Why are some of you people assuming that the asker is forcing you to convert or something. All he/she is saying is how many of you know. The thing about the forced conversions, that has nothing to do with Islam but more to do with people thinking they have the right to decide what other people do. In Islam forced conversions are not allowed. For those of you who have read the Quran, whether your muslim or not, you will know that the Quran supports the idea of Live And Let Live.

Islam is the fastest growing religion because Muslims are having more children at a faster pace than westerners. As to whether or not it will become the only religion, who knows. But those who believe in the Bible know that in the Book of St John (1 John 2: 22-24) it says "Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the anti-christ who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either: He who acknowledges the Son has the Father also." Since Islam vehemently denies Christ's Sonship, and since the quran calls Christian's deluded and misguided and condemns for our beliefs and faith in Christ's Sonship and Divinity, and since the Book of Revelation talks about the coming of the antichrist, there do seem to be many parallels with what may be the beginning of the end times. But then again who knows. The Apostles of 2000 years ago also thought the end times were back then. I guess we just have to be prepared.

Only religion on earth? I dont think so.
a) Contrary to what you believe religion is not and never has been what makes the world go round. Its capitalism. Which is practiced the world over and isn't going away no matter how many down trodden souls tie themselves to Islam because its message appeals so much to those who are jealous of people more powerful than they. Capitalism, for all its faults, is far closer tied to the fundamental nature of man than any religion will ever be so whether you like it or not, you're stuck with it. Man has always tried to get a better cave, better food, warmer clothes, smarter weapons. In terms of how long we've been on the earth, religion is a relatively new thing to try and change man's nature and in that goal, it has failed miserably.
b) How many influential Islamists actually practice what they preach. Read up on the Saudi royal family and the prominent members of most Middle Eastern countries. They're no better than the rich and powerful of any other country. In fact they're worse because they let people like you believe that they're doing it all for Mohammed.
c) Osama (whose ludicrous actions I appreciate are condoned by only a tiny minority of Muslims) is only doing what he does in the belief that the Middle Eastern caliphate will be restored and he'll be the man with the keys to the palace. He's after the power and the status just like the billionaire father who bred him.
I've no problem with your or anyone else's religion and have read the Koran which as works of fiction go is not a bad read. Some of the messages it contains are good ideas on how to live your life. You could say the same thing about about Harry Potter.

I knew that Islam was growing fast and i also know that Christianity is losing members fast.
An interesting fact about Isalm and Christianity is that the two religions actually venerate the same people, Moses, Jesus among others,and that both religions may be based on an offshoot of Judaism.
Look at the chart on this site:

Islam may be fast growing but will never be the only religion on Earth because it's false.
There are around 2 billion Christians in the world.

Religion is the stupidest idea ever created, it has caused more death and hatred than anything else, the first step to a genuine world peace is the abolition of worthless religion, and a little more common sense. If you want faith, have faith in yourself and your loved ones, and not some magic bloke in the bloody sky that dosent exist.

Hi Seema Yaseema
Could you please refrain from asking such questions? I am a Muslim too and would not like boasting around with such statements, which ultimately earning bad replies and degrading the Image of Islam. Sorry for being hard, but considering your venture into religious questions thought of cautioning you to be more modest in dealing with personal beliefs.

Great! Now we'll never get into Alton Towers, seeing as it has been booked out on the 17th of September exclusively for Muslims - Because they must not be able to have a good time there when they have to share it with the rest of us!!

No wonder since Islam forces people to convert in many countries... and forbids people from CHOOSING to convert to OTHER religions once they become Muslim...
What a shock.
How many of you know that people with guns to their heads will do pretty much whatever you tell them to?......
