I am aware of what the hadeeth says and they are clear and cannot be taken for dual meanings. We are not discussing Zaid Hamid and his over zealous ways here, we here are discussing the fact that u refered to the matter at hand as that guys dellusions while as facts stand they are authentic hadeeth.
We are living in times when the other side has clear dominance and hence it is understandble, conventional even to think as victory for muslims impossible yet history pays no heed to convention. Its not a fantasy, we have done it before, we will do it again. Empires stand and fall, the only thing that remains constant is the transfer of power.
Food for thought, maybe if we start discussing our beautiful religion more openly and not shy away from it, maybe if we start owning it again, then maybe just maybe, we might be able to take its ownership back from the munafiq mullah who has destroyed its soul or the crazed teenager who is easily coherced into becoming a rabid khawarij by foriegn entities.
