The goal of Islam is a world living under Islam. Period. Who and what stands in their way? The US and her proxies -- Europe and Israel.
She neglected to include other nations who would offer resistance, such as China, India, Russia and Japan. In short, the vast majority of the world's power is against radical Islam. Geller doesn't want to admit this because the wingnuts rely on fear and hysteria to convince the groundlings.

Europeans,at least the healthy ones, with their justifiably negative view of US Mideast policy, however, would stand aghast especially at having an American hyper-Zionist characterize them as proxies.
Although it has been the Empire's intent since WW2 ended.
On a related subject, the spinning liar AJ Strata bragging about the Iraqi election today.

The bitter truth arrogant and ignorant imperialists like Strata cannot face:

BAGHDAD — Voter turnout in Iraq's provincial elections Saturday was the lowest in the nation's short history as a new democracy despite a relative calm across the nation. Only about 7.5 million of more than 14 million registered voters went to the polls.
Interviews suggest that the low voter turnout also is an indication of Iraqi disenchantment with a democracy that, so far, has brought them very little.
Since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 and the fall of a brutal dictator, Iraqis witnessed unprecedented violence in their nation and what they believe is humiliation under a foreign occupation. Even on Saturday, U.S. tanks could be spotted across Baghdad on largely empty roads.
Following elections in 2005 Iraq spiraled into a sectarian war. People cowered in their homes while others literally killed each other in the streets. Many here feel the people they elected were party to or were at least complicit in the violence. The security forces too were feared as sectarian death squads and Iraqis also believed that American raids or passing U.S. tanks sometimes resulted in innocent civilian deaths.
Many blame the U.S. presence in Iraq for sowing the seeds of sectarianism by bringing back exiles to rule them.
Beyond the disillusionment, thousands of potential voters were unable to cast ballots Saturday because official voter lists did not contain their names. Street protests resulted.
"I didn't participate in this election because I don't trust any list," Yasir Baqir, 28, said on Saturday in Fallujah. "Like any election, we read and see many promises but nothing real (happens) and there is still a crisis, a security crisis, an economic and a services crisis."
Saturday's turnout of about 51 percent was well below the 76 percent turnout who cast ballots in national elections in December 2005 and even below 57 percent who voted for provincial councils and their national assembly in January 2005. On Election Day in January 2005, 44 people were killed. Saturday one person was reported killed in non-election related violence.
There's more. At least eight candidates were assassinated in the week preceding the election. I suppose if one would extrapolate that number to the size of a hypothetical American election, one would get another graphic picture of the very un-democratic circumstances prevailing in Iraq.
