I often hear that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US and world today. Does any body has some authentic sources to support or deny it?

Yes. Islam is the fastest growing religion. But more than anything I think it has to do with the population boom taking place in majority-muslim countries. 3/5 of all people in several Muslim countries are under the age of 20... that's absolutely ridiculous. In fact, the world population is set to double by 2070 (for a variety of reasons, not just this) by some estimates. The UN does some world census stuff; you can read more there.

It became the fastest growing religion sometime in the 80's or
early 90's but Christianity has again surpassed Islam as the
fastest growing religion in the world. The terrorists may have
had something to do with this.

yep, Islam did fastest in growing its population and its still counting..Lots of Christians, Buddist, Hindus, Jews have embraced Islam and they're felt like a fresh person or like a newborn baby..My hubby and his family too converted into Islam before we got married..
I sincerely hope that the whole world will embrace Islam and the world will go much more peaceful than now...
May Allah bless everyone..

Well legally a Muslim is allowed 4 wives at a time, (that's how most mullahs' interpret their personal law) and then any guesses which is the fastest growing religion globally?

The myth about "Muslims are having more babies than Christians" really funny, here is a real test if you live in a western country:
Go to a nearest church and ask them how many Muslims or people from other have converted to Christianity in past week.
Go to a Hindu temple, ask the same question.
Go to a Muslim mosque and ask the same question.
Do the math and live happy.

Even the biased western data rate it at 3.9 per thousand yearly in comparison with 3.3 both Christianity and population growth. Islam is going to prevail as God promised, and the western countries know that and this is the reason they are trying to stop it by all means.

Yes ofcourse it is true. Even Mr. Bill Clinton had to admit it. He
said we have no danger from Islam's widespead which itself
confirms its papularity there.
But media whether CNN or BBC always have been biaced
in presenting true image of Islam, that is why an ordinary person has negative image of Islam which is way far from its true teachings.
