Estimates of the total number of Muslims in the world vary greatly:
bullet0.700 billion or more, Barnes & Noble Encyclopedia 1993
bullet0.817 billion, The Universal Almanac (1996)
bullet0.951 billion, The Cambridge Factfinder (1993)
bullet1.100 billion, The World Almanac (1997)
bullet1.200 billion, CAIR (Council on American-Islamic relations)

At a level of 1.2 billion, they represent about 22% of the world's population. They are the second largest religion in the world. Only Christianity is larger, with 33% of the world's inhabitants.

Islam is growing about 2.9% per year. This is faster than the total world population which increases about 2.3% annually. It is thus attracting a progressively larger percentage of the world's population.

Islam is growing real fast and it looks like it will prevail over all religions!
8:8 "That He might justify Truth and prove Falsehood false, distasteful though it be to those in guilt."

i do no longer think of that Obama is making an attempt to alter into president to take over or to permit different worldwide places invade. it particularly is merely my own opinion, yet I consider you in no longer paticularly liking any of the techniques. i do no longer inevitably think of we are in a non secular conflict. i think of we are in a conflict with human beings whom the government believes if we kill sufficient of will by some potential magically stop hating us. i think of it particularly is impossible, and that our superb offense is a sturdy protection. My own perception is that our government, and maximum fairly our cutting-edge president, is making an attempt to create a financial/political benefit in this conflict, and none of it particularly is happening. as far as a non secular conflict, i think of we are far previous that being proclaimed. In those circumstances, i've got confidence the government.would be far too afraid to lose help by claiming a relgious conflict for the reason that so few human beings have that solid of a perception. in the event that they suggested they have been attacking a non secular team, because of the fact of religion, that they had have extensive issues, so no i think of the government.will ward off pointing out that for the period of any respect fees.

you are going to be surprised at what might end up as the largest world religion in the near future. It won't be Islam because Islam will have self-destructed by then. It will be something you least expect and loathe. It has already made its appearance and is rapidly gaining adherents from all the world's religious.

Questions like these drive chill to my bones. i want to live long.

Because there is the hunger for competition, there is also bound to be the hunger for increament by elimination. Is it happening so or is it yet to happen? OPEN YOUR EYES AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.

3+3=6 and 5+5=10 and 2+2=4
but because of hunger for competition in population the 3+3 =6 (number 6) does some cheating and eliminates 6 out of 10 and 2 out of four. Now tell me which one will be more. I do not like this competition of population. It makes things worse and is truely not of the true God. (is it that 3+3 increased or others reduced? i dont know...)

In the end, a sect will surely outnumber others, i dont know which one. But woe to members of that sect because it is not of God. They will have physical marks to recognise each other just by looking at them, they will only love themselves and hate those not of that sect, they will buy from each other, and will love politics so much and imbibe it into religion, they will kill those who do not belong to their sect, they will want to rule the earth e.t.c

I truely dont know which religion it is or if it is a religion or not but OPEN YOUR EYES and Lets pray we get raptured before the BEAST and his cohorts rule.

not a chance. Although Muslim population is getting bigger almost all of them have no idea what is the Koran at all. Government in Muslim country are indirectly forcing their community to embrace Islam in a very manipulative way so that the could enjoy special privileges. In Muslim country a Muslim cannot renounce from Islam and in some country it could lead to death. And yet in a Christian country we have they have absolute no restriction to convert to thee religion, it's individual free will. In Somalia, and etc the terrorist are forcing the community to embrace Islam or else they will be shot to dead . That is the reason why Islam is growing right now are you proud of that

That is only a Myth, you're in fantasyland, and the Jinns have muslims mesmerized!

http://www.bible.ca/islam/islam-myths-fastest-growing.htm


The Bible tells of those people,(muslims), that follow the teachings of false prophets and "Child Molesters", like Muhammed, are going to go through a wide gate along with all unbelievers!

Matthew 7:13-14
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Also, those that will "Not" enter through the narrow gate into the Kingdom of Heaven are those men that do the "POKI -POKI" with each other!

I'm sure you're familiar with this scripture!

Romans 1:26-28
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

Islam is gonna fall just like all other religions. In every modern country religion is declining. Education goes up religion goes down. Even if Islam becomes the largest religion in the world it will probably not be the same islam it will change into something else just like Christianity has. You know how people dont speak the same way in modern times as they did in ancient times. Same thing with religion it keeps changing. Why people adjust the rules to suite them. There for all religions are false.

GOT IT?????

You seem to have gotten your numbers wrong, as the world population is about 6 - 7 billion people, you say there are 700 billion muslims?

whether you're looking at it from a purely logical or purely religious POV it is likely that Islam will be the largest world religion in the near future

The Messengers of the One True God don't come to count numbers in separated camps.
They come to inculcate selfless love in all hearts, regardless of names or labels.
