Uh. No.

No

and the severity of their eventual recision will depend on how long it takes for it to occur

Nope

and this post is so full of errors in don't even know where to begin

No, and they never did dominate the world.

1) Muslims never dominated the world in the first place. At all times in the existence of the islamic faith there have been powers stronger than the strongest islamic power, no scratch that, stronger than all islamic powers put together.

2) While the deaths in Germany and Nice, and Paris and Bali, and Spain, and London, and all the way back to the Twin Towers on 11-9 were tragic and great crimes, on a societal level they are pin-pricks, they barely scratched the surface of the countries in which they took place. It is only because the western world as a whole acted in the worst possible way to these pin pricks that groups like al-qaeda and daesh ever gained any power. Frankly the world was in more danger of being taken over by the INLA.

3) Whose going to bring this "muslim hegemony" to being, the idiot al-baghdadi cowering in Raqqa, the senile idiot drooling over women in Riyadh, the clerics in Tehran who want nothing more than to be left alone to terrorise their own people, the generals who cannot tie their own shoelaces never mind give coherent orders in Islamabad? There is no centre for which a powerhouse can build itself around in the islamic world currently.

For some members who said Islam never dominated the world, I copied the Muslim narrative. Probably you heard Muslims before claiming the modern civilization in the west would have not been without Islam and the rest of it... [Hogwash]

Brilliant!

If you can ever find it where you are there is a great little book called "The Early History of Christianity" by J. P. Jenkins.  It does not focus on the West but rather on the early spread of what western xtians would call heresies ( Nestorian, etc) which spread all the way to China while Europe was falling apart during the Dark Ages.  With rare exceptions the xtian and muslim groups got along quite well.  Until, the Mongols that is in the 13th century.

I'll take this book into my consideration. Thank you for mentioning this info.

I think that the extremist factions have too little unity and far too little support among the general Muslim population to ever dominate the world. I think that as mainstream media works its way into the lives of people under fanatical rule it becomes much harder to keep them in line. Most Muslims are adamant that their religion is peaceful, and given the opportunity to observe it away from the bloodthirsty extremists they will continue to spread the idea that it is peaceful. They do not have the numbers and the ideological support to dominate the world. The best they can do, IMO, is what they're doing now-- oppressing a few nations by controlling the government (whole or in part) and carrying out deadly attacks that will only hurt their cause in the long run.
