No, I don't seriously believe Muslims have a chance in hell of dominating the world, because their culture and religion is too stagnant.

However, when I ask myself whether I think a culture or religion is good for this world, I find it a useful exercise for me to think about what life would be like if I had to live under the rules of that culture or religion. It's a thought experiment. So when I compare Jewish Israel to any Muslim country, I very quickly come to the conclusion I'd rather live under the rules of Jewish Israel than under the rules of any Muslim country. I mean let's face it. Who would want to give up all the freedoms we American have? If I was a woman I'd be even more against the Muslim religion. M.E. Muslim countries are appalling in their treatment of women.

The only Muslim countries that even come close to anything civilized are Indonesia and Turkey, but Indonesia has been ruled by backward thinkers and has alot of persecution of other religions going on their, while Turkey seems to be backsliding towards Islamism recently. Of all the great religion on this earth right now, I think Islam may very well be the most regressive and oppressive in existance.
