Are you aware that most Muslims are not radical and do not try to make others submit? That's the people aspect.
He explains: “Within Islamic prophecy, there is an alleged prophecy of Muhammad’s which says that the Muslims would conquer Constantinople – twice. As Mehmet’s armies surrounded the city, he sent Muslim preachers into the camps to proclaim these prophecies to the soldiers.
The result was an army endued with profound sense of prophetic destiny. Conquering Constantinople, they believed, was their divinely ordained calling. “As then, so also today are many of the Islamists throughout the region endued with this sense of prophetic destiny. Not only does ISIS believe they are being swept up by the waves of prophetic destiny, but so also do many of the Turks today believe this.
“Many of the Islamist Turks of the ruling Justice and Development (AKP) Party of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Prime Minister Davutoğlu believe that as they snatch their nation out of the control of the secular Kemalism established by Atatürk that has dominated Turkey for the past 80 plus years, they are fulfilling Muhammad’s prophecy of conquering Constantinople ‘a second time.'” Richardson argues Islamic radicals are basing their actions on their own beliefs about the end times and warns, “Do not tell me that Islamic apocalyptic prophecies are not relevant.”
Globally, Muslims have the highest fertility rate, an average of 3.1 children per woman—well above replacement level(2.1) due to young age of Muslims (median age of 23) compared to other religious groups.[3] Christians are second, at 2.7 children per woman.[4] Hindu fertility (2.4) is similar to the global average (2.5).[5] Worldwide, Jewish fertility (2.3 children per woman) also is above replacement level.[6] All the other groups have fertility levels too low to sustain their populations and would require converts to grow or maintain their size: indigenous and tribal religions (1.8 children per woman), other religions (1.7), the unaffiliated (1.7) and Buddhists (1.6).[7]

Yes but you will not see Christians in Europe trying to get others to submit through fear and violence as we have seen with Islam, nor will the misogynistic parts of the Epistles of the New Testament boost the numbers of new Christian converts.

The Christian White House is impressive, as it burns with lies, lies, and more lies. I'm sure Jesus is proud.
