From a Christian Biblical standpoint, one should consider that Jesus Christ personally prophecied that His gospel would be preached in all the world prior to His return (His second coming) at the beginning of His millennial reign as soverign ruler over all the earth.

For that kind of world-wide preaching to happen throughout the closed nations of the Muslim world, the power of their oppresive Religion-State regimes will first have to be broken and smashed in one way or another, and governments will need to be in place to permit such freedom of speech and religion. Through war, famine, pestilence, economic failure, or revolt from within (or from a combination of these or other events), the days of the closed, totalarian and brutally repressive Muslim based goverments are numbered and will definitely be brought down. Just as the atheistic Soviet State was unravelled and just as the Chinese atheistic state will also be transformed in the due time of God to permit everyone the chance to accept and follow, or to reject Jesus Christ and his path. And do not forget that Israel, our ally, also currently prohibits within its borders the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Things will change in all such regions ...

Many things in life are uncertain, but to those who believe the words of Jesus, the eventual outcome on these matters is never in doubt; Justice will prevail, and the only uncertainty for us is concerning the timing of these things, which "no man knoweth."

Personally I take comfort in the assurance that God rules and that His will shall take ultimately precedence over all else. The safest bet on earth is to bet "on" God . . .
