"The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear". Habbakuk.
The sun and moon are in positions along with bow/arrows and spear. Two words from each set of three words. You can also notice in the weaving of the two layers one word from each layer was left out. The sword, and the star.
The truth of the words is in their weaving of words into positions. They are in alignments.
Moon - Star - Sun
Spear - Sword - Bow
So then, I am not the only one...Sorry. Not seeing the point, nor does it really make any real sense.

I'm not talking about an Islamic invasion in the military sense. I'm talking about the furtherance and inevitable outcome of the massive demographic shift that is taking place.
Between the demographic concerns and the impressive difficulty of mutual understanding between Islam and other communities, I can't share your optimism.I can see your concern.
But I promise it will not happen.
Islam is declining gradually in many countries
Salam
Recently an Ayatollah or whatever rank/title they want to give themselves, was attacking prayers regarding Imam Mahdi (a) to make sure there is no disbeliever eventually on earth and no legacy or trace left by them. He said this was extreme.
وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا | And Noah said, ‘My Lord! ‘Do not leave on the land any inhabitant from among the faithless. | Nooh : 26
إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوا إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا | If You leave them, they will lead astray Your servants, and will beget none except vicious ingrates. | Nooh : 27
There are people who see this vision that the whole world become Muslim as extreme. But to me it's not extreme, it's a victory of truth and the proof. It's when the word of God and proof will prevail on earth.
It's when mankind is restored to see God's proof and witness the light. It's when it collectively in the light. At this point, mankind must do it's best to not let the story of Satan repeat. Not let anyone not prostrate to God's choice but rathe all must submit and enjoin each other to be sincere to God and his chosen.

There are and there will be bigger wars in Middle east Muslim countries.
Many of those Muslims will have to migrate to save their life.
When they will come to European and other countries as Refugees, they will gradually be dissolved in other countries, and become less and less.
You will see that process in the coming decades soon. Perhaps sooner.
You are definitely a lot more optimistic than me on this regard.
Roughly two-thirds of Iran’s mosques have closed, he said – a “worrying admission” for a state built around the principles of Islam."
This may have to do with the Iranian policy in the past that told people not to have too many kids. Now they admit it was a mistake. Back then, there was high propaganda against over-population. This maybe due to population decrease or combination of that and religiousness decreasing. I don't know.
What period is he talking about though?Population of Iran increased from 37 millions to 88 millions over the past 45 years.
I thought you know about Iran.
So, you are saying that you actually expect the Mahdi and Jesus both to present themselves in the future to humanity as whole so that literally no one disbelieves their existence and eschatological significance?I don't believe Islam will spread to all by natural means. I believe it will only happen when Imam Mahdi (a) and Isa (a) come back. Now other means and factors have to come in, but this is the missing ingredient.

That is pretty tall bet.
Usually disbelievers try to squash the truth forcefully (when it comes manifestly in terms of miracles).
If Satan can't convince disbelievers this time to do it, the truth will spread. If he convinces them to oppress believers and try to force people not to accept the Mahdi (a) and Jesus (a), God will destroy them as he destroyed many nations of the past.
