Mani...I have to say that the majority of us will only ever have a very shallow understanding of Islam.......however much you try to educate us about the subject .....some people will not even consider reading about islam at all.
I am not sure about whether muslims want to take over the country...or even the world , most religions strive for converts....and for those who feel the desire to convert to Islam, that is fine. Maybe the media are in some respects generating fear about an Islamist takeover......And as for sweeping generalisations I'm sure we are all to some degree guilty of this at some point or other. I would not like to be considered 'racist' or 'ignorant' just because I stated my views. We are all entitled to hold opinions, and these differ greatly...which all makes for interesting reading.
