Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips, is a Canadian Muslim scholar, who was born as a Christian in Jamaica in 1947 and grew up in Canada, where he accepted Islam in 1972. In a recent Friday sermon, Bilal Philips argued that Judaism and Christianity are a distortion of Islam, and that, Jesus, who was a Muslim, represents the link connecting the three religions. He accused a small group of Muslims of provoking Islamophobia because of their call to implement the Islamic Law (Sharia) in Europe where Muslims are a minority. When Muslims become the majority, explained Bilal Philips, they are obliged to implement the Islamic Law.
The following are excerpts from Bilal Philip’s sermon (published on YouTube on August 21, 2016):
“Prophet Jesus. Issa [Arabic name of Jesus], peace be upon him, represents the bond or the link between the three last versions of Islam. The third Islam being the true version.
“Christianity [is] a distortion, and Judaism [is] a distortion, though in its roots Judaism was Islam as in the roots of Christianity, as Jesus taught it, it was Islam. Jesus represents the link between all three.
“Twenty two states in the US out of their fifty two states, twenty two of them legally banned the Islamic Law (Sharia)…
“The Sharia is the law of God, the law of Allah which is good for all times, all people in all places. That is the reality.
“Wherever Muslims are able to apply it, it is their duty to apply it, not to force it upon people as a minority in a country of non Muslims.
“We have foolish Muslims, you know, calling for Sharia in the middle of Europe and creating the scare.
“We can’t apply it unless we are the majority and the majority agree, then we can apply it, if the majority don’t agree even we’re all Muslims, but the majority don’t agree to apply Sharia to try, to apply it is to unleash bloodshed in the Muslim nation [Ummah], because Muslims will fight you.
“Wherever Muslims are able to apply it, it is their duty to apply it, not to force it upon people as a minority in a country of non Muslims.
if the majority don’t agree even we’re all Muslims, but the majority don’t agree to apply Sharia to try, to apply it is to unleash bloodshed in the Muslim nation [Ummah], because Muslims will fight you.

You shouldn't force even as a majority.
if the majority don’t agree even we’re all Muslims, but the majority don’t agree to apply Sharia to try, to apply it is to unleash bloodshed in the Muslim nation [Ummah], because Muslims will fight you.
Even here he is saying if the majority don't agree to force it ("apply it") would mean causing war ("bloodshed").
His English isn't very good so I can see the confusion you're having.

Madness I know, but it isn't going to happen in the next decade, believe me. Sure, some will believe it will, but it won't.

My reading of it is that he is saying Muslims will fight other Muslims trying to force the idea.

You misunderstand him...
Islam means "Submission To God"...
Which is what all Religions are...
So while not Islam, all religions are islamic (small I)...
