However the root of all of this, including the frantic posturing of the Xtian ‘evangelicals’, is that religion is a dying force. Faced with this, the religion of ‘submission’ has become extremely violent but will die out none the less.
Yes, Muslims do perceive (perhaps only subconsciously) that their religion is in trouble. Islam had a pretty good run. Within just a single century after Muhammad, Islam had conquered more of the world than the Roman Empire at its height. But over time, they lost much of what they once had. Today, more and more people around the world are embracing western values, listening to western music, wearing blue jeans, etc. And yes, many (most?) Muslims want to go back to their glory days. And if Islam is like a dying animal, it must be remembered that an animal that is afraid for its life is at its most dangerous. It will take out anyone who gets in its way. Using suicide bombers would appear to be reserved for those who are losing and have nothing left to try. I would imagine this is similar to the Japanese Kamikazee pilots of WWII. They knew they were losing the war. It was their last ditch effort. But a suicidal animal or enemy is the most dangerous. Unfortunately, too many people reject the danger that radical Islam poses to the world. Some do it out of fear-based denial, some do it for political reasons, others are just too busy with their bread and circuses. But that danger is there. And once this suicidal enemy gets their hands on some nukes, that danger will be driven home to western civilization.
So will all of the other religions. What you are witnessing is not a revival of religions but their death throes.
Here, I disagree. Religion will not go away. It will change and evolve over time. But there appears to be something innate in human beings to want to believe. Granted, not everyone, but most people have this desire. That belief may manifest itself with belief in the supernatural or it may go a more logical route via a form of a secular philosophy, but since all humans from all over the world, from time immemorial have had religions, it appears to be a trait that will be around for quite some time. I even contend, with not too much tongue in cheek, that the current Obamamania sweeping the political left is a form of religion. They will deny it. But it has all the elements. Hopefully it won’t last. But new religions will spring up all the time. Most die out quickly, others take hold and last centuries. But even the centuries-old ones change eventually. They could (and perhaps have) changed enough to be classified as a whole new religion. Yes folks, transitional religions just like transitional fossils! 
If nothing else proves evolution, it is religion!
Britain should treat Islam the way a big dog treats a small dog - with amused indifference, no matter how hard it yaps. I suspect that Britain will do fine - as it has for a long time. I am not so sanguine about the USA and its current rejection of intelligence and knowledge. I have the feeling that it is circling the drain.
They should treat it that way, yes. But they don’t. They cave in and appease, appease, appease. Like Churchill said, “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last.” And that is exactly what Britain is currently doing. Had Britain taken its current attitude toward Islamic fascists towards Hitler and his fascists, they would all be speaking German today. There are, apparently, areas in Britain that are “no-go areas” for non-Muslims. Britain and many nations in Europe do not have the “melting pot” mentality that the United States has - although the U.S. is, unfortunately, moving away from that in the name of “diversity,” a dangerous place to go, in my opinion. But because the United States is a nation of immigrants, its Muslim population has not felt nearly as isolated and rejected as in other countries. In the United States, people are much more likely to integrate into the society as a whole. This is not the case in Britain. The “hyphenation” of people by their country of birth (or the continent of long-dead ancestors!), or their religion drives people apart instead of bringing them together. Such rejection and isolation is the perfect breeding ground for the “home-grown” terror that has already struck the U.K several times.
