Toltec, it's almost impossible to improve Islam.
Islam mean " submission ". And when you are submissive, you OBEY ! You say " amen "

to everything.
If you want to enslave the world, Islam is THE faith to do it. You can't enslave the world via a religion like Christianity, Orthodoxism, Budhism (
Budhsim is a philisophy, not a religion ).
Sometimes, the Bible and the Torah are violent, but the Quran is almost allways violent !
Also, look at them. You never saw a muslim who was laughing from his religion, like the Christians and the Jews can do it from their own faith.
We saw many movies, where peoples were laughing from the Jews ( Mel Brooks ) or from the Christians ( Monty Pythons

[ I like them so much ] ).
If a muslim just dare to think that, may be, he can do a little joke from Muhamad or Allah, he'll have instantaneously a fatwah on his back ! These
guys are really sinisters and dangerous. More than 99.9% of them are fundamentalists.
There is just soft fundamentalist and hard fundamentalists. But even the soft ARE fundamentalist.
