I just noticed the typos in the poll 
I agree with some parts of your answer. I still however consider Islam as a religion that pushes toward globalization. It's true that we have Muslims fighting Muslims which decreases the chance for them to dominante. The technological advancement of Muslims is weak and hardly witnessed, another aspect of their problem. That's not to say that Muslims don't have nuclear power in case of Iran and there has been some rumors about the Saudis having it as well. The hidden part of the problem comes with the ideological conversion, look how effective ISIS is in recruiting foreign fighters from all over the world. No doubts the Iranian fanatic regime won't hesitate to use nuclear weapons against their opponents if they feel they need to and this is especially true if that power is used to push or defend their ideology. The general Muslim view that Islam is a religion of peace is just another delusion for those who keep repeating it.

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.
