Just a little food for thought.
Ishmael
masc. proper name, biblical son of Abraham and Hagar, from Heb. Yishma'el, lit. "God hears," from yishma, imperf. of shama "he heard." The Arabs claim descent from him. Fig. sense of "an outcast," "whose hand is against every man, and every man's hand against him" is from Gen. xvi.12.

Islam
"religious system revealed by Muhammad," 1818, from Arabic, lit. "submission" (to the will of God), from root of aslama "he resigned, he surrendered, he submitted," causative conjunction of salima "he was safe," and related to salam "peace." Islamic is attested from 1791. Earlier Eng. names for the faith include Muhammadism (1614) and Ismaelism (1604), which in part is from Ishmaelite, a name formerly given (esp. by Jews) to Arabs, as descendants of Ishmael (q.v.), and in part from Arabic Ismailiy, name of the Shiite sect that after 765 C.E. followed the Imamship through descendants of Ismail (Arabic for Ishmael), eldest son of Jafar, the sixth Imam. The Ismailians were not numerous, but among them were the powerful Fatimid dynasty in Egypt and the Assassins, both of whom loomed large in European imagination.

Qur'an "The Immunity"
"9.1": (This is a declaration of) immunity by Allah and His Apostle towards those of the idolaters with whom you made an agreement.
"9.14": Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace, and assist you against them and heal the hearts of a believing people.
"9.29": Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
"9.30": And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!

No matter how one wishes these things to be, history has shown us what will be. That is provided that we don't fight against these radicals and their goals of one world under the way of life that they wish to force upon us. The United States is likely the last hope for freedom of religion or the freedom to reject religion if one sees fit. We can live in denial of this or we can accept it for what it is. If you don't mind being forced to bow toward Mecca five times a day and have no problem with others telling you that their God must be worshiped or you must pay a heavy tax and/or be killed, then enjoy that life if you can. I for one will not have any man tell me that their interpretation of the Creator is to only one that is true.
