Answer 1

Sequoyah (sĭkwoi'ə) , c.1766–1843, Native North American leader, creator of the Cherokee syllabary, b. Loudon co., Tenn. Although many historians believe that he was the son of a Cherokee woman and a white trader named Nathaniel Gist, his descendants dispute this claim. To most Americans he was known as George Guess; to the Cherokee he was known as Sogwali. The name Sequoyah was given to him by missionaries. A silversmith and a trader in the Cherokee country in Georgia, he set out to create a system for reducing the Cherokee language to writing, and he compiled a table of 85 characters; he took some letters from an English spelling book and by inversion, modification, and invention adopted the symbols to Cherokee sounds. There is some dispute as to when the syllabary was completed. Many historians date its completion at about 1821; Cherokee tradition holds that it was created much earlier and was actually in use as early as the late 18th cent. In 1822, Sequoyah visited the Cherokee in Arkansas, and soon he taught thousands of the Native Americans to read and write. He moved with them to present-day Oklahoma. Parts of the Bible were soon printed in Cherokee, and in 1828 a weekly newspaper was begun. His remarkable achievement helped to unite the Cherokee and make them leaders among other Native Americans. The giant tree, sequoia, is named for him.

Pardon my ignorance, Who is Sequoyah?

Answer 3

That is NOT surprising. Christians go to the third world, as aid workers, and peace makers to convert people. Today, the WORLD is different. Muslims' convert tactics works more effective, because they don't go to door to door, or pose as an aid worker to convert people. People themselves read and realize that ISLAM/MUSLIMS are the ONLY people that don't come up to you and preach to you accept it. People usually choose and accept things that people don't force or tell about them. For the all the new Muslims, they just picked the Koran, and became Muslims.

I would doubt its any meaningful trend though.
