Same as the Islamic empire. Islam itself isnt the preoblem but the people who want to follow it their way and make their own rules.

IM not saying that these islamic nations of today wouldnt try to rule the world with force and dictatorship, because tthey probably would. But they would do it for their own personal greed and self absorbance, not because they are following sharia.
"He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may make it conqueror of all religion however much idolaters may be averse."(Qur'an 61:9) [25]
[22:64-65] To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Absolutely, Allah is the Most Rich, Most Praiseworthy. Do you not see that Allah has committed in your service everything on earth?
[31:26]To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. He is the Rich, the Praised.
Surah 61, verse 9
It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, that he may proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).
Surah 22, verses 65-66
To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: for verily Allah,- He is free of all wants, Worthy of all Praise. Seest thou not that Allah has made subject to you (men) all that is on the earth, and the ships that sail through the sea by His Command? He withholds the sky (rain) from failing on the earth except by His leave: for Allah is Most Kind and Most Merciful to man.
YUSUFALI: It is He Who gave you life, will cause you to die, and will again give you life: Truly man is a most ungrateful creature!
Surah 31, verse 26
Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. Lo! Allah, He is the Absolute, the Owner of Praise.
Surah 5:48
To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;

Islam divides the world up in two houses, "the house of peace" and "the house of war". All parts of the planet that are not under islamic rule is the house of war. This is common knowledge in theology.

Do you even understand the concept of Taqiyya or why it was ever instituted and the rules concerning it?
And seriously? Supremacist demon? That is a big bigoted of you to say to anyone while you refuse to fight your government on issues that involve the bombing of other countries for no reason and the supporting of the extremists in muslim countries!
As far as what verses are abrogated or not, well among the scholarship that number varies with some saying as little as only 1 verse in the Quran was ever abrogated...
as to the verses you speak of... we have to look at the situations at the time in order to see the true meaning, this is why history is very important...
we have verses of peace during a peaceful time, a time when muslims and christians were working together and living together in peace... later, the muslims and christians ended up going to war, and other verses came into being, but none of the peace verses were abrogated. If we are friends with the christians then we do not kill them during times of peace, but if we are at war, well lets face it war is war is it not? and if they incline once more to peace then by the quran we must be peaceful with them, and not break our oaths or treaties with them....
Peaceful verses are only not during war.... and only when the war is brought to the muslims by the christians... there is a holistic and logical way of dealing with other peoples, all spelled out in the Quran... none of that is abrogated.... but it all has its own place depending on what is happening during the time we find ourselves in!

"The out of context" contra-argument is outdated and exposed as typical Kitman/Taqiyya loooooong ago.

Be gone with your insanity, supremacist demon. We can more easily progress in the west without you and your lunatic kind around to screw things up.

Dar al harb and Dar al islam: I never said it was in the quran itself.
Dar al islam is paradise? Liar... again
en.wikipedia.org...
Dar al-Islam (Arabic: دار الإسلام literally house/abode of Islam; or Dar as-Salam, house/abode of Peace; or Dar al-Tawhid, house/abode of monotheism) is a term used by Muslim scholars to refer to those countries where Muslims can practice their religion freely. It's the area of the world under the rule of Islam , literally, "the home of Islam" or "the home of submission."

This is not true. Muslims do not await the return of Muhammad.
There are prophecies (HADITHS) that talk about Jesus and a Mahdi coming. In-fact, many Muslin scholars think the Mahdi and Jesus are one and the same and others think they are two separate people.
But these prophesies ARE NOT in the Quran they are traditions.
