In an era marked by shifting global dynamics and evolving religious landscapes, the prominence of Islam as a faith and its potential role in shaping humanity’s trajectory cannot be overlooked. While acknowledging the author’s Catholic background, this article presents a thought-provoking perspective on the future, where Islam emerges not only as the predominant faith but also as a solution for the challenges facing humanity. Delving into discussions about religion, politics, and societal values, the article seeks to cast a vision that embraces the possibility of Islam’s transformative influence. However, it is crucial to note that the author’s intention is not to endorse or criticize any specific faith but rather to spark an open dialogue on the subject. By examining the current global context and trends, this article invites readers to explore the potential impact of Islam in shaping our collective future. Here I have presented his speech in his words. Embedded the video link below.

Islam taking over!! Fastest Growing Religion — YouTube

My name is Marvin Delwari. I’m actually a Catholic by definition, which makes me a Christian. But I am here to tell you and deliver a message, to cast a vision about the future.

What that future looks like is a future where Islam is going to become not only the predominant faith but, in many ways, the solution to humanity. For all my Muslim friends and some of the people that I’m very close to, I don’t want you to think that this is an endorsement of the Muslim faith. It’s just something that appears to be so self-evident that I think some of us have to have a conversation in that direction.

I think that the way we are tilting right now, the way humanity is developing from politics to economy to many delicate issues that deal with what it means to be a decent member of society, at some point, is going to require a very strong correction. It’s not going to be the Orthodoxy of the Jewish faith, nor the level of tolerance that comes from Hinduism, Buddhism, or Taoism. It’s definitely not going to be through the sometimes false mercy or incredible acceptance levels that come from the Christian faith. Painful to say that, but it should be a situation where love and kindness should always be the predominant factor to give direction.

But that’s not necessarily the case. In some cases, you need something, a way of doing things that would be strong enough, forceful enough, to the extent of actually forcing the correction. And this is one of those moments where, as people, we are getting to the point where certain levels of correction are needed. I think that Islam today is positioning itself as a faith that is willing to fight for what they believe. They’re going to stand their ground, make arguments, and fight for it. Some of these force corrections that are needed are going to have to come from a centralized way of thinking. They’re going to have to come from deeply rooted values that go beyond just reasonable concepts about right or wrong. It’s going to have to be connected to something that is obviously close to the Divine or Divine principles if you want to embrace it from that perspective.

A lot of people will potentially get alarmed about what I’m saying right now, but I do want you to be invited to look into it as a potential reality for our near future. Islam is a faith that is growing aggressively and is about to become the largest faith in the globe. I think that the way they are doing it is being done unapologetically, with a very clear position about where they stand on everything: relationship with God, relationship with family, relationship with other people, relationship with what is right and wrong. The position is so clear, so strong, so deeply rooted, and willing to force changes, which, at some point, is absolutely needed. That will be the only reason why they are going to be the only faith that has the ability to continue to grow at that rate aggressively. And therefore, they will be the ones that are going to control the narrative of morality, that are going to control the narrative of how civics should function, and that are going to control the narrative of politics and economy.

At some point, especially for the many people who opened the door for this to become a reality in the United States, this will be one of those “I told you so” types of moments. It’s going to be one of those “be careful what you wish for” type

of moments. Hopefully, what we are going to experience is the most tolerant, open, engaging, and exceptional version of Islam and not the extreme version of it. Because if you think you’re seeing some extreme Christians, then you have an incredible surprise coming your way.

At the end of the day, what I do hope to see is something or someone willing to fight to make certain corrections before we really go astray in so many other things. I look at the history of religion, and I think that Christianity, many years ago, was able to get past its dark ages. Unfortunately, Islam is not quite out of it in many areas of the planet. I think that we are going to experience some of that here.

I just wanted to make this little video, especially for two specific reasons. First, it is self-evident for me. I was thinking about this, having a conversation with some very interesting people, and we asked the question, “What do you think the future of religion is going to look like?” It doesn’t appear to be the strength of the Catholic Church is there. It looks like it’s fragmenting more and more by the minute. It doesn’t look like the Orthodox side of Christianity is going to have the capability to grow and keep together a message at the level that the Catholic Church has. The numbers, the difference between one group and the other, is overwhelming. Even though I have some Orthodox friends that believe they are the largest group, the fact of the matter is that it’s 1.1 billion Catholics to 1.2 billion Catholics, and then everybody else. I don’t think it’s going to be the Protestant churches either because there is really no clear centralized position, as much as the Protestant Church has made an effort to bring these things together. So, based on history and the reality of both religions, I come to that conclusion and I wanted to highlight it from that perspective.

The second thing is, as I said before, there were reasons even for my Muslim friends. I say this with a great deal of respect. A lot of these relationships or invitations were created not so much to support what Islam stands for. As a matter of fact, I promise you, my Muslim brothers and sisters, that what you are going to experience is going to be the same level of dislike and maybe even hate that some people are having against Christianity right now, just because they really don’t like religion or embrace anything connected to God. So, you will be the next one to experience that as of this moment, and I know that some of you already are. But that is connected to the reality that it was never a process that was opening the door to say, “Here’s a new good religion that’s going to take us to God,” as much as it was, “Here’s a religion that is going to contrast and weaken.”

In the end, I hope for a future where someone or something is willing to fight to make necessary corrections before we further deviate.
