I am not, I am more worried about some nut shooting of a nuke. But outside their governments, our planet is in no danger of becoming all fundy Islam. China will never be, Russia will never be, Japan will never be. And no, America will never be.
Not even Iran or Saudi Arabia have enough weapons as governments to do anything but conduct a local beef and even our economic enemies like China and Russia would fight a Islamic invasion.
Worry more about a nuclear war from Iran or North Korea, be even with what would be left over, the east would get hurt far worse and what would be left in the wake would be easily split up by non Muslim factions.
I'd worry more about lone wolfs than entire Islamic states and even then it wont get past being anything more than pest, annoying pest and deadly pest, but no, the west is in no danger of being overthrown by Islam.
