metaphorical warning from a movie of all things)

#3 WORLD NEWS > [Michael Scheurer, ex-CIA]AL-QAIDA "WINNING THE WAR AGZ WEST".

Scant evidence that AQ has been rolled back despite the deaths or capture of many of its Leaders, + espec per the death of Osama Bin Laden.

I'm a'guessin SCHEURER means, AQ IS WINNING - THE US-WEST JUST DOESN'T KNOW NOR CARES ABOUT IT YET???

#4 "World's future belongs to Islam" We have have heard that tune before. Islam is like other religions. People bend and shape it to suit their needs. The fascination with the Nazi in the Arab world has a long history. It does find a home with Islam. The control of people and self belief of superiority then lebensborn perhaps?.

#5 That scary, fascist religion, that oppresses women, never produced a citizen who could solve one of the FOUR GREAT MYSTERIES of the universe on her summer internship!!

Way to go, Amelia!!

#6 Iranian Intelligence

An oxymoron (plural oxymorons or oxymora) (from Greek ὀξύμωρον, "sharp dull") is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms.

#7 OldSpook, I think of that movie scene often (too often.) It is one of the most powerful in film history, IMO.

#8 When the oil under those countries starts to dry up they'll be sitting on Africa v2.

Islamic Culture is not a reciprocal. Reciprocation is the single path to wealth (they swap their oil for western wealth).
When the oil goes they'll be no wealth.

#9 In a way I agree, as the history of Islam is expand or implode, which I think makes OS's movie clip quite appropriate; Fertile Crescent, Egypt of Wheat, can't even feed themselves. I foresee the old standby of extortion and trade route tolling.

#10 ...And while I'm at it, has anyone else ever considered that the more a given group says that the future belongs to them, the more willing they are to use violence to overcome the unexpectedly high number of people who disagree with them?

#12 Hasn't exactly helped Africa ha it?

You notice most of the time these Middle East countries get westerners to run the oil extraction for them.

While I hold no truck for "peak oil" lunacy I'm quite pleased it's accelerating the rate of development for oil alternatives.

#13 "Iranian Intelligence
An oxymoron"

With the emphasis on the "moron," Mike.

#14 Peak oil is sadly not true. Peak cheap oil is. The light sweet crude is running out but they've got just as much heavy thick crude under the desert as they ever did. They are still floating on an ocean of oil, 100 year's worth of world supply. It's just harder to get the thick stuff out.

They are experimenting with steam injection
