There's alot of hype in the last couple years about Muslims bragging proudly that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.
Personally, I have no reason to believe it isn't, and could't care much less if it wasn't.
The problem is the enourmous disagreements between ranges in the numbers I've seen. The numbers are dramatically different from one source to the next. One says 1.1 billion, another says 1.6 billion, and another says "almost 2 billion". I'm sure most Muslims will support the highest number. (regardless of it's accuracy)
There doesn't seem to be any "official" number when it comes to how many Muslims there are. I do remember MANY Muslims spamming the forums with "Islam has doubled in the USA in the last generation" so I looked it up. There was a 235% increase in the number of Muslims in USA over a 50 year period. Muslims went from about 0.2% of the US population to about 0.5% today. WOW! 50 years ago 2 of 1000 were Muslim, now it's 5 of 1000!
Who counts?
