Predict the future
OP - September 16, 2009, 11:09 PM

Hi All,

Just out of curiosity, what do you all think will happen in the future in Islam in terms of the religion and the populations at large considering that:

- nations are trying to weed out subtle Islamic memes, e.g. the veil/burka
- oil revenue will run out at some point in the Arab region
- fundamentalism halting modern progression
- Muslim population growth & immigration
- the Internet/information freedom & communication allowing youngsters (mainly) to reject the faith

Would be interesting to read your thoughts/links. Thanks!

I really don't care what happens in the future to be honest. Islam won't be around 4-5 thousand year from now--and I'll be long dead by then....

So yeah.

Call me TAP TAP! for I am THE ASS PATTER!

Hmm interesting. Thanks for the opinions.

One thing I fear will happen is that Islamic nations will continue to grow (currently estimated at about 1.5 Billion people) and the West (& Far East) will continue to develop away in science & technology.

Once oil runs out 40 years from now, the Arab world with many illiterate people will become poor. The only hope I see if for them is to follow the lead of countries like UAE or Egypt in trying to diversify the economy away from just natural resources.
