Well believe it or not there was a time when Islam was a tolerant, progressive, and influential culture.
The Islamic Golden Age
This was a time of extreme progress, and scientific discovery.
I know this, but then it was upsurped by greedy power mongers who use it to their own advantage.
That's not working out so well nowadays. Islams time has passed...for now.
The question remains however, can moderate followers of Islam reclaim it?
The Rothschilds are the puppet masters and everyone else falls into place somewhere underneath.
I also don't see how direct democracy is the first step to Sharia law, as Sharia law exists because of the suspension of democracy. Who in this country would vote to have Sharia, besides the very very very small percentage of fundamentalist Muslims?
isn't that the whole point of democracy, voting on issues and the majority of the votes decides its.
now america has a minority (435 congressmen, 100 senators, 9 justices and 1 president) imposing their will on the majority, just like the framers intended.
In contrast to the Christianity version of the Antichrist, Islam believes in the 12 Imam who will unite the world under Islam and bring fourth Sharia law to the world.

The minority has power as well. Their voice cannot be crushed by votes or numbers and are protected by law and yes, sometimes the minority can force an issue. This is exactly why the US is a Representative Republic and not a true Democracy.
There is a very important difference

We have President Obama who has done an apology tour around the middle east and the rest of the world. He is soft on foreign policy. He backs off and delays allowing Iran to develop a nuclear arsenal.
Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made many speeches on the 12 Imam and bringing him about at the UN.
Divine knowledge that was carried and disseminated by such prophets as Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammad. Today, agnostic thinking is on the decline and presently humanity is equally enamored with religion, science, knowledge and spirituality. This is an auspicious beginning.
All Divine prophets from the Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) to the Prophet Moses, to the Prophet Jesus Christ , to the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him), have all called humanity to monotheism, justice, brotherhood, love and compassion. Is it not possible to build a better world based on monotheism, justice, love and respect for the rights of human beings, and thereby transform animosities into friendship?
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful "Oh God, hasten the arrival of Imam Al-Mahdi and grant him good health and victory and make us his followers and those who attest to his right fullness"
Let us, hand in hand, expand the thought of resistance against evil and the minority of those who are ill-wishers. Let's support goodness and the majority of people who are good and the embodiment of absolute good that is the Imam of Time, The Promised One who will come accompanied by Jesus Christ, and accordingly design and implement the just and humanistic mechanisms for regulating the constructive relationships between nations and governments.
All this can be attained when humanity reaches its zenith and the last Divine resource, a progeny of the beloved prophet of Islam,Imam Mahdi will appear and so will Jesus,son of Mary (peace be upon him) and all other righteous people who will assist him in this great global endeavor and this is the very idea of awaiting a savior. Awaiting the government of the good and the righteous which is the hope of all people for the betterment of the world. They shall come and with the aid of the pious and the righteous will fulfill the historical ideals of human beings for freedom, excellence, growth, security and tranquility, peace and magnificence. They shall come to end war and aggression and bestow knowledge, morality and friendship on all humankind. Yes, (and indeed) yes, a bright future lies ahead for humanity.
and Quran names with respect the previous Messengers of God, like Noah, Abraham, Isaaq, Joseph, Moses and Jesus Christ and endorses them. Theyburned Quran to burn all these truths and good judgments. However, the truth could not be burned. On behalf of the Iranian nation I pay respect to all Divine Books and their followers. This is the Quran and this is the Bible. I pay respect to both of them.In the recent centuries, the human ethics and values have been rejected as a cause for backwardness. They were even portrayed as opposing wisdom and science because of the earlier infliction on man by the proclaimers of religion in the dark ages of the West. The complete human, the true servant of God and the true friend of the mankind whose father was from the generation of the beloved Prophet of Islam and whose mother was from the true believers of the Jesus Christ, shall wait along with Jesus the son of Marry and the other righteous to appear on those brilliant times and assist the humanity.
The creation of a supreme and ideal society with the arrival of a perfect human being who is a true and sincere lover of all human beings, is the guaranteed promise of Allah. He will come alongside with Jesus Christ to lead the freedom and justice lovers to eradicate tyranny and discrimination, and promote knowledge, peace, justice freedom and love across the world.
-The arrival of the Ultimate Savior, Jesus Christ and the Righteous will bring about an eternally bright future for mankind,not by force or waging wars but through thought awakening and developing kindness in everyone.Their arrival will breathe a new life in the cold and frozen body of the world. He will bless humanity with a spring that puts an end to our winter of ignorance, poverty and war with the tidings of a season of blooming.
-God Almighty has promised us a man of kindness, a man who loves people and loves absolute justice, a man who is a perfect human being and is named Imam Al-Mahdi, a man who will come in the company of Jesus Christ (PBUH) and the righteous.
- The current world order is discriminatory and based on injustice.
