You could argue 2) is true in the sense of countries like present-day Iran and Saudi Arabia. But neither of these countries has shown any interest in exporting their own brand of theocracy.

Also a distinction should be made between fucked up governments and the religion they've hijacked to provide themselves with legitimacy. Historically, Islam has been a much more tolerant religion than Christianity, and much less inclined to subjugation. Two examples are the Arab conquest of Persia and the Ottoman conquests of N. Africa, the Mid East, and the Balkans. In both cases the conquered peoples were allowed to keep their religion, culture and language.
Western education has let us down.

It is verified that Islam has encroached and eradicated. It has been steady and effective. A less proximate cause for why Islam does this is because it is the way of Muhammad. Muhammad abrogated every other element of Islam, and he spread his message as a warlord. "Moderate Islam" is half in this world and half out of it. It is still mostly sharia, but with some small not-fully-Muhammad elements. Note that the Islamic reformation is ISIS. Even the tiny degree of secularization to some small areas of Islam across the globe is apostasy to the way of Muhammad. As all religious reformations do, they go back to the scriptures. ISIS is scriptural Islam.

Islam was created with the purpose of destroying Christianity and western culture. Perhaps a good way of going over the head of the propaganda education we've all received is to look at how and why Islam spread and what has become of those regions. It successfully destroyed the origin regions of Christianity (and western values) and turned them into >98% Islam. ISIS is trying to follow Muhammad by turning them into 100% sharia instead. Everywhere that Islam goes, it becomes wholly Islam.

There's much more but I'll stop here.
