"If you have time, could you share your thoughts about how the world is going to shift from its current state of moral relativism to absolutist Islam?"
Through violence; if necessary. You will be offered to SUBMIT, and bow the knee to Allah, and recite with your mouth that he is the one and only god, and then you must bow to him, and live by his law; Cruel sharia. I think that this act of faith will be directly connected to whether you will be able to buy or sell too, in the future when the man of sin dominates all.
Ruthlessness is a necessary component of Jihad. Consider this secondary school in Beslan (North Ossetia province), Russia, during a ceremony to mark the first day of the new school year...........................________________BT
"Aside from India and Israel, probably no modern industrialized nation has suffered to the degree that Russians have at the hands of Islamic terrorists.
Having held the "Great Satan" title long before it was transferred to the USA, Muslim militants have taken particular glee in tormenting Russians. Muslim sites have posted movies depicting the beheading of Russian soldiers long before such acts became a spectacle to Westerns.
What could collectively be described as Russia’s Sept 11th occurred late Aug, 2004. That month homicide bombers brought down two commercial airliners, a suicide bombing targeting commuters in Moscow, then a bloody hostage incident at a Beslan school killing hundreds of women and children.
On Sept 3rd, 2004, Russians saw up close and personal the spectacle of children being mowed down by bombs and automatic fire at School No. 1 in the southern Russian town of Beslan. On that day the nation's worst hostage crisis came to a tragic end of gunfire, explosions, and death....[http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Islam_Undressed:_Beslan,_Russia_and_Islam [ great site for study ]
So, by murdering innocent school children; they display their commitment to just how radical they are, instilling their motive....TERROR, and the shiver of terror's objective is that through fear, you submit. ....and by the way, these homicide bombers also died in this hideous act of terror upon the innocent.
Jihad becomes the most coveted act in the life of a young Muslim boy, and they are fiercely indoctrinated as soon as they can talk, that to die in Allah's cause, and to kill in Allah's cause, is the reason for their being.
They are honored and promoted, and fondly and proudly remembered as brave martyrs, and many, TRY to die. Not only do they indiscriminately murder; they desire death. How can you defeat an army like this? Israel, being that other son of Abraham, and hated like a poisonous pig, have dealt with Jihad from day one, and upon travelling there, you soon realize that you are in an armed camp.
As far as secular humanism and Marxism/Socialism a la Obama style, I smell something in the air. This Arab Spring thing, being financed, and promoted by America? Everyone knows that RADICAL ISLAM and the Muslim Brotherhood are benefiting, and being rushed into power, as Egypt has proven with her new President, along with others.
A massive Caliphate is being formed, and we know they desire to destroy us..[ 9/11! ]..and yet the Marxists seem to be cuddling up to Islam, and perhaps the NWO is more informed and globally united than we think; and they are working out the hows and whys of that carved up world as we speak; you know, the Trilateral commission and the Bilderbergers and such.
Islam will not shift; until every Christian and Jew on Earth exists no more....though...some Jews and many Christians will convert to Islam; bow down and worship him.
You ask how? Consider Africa today; weak, poor, and remote. Islam is chewing Africa up, slaughtering as it rides south, and every Christian and tribal village and city that evens whimpers at the cruelty, woefully dies, men, women, and babies. The Sword of Allah.
They will not accept money; at one time, there was a tax paid to Allah to keep your society, but no more. It is submit, but there may be a hedge somewhere for the liberal mindset to exist in the happy fringe ; but certainly no room to defy or resist it.
In Europe, who let Islam sneak in, so to speak, you can be murdered for joking about Mohammad. So, I'm sure the liberals know there time as totally free thinkers is coming to an end, but Satan can be very flexible, even when every knee is bowed to him.
The final enemy of JIHAD is Christ Himself, when He folds up time and space as a scroll, and reveals Himself rising from His Royal and Eternal Throne, with every eye on Earth seeing Him as He is; GOD ALMIGHTY! and He is angry,and holds a gleaming sword..[ must be about the size of Delaware?]..and then, well, the Jihadists will try to hide, but have no place to run.
This, a as I see it is when the Anti-Christ Mullah will invade Israel and surround Jerusalem with a 200 million man army to slaughter every Jew there who refuses to bow the knee to Allah....and resolves to murder the rest, and Jesus says "No More!"
This entire event is swooping down upon us, and is called the GREAT TRIBULATION, and we can only guess at the sequence of it all, and the intricacies of how one ideology will be crushed? or will it be blended in...But I think that Jihad and Sharia will be pure until the end, and see Jesus, their sworn enemy, as who He is, and he will reward that army for it's ideology...spilling blood for submissions sake.
"So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs."
