Radical Muslims believe their faith will conquer the world and lead to the establishment of a global Islamic government. Those who hold this view, say there will never be real lasting peace between Jews and Arabs. Most Muslims believe it is their destiny to conquer the entire Middle East as the first step toward Islamic global rule. This is the true agenda of all the dedicated Muslims in the Middle East.
