Does Islam encourage World Domination?

Look at where your definitions are from. It's hadith and conjecture. It's the doctrine of Arab imperialism not the Quran.
The quotes from the Quran are in my eyes just statements of fact and are unrelated to any concepts as you mention.
2264-65 is mentioning God's Mercy in the way he has made nature, the animals and minerals all capable of being utilised by humans. We do not live in a bleak environment. God has designed the earth and heavens so that they are hospitable to us. Every thing we turn ourselves to has a use for us or teaches us something about God. That is the meaning of that verse.
3126 See how the statement of fact that everything belongs to God is followed by Rich ie. free of all wants, and Praised ie.worthy of all praise. It is describing God rather than making a distinction between two separate arenas of politics on the earth.
5710 Statement of fact. Urges people to spend in the cause of God.
2258-59 This is fact disproves any claim of different arenas or an urge to war for world domination. If considered with 4100 which says
"And whoso emigrates from his country in the way of ALLAH will find in the earth an abundant place of refuge and plentifulness. And whoso goes forth from his home, emigrating in the cause of ALLAH and HIS Messenger, and death overtakes him, his reward lies on ALLAH, and ALLAH is Most Forgiving, Merciful,"
ie. if you are oppressed then God has made the earth wide enough to flee from the oppression. There are places of refuge and plentifulness. It does not encourage 'expansionism'; but it protects human rights.
2278 Yes you shall strive; and God says there is no hardship in practicing "religion"; taken in conjunction with the fact that there is no compulsion in taking this step leaves nothing to be debated.
The "doctrine" you mention is not supported by the Quran, and is a dogma of Arab imperialism.
You are against Arab imperialism not the Quran.
Peace.
the hadits is not conjecture, if you dont believe to hadits then how you pray (sholat) and wudhu (ablution)?
and if you dont believe to hadits as mentioned by juynboll as common link theory, could you please to describe where the false of ilm al mustholah al hadits?peace

That's not what Muslims believe, it seems. I have seen countless sites where it says that offensive wars are an undeniable part of Islam. http//muslim-quotes.netfirms.com/jihad.html
the wars or ghazw was legal action at that time, but if you doing now, you will againts the international law/common rules. Islam should be conceives as a rule that follows time and place and not rigid as textualist.

Salaam,
Do you think most Muslims agree with what you said?

Actually Recluse, Traditionalists developed something called 'Fiqh al-Aqalliyat' (fiqh of minorities) when they became client communities of hegemons after losing power. The fuqaha believe that when Muslims aren't in power, there's no need for 'offensive jihad' but they achieve power, it's an obligation again. A truly fascist ideology, in my opinion.

Wow... Yes, that's definately a fascist concept...

According to sunnis all of us must have become kafir by saying this. We must be killed wherever we are found.
Not all Sunnis believe in that type of behavior; in fact, most of them blatantly reject it, calling it a form of oppression. The group that believes in killing disbelievers and apostates is a small minority compared to the many Muslims worldwide who reject this ideology...

Bilal is right. Most Sunnis would never do this in practice. However, official Traditional Islam supports this. You can check any compendium of fiqh on the issue of offensive jihad.

And what about the large compendium of fiqh saying that "jihaad" (violence in particular) should only be used defensively, and it should never be used as an offensive strategy for eliminating non-Muslims? Most of the hadiyths I've read on the issue agree with the Qur'aan, as in there is NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION. This means it is against the Shariah law to forcibly convert others, or spread Islaam by the sword. Even according to the sunna, this is considered oppression, and Muslims are forbidden from doing this...

Bilal, I dont have the quotes with me, sorry but here's the sunni modus operandi vis-a-vis offensive jihad
Go to non-muslim country. Give them 3 options
- convert to islam
- pay jiyzah
- be warred against.
How is this NOT compulsion, Bilal? It's basically saying, either u do it our way or we'll do you in. It IS compulsion and it IS sunni law.
Have you heard of Sayyid Qutb? This was his political philosophy, based on the 4 imam's fatawa.

That is definately compulsion, but you're grouping all "Sunniyya" into one catagory. There are several branches of Sunni Islaam, and the Qutbites are one group, who often have extreme views on certain issues. That's not the Sunni (Shariah) law, it's the Qutbian law, and some Salafiyya feel the same way. It is NOT, however, the way of all, or even most, Sunni Muslims. In fact, most Sunnis believe in allowing people to practice their individual religions without any form of compulsion at all, which is why Sunnis have lived amongst Christians and Jews all over the world for centuries. The 4 emaams' words were taken out of context by Sayyid Qutb, which is why he is rejected by Salafis, Ahmadis, Sufis, and nearly all Sunnis (other than those who follow the Qutbian ideologies). To say that this is "Sunni law" is completely wrong...

And yet, I believe that if you went to sunniforum (or any other similar board for traditional Muslims), you would come across a lot of people who are brainwashed into believing that waging war against the disbelievers is part of Islam. At least that is my impression so far. I'm not saying all of them, but they are not just a tiny and negligible minority.

yes thats true. Some sunnis I know wants to wage war with the west. They sort of encourage that.

I disagree. I think most Sunnis believe that war should only be undertaken defensively, since this is stated in the sunna... Allah knows best...
