For all of those who are too ignorant to do research, ISLAM is the fastest growing faith in the world and the United States. Quoting stuff from Christian websites of course are going to be biased because they do not want to lose their foothold on society. WEll, that is changing. Islam IS the fastest growing faith and it WILL surpass christianity. Christians just need to realize they are losing now and Christianity is NOT the fastest growing faith. Get over it!

P.S-We all know just because someone claims to be a christian doesnt mean they are a TRUE one, so that takes me back...How many CHRISTIANS are there? REAL ones. Not a lot, I assure you.

I don 't buy your "evidence" about Islam. It's like asking a Mormon is they are members of the only true church... I see your ideas that there are no true christians as plain silly... All that means to me is you don't know what a christian is. ... Jim

I agree with you that Islam is a growing religion and rightfully so. It has many wonderful precepts and a peaceful ideology. However, in the spirit of saying that, I'd like to suggest that you not see the increasing popularity of Islam as a commentary for a speed race between relegions.
The Qur'an in its passages acknowledges that the God of the Christians and the Muslims and the Hebrews is the same and that each religious path is accepted in the eyes of Allah.
To say that "...Christians just need to realize they are losing now..." is a competitive statement that can only incite receprocating hostility and I don't believe such a comment is in the benevolent spirit of Islam.
You ask "...How many real Christians are there? ... not a lot..." But the same can be asked on a daily basis for any followers of any religion.

I trust you that Islam is a starting to be faith and rightfully so. It has many impressive precepts and a non violent ideology. besides the indisputable fact that, interior the spirit of asserting that, i might choose to indicate which you no longer see the increasing acceptance of Islam as a assertion for a velocity race between relegions. The Qur'an in its passages recognizes that the God of the Christians and the Muslims and the Hebrews is an identical and that each and each religious course is regular interior the eyes of Allah. to declare that "...Christians in simple terms might desire to attain they are dropping now..." is a aggressive assertion which could in basic terms incite receprocating hostility and that i've got not got self assurance this form of remark is interior the benevolent spirit of Islam. You ask "...what number genuine Christians are there? ... no longer lots..." however a similar could be asked on a each and every day foundation for any followers of any faith.

I am a "Real" (as you call it) Christian.
You might say the Islam is the fastest growing faith now, but think about it. Christians are using evangelization (spreading of the church and God's word) to other countries that do not know him. Islam may surpass Christianity, but only because by their country's government is corrupted without freedom of religion, and forcing them to worship Islam's god, or die. And many choose to worship Islam's god for the fear of death, because they do not want their families to suffer.
How many "Real" Christians are there? There are a lot.
If you are not sure who is a Christian, just follow the basic conversation to see:
Person 1: What did you do this weekend?
Person 2:
Person 1 remains silent.
Person 2: What did you do this weekend?
Person 1: On saturday, I went hiking and biking. Sunday was more relaxing; I went to church, and afterwards, I had a BBQ with some friends.
If Person 2 says: Oh, that's nice, and switches to another topic, chances are they aren't. If Person 2 says: Oh, what church do you go to? I go to

How many REAL Christians are there...oh quite a lot actually!! These days, saying that you're Christian has become like saying what your race is!! SO what the heck is your point then?? Religion isn't about competition...it's not about seeing whose religion is gonna be the fastest growing or has the most!! It's not about quantity, it's about HOW much LOVE there is!!

The Voice of the Martyrs
On October 2nd at 2:30 p.m., Lorans Wageah Emeel, a 15-year-old Christian girl, was kidnapped by Muslims in the Egyptian city of El Mahala Al Kobra, about 60 miles north of Cairo. The incident was publicized by El Tareek, the only Arabic Christian newspaper in the Middle East. It is reported that the abductors are trying to force Lorans, a student of Saida Nafesa High School in El Mahalla Al Kobra, to deny Christ and accept Islam.
At approximately 10:30 a.m. Cairo time, on October 3rd, the Emeel family gathered around the El Mahala Al Kobra police station, pleading with the officers to return Lorans to them. Her parents accused a Muslim man of kidnapping their daughter at 2:30 in the afternoon and filed a police report at the station.
Under the cover of night at 10:00 on October 3rd, kidnapped Christian teenager, Lorans, managed to escape from her Muslim captors, who drugged and threatened to rape her if she refused Islam, before abducting her from a public bus, according to Compass Direct. While the terrorists were taking a break from a Ramadan fast, Lorans broke out of her detention room located in Helwan, a suburb just south of Cairo. It is also reported that Lorans’ father received the following text messages during the abduction: “The girl is not accepting easily, but she will embrace Islam for sure,” and “Take the rest of your daughters and leave the city, or you will lose them one by one.” Prior to reuniting with her family, State Security Investigation officials told Lorans that if she did not deny the kidnapping, she would never see her parents again.
The kidnapping of Christian teenage girls in Muslim nations has reached into the thousands. Many are forced through physical violence to convert to Islam. Other girls are often lured into becoming Muslims with promises of material wealth. The Voice of the Martyrs sponsors safe houses in Islamic countries to protect Christian teenage girls who have been threatened with or have escaped from abduction. These Christian refuges are also places where young women learn job skills and receive spiritual training.
----------------------------------------------------------
It is a good thing that Islam is a religion of peace. I would not want to see it if it were of hate.
This is more proof, if there is any needed, to show that Islam is not of the one and only true God. The God of love through His Son Jesus Christ.
There are many people in the United States that are turning to the Islam faith. This is the work of the devil himself. The devil will do anything to pull people away from true salvation of Jesus Christ.
Being politically correct is not always in our best interest. We need to say it like it is.
If Islam is trully a religion of peace, where is the peace?
I do not want the response, well these are extreme muslims. With our faith in Christ we have many, many different organizations. Yes, and some called extreme. But what we do not have is the violence, the killing, the kidnappings, the beheadings, on, and on, and on. Without regard for any human life at all. Men, Women, children, old, young, cripled, it does not matter to them.
Muslims even use human shields by putting their rockets and militia in and around homes of suvilians.
Any one that has a lick of sense can see through the peaceable religion part.
I call for all Muslims to turn to Jesus Christ and become saved through Him so that they may obtain everlasting life without having to kill themselves.
Turn to peace and love for others no matter who they might be. It is the only way.
Try it you'll like it, you'll love it!

Islamic borrowings from Judaism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism – and Muhammad's enraged replies to charges that he borrowed material rather than received actual divine revelations
The "revelation" that allowed Muhammad to marry his beautiful daughter-in-law
The strange incident in Muhammad's life that makes it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries today

The first year of the Muslim calendar: not when Muhammad was born or became a prophet, but when he became a warlord

"Kill every Jew who comes into your power": why Muhammad became so angry with both Jews and Christians – with disastrous consequences that are still playing out in the world today

Muhammad's commands to his followers to wage perpetual war against non-Muslims, including Jews and Christians
Muhammad on women's rights: women "are prisoners with you having no control of their persons"
"If justice is not to be found with me then where will you find it?" Why Muhammad still stands for Muslims as the supreme model for human behavior
"I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, and will not leave any but Muslims" – and other statements by Muhammad that contemporary jihadists take very seriously
Islamic tolerance? The onerous tax burden and other discriminatory regulations mandated for non-Muslims under Islamic law
How Muhammad ordered the killing of apostates from Islam
The massacre of a Jewish tribe by Muhammad that was invoked by modern-day jihadists at the beginning of Israel's July 2006 operations against Hizballah in Lebanon
