"Where we are heading as a civilization will be forever determined by what happens in this century. If mankind is destined to revert to wild barbarism, it won't take us 100,000 years to come to that. If humanity falls to Islam, and all our freedoms are lost, mankind's reversion to barbarism, would perhaps occur within a mere100 years. Under present trends, at some point during this century, the entire world could become Islamic, beginning first with Europe. From there, in a matter of a few centuries, after the world has already succumbed, civilization would not only fall, but would face its ultimate demise, in total cultural annihilation. This is the same fate that has befallen to all previous Islam-subdued civilizations. They were subdued, and then forced into cultural extinction. This obliteration was so complete that virtually little is left to memory. If Islam is not stopped now, what we know today, as culture will vanish. It will be called taghoot (ungodly) and jaheliyah (ignorance) and will be destroyed. Little trace of what is today known as civilization will be left, just as little of the ancient civilizations of Persia and Egypt are left"-Ali Sina
