I studied Islam and Christian "sociology/psychology" at uni as part of my degree, but I'm afraid of boring you to tears. As far as their onslaught, I'm not sure if we Pagans will be first against the wall or if we'll "inherit the earth" (leaving plenty of room for others who survive, because due to our own past mistakes we're pantheists: there's room enough for everyone.
Besides, it seems that religion is cyclical. We seeing the adoption of religions that were thought to have died out 2000 years ago. The number of Christians is actually dropping. The rise of secular notions, due to the Enlightenment on up to this bullshit has been one of the major factors. Also a lot more is behind the scenes of these wars than religion. I think that religion, in many ways, is a red herring. I'm with cheebs (I think we're setting a record here;) :D ). I'm worried about the environment. Certainly, after human beings have obliterated themselves, Earth will begin to revive. (Shit, look at global change from 4-6 billion years ago). However, I am quite attached to the animals and plants that we have now. I consider them family. We are becoming more and more globally aware and yet more and more thoughtless. Take Darfur for instance, we know what's happening, and relatively very few people are doing anything about it.

It's only going to get worse. I'm looking forward to the oil crash.

"Git" a popular word in the middle east? :)
This year has been a huge kick in the balls. Managed to make it through unemployment, while having a brand new baby (she was 3 months old when i got canned), during said unemployment, we had to evacuate our house because it might get washed away in a flood, and during that time, my family showed their true colors and i have more or less disowned them. I got the best job of my life at the end of it all, but it forces me to drive 90 minutes one way (on an average day, never mind bad weather) and when certain family memebers found out how much money i was making, suddenly their hands came out. Yay.
