For simple reasons...
Islam is the only true religion.
Islam is the religion of peace.
Islam is the religion of total equality.
Islam is the religion of tolerance.
Islam is the religion of highest morals and ethics.
Islam is the religion which makes all people real brothers.
Islam is the religion which forces a Muslim to be kind to his neighbors and society
Islam calls for purity of families and the cleanness of all males and females before and after marriage.
Islam calls for the foundation of strong family relation which cant be broken for any reason.
Islam made "zakat"= giving to the poor, one of the pillar of Islam.
That is why Islam has been and will continue to be the largest growing religion in the world.

Yes that's true, a lot of Americans are converting to Islam, that's because they have a huge amount of open minded people, and smart brains, they don't just judge like Alex (the 1st answer).
Studies say that an average of 70 people are converting to Islam only in the USA every single day which makes it 5000 person each year as you said, Studies also say that in 2025 Islam will become the World's number one religion, Christianity will be number two.
Keep the hard work Muslims ;)

5000 people is not much in a country of 300 million. I would guess that 5000 nominal Muslims abandon their fatih but continue to use the word 'Muslim' to describe themselves.
Religious conversion in the United States is much higher than in other countries because of the mix of belief systems. People have more exposure to different alternatives. It's quite natural, and in my opinion doesn't say anything particular about Islam.
By growth rates based on percent, not sheer numbers, the fasted growing religion in the USA is without a doubt Wicca at the moment.

I'm not sure where you got these statistics, but I can say that the Islam heaven sure looks fun, as compared to the Christian heaven.
>>
Heaven
"O soul who is at rest, return to thy Lord, well-pleased with Him, well-pleasing Him. So enter among My servants, and enter My garden." (89:27-30)
Paradise (firdaws), also called "The Garden" (Janna), is a place of physical and spiritual pleasure, with lofty mansions (39:20, 29:58-59), delicious food and drink (52:22, 52:19, 38:51), and virgin companions called houris (56:17-19, 52:24-25, 76:19, 56:35-38, 37:48-49, 38:52-54, 44:51-56, 52:20-21). There are seven heavens (17:46, 23:88, 41:11, 65:12).

Islam is not the "largest growing religion" or the "fastest growing religion", in either in the United States, or the world.
In the United States, paganism's growth outpaces Islam's growth by a 1500% margin. In the world at large, Zoroastrians and Bahais are growing at a faster rate.

That's not to say that Islam is not seeing some growth, but that is mostly demographics - its people in Islamic countries making babies, in other words. Not people converting.

i wouldnt say that 5000 people in the USA with a population in the hundreds of millions would be considered growing. and who is measuring this? and how? something tells me churches and synaguagues all over the USA will still have hundreds of millions of people attending them and islam can grow to 5000 per year.

Because this religion goes from one jail to another convincing prisoners they are locked because of their old religion and their new religion Islam is the solution for their problems.
Most prisoners whom are abandoned by the society see the offer shown by Islam as their magic way to become something different from what they are like a reborn offering sometimes a new name. It's a offer of a new dream or expectations for people whom have lost all.
It seems this religion get advantage of those whom have nothing to loose so why not loose yourself by this "religion" needs?
Why is getting bigger? Because as higher as gets the jail population and the acceptance of this religions between prisoners bigger become its followers.

In Western nations, islam is fast growing because of the high birth rate. In islamic countries, muslims face a lot of barriers if they try to convert to another religion - see case in Malaysia which is happening at the moment - in some other muslim countries, they are threatened with death - see Afghanistan. Also in muslim countries it is illegal to preach another religion to a muslim...............NOT exactly a level playing field - hope this answers ur question.......why did u ask it anyway???
