According to "The Almanac Book of Facts", the population increased 137% within the past decade, Christianity increased 46%, while Islam increased 235%.
In a recent poll in the (US), 100,000 people per year in America alone, are converting to Islam. For every 1 male convert to Islam, 4 females convert to Islam, Why?
It is Clear why Christians are converting.
1. Christian Scientists are declaring the Koran is from God. Visit Here for Christian and atheist Scientists who convert to Islam and why: http://wings.buffalo.edu/sa/muslim/library/jesus-say/ch13.html
2. The Christian Bishops and Priests are admitting the Bible has tensions. http://wings.buffalo.edu/sa/muslim/library/jesus-say/ch2.1.html
3. Jesus is a Muslim: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/4229/jam.html
The question still remains, why are more women converting than men to Islam ?
Perhaps they realize their Soul is worth the Factual Research.
1. The Bible Convicts Women as the original
Sinners, (ie. Eve picking from the forbidden
tree){Genesis 2:4-3:24}. The Koran Clarifies it
was Adam Not Eve {Qur'an 7:19-25}
2. The Bible says "The Birth of a Daughter is a
loss" {Ecclesiasticus 22:3}. The Qur'an says both
are an Equal Blessing { Qur'an 42:49}
3. The Bible Forbids Women from Speaking in
church {I Corinthians 14:34-35}. The Qur'an says
Women Can argue with the Prophet {58:1}
4. In the Bible, divorced Women are Labeled as
an Adulteress, while men are not {Matthew 5:31-32}. The
Koran does Not have Biblical double standards
{ Qur'an 30:21}
5. In The Bible, Widows and Sisters do Not
Inherit Any Property or Wealth, Only men
do{Numbers 27:1-11}The Koran Abolished this
male greediness { Qur'an 4:22} and God Protects
All.
6. The Bible Allows Multiple Wives{I Kings 11:3}
In The Koran, God limits the number to 4 only
under certain situations (with the Wife's
permission)and Prefers you Marry Only One
Wife{ Qur'an 4:3} The Koran gives the Woman
the Right to Choose who to Marry.
7. "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not
pledged to be married and rapes her and they are
discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty
shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he
has violated her. He can never divorce her as long
as he lives" {Deuteronomy 22:28-30}
One must ask a simple question here, who is
really punished, the man who raped the woman or
the woman who was raped? According to the
Bible, you have to spend the Rest of Your Life
with the man who Raped You.
The Prophet Muhammad Says {Volume 9, Book
86, Number 101} Narrated by Aisha:" It is
essential to have the consent of a virgin (for the
marriage)".
Would the Christian men Reading this prefer the
Women they know to Be Christian or Muslim?
8. The Bible also asks Women to wear veils as in
Islam {I Corinthians 11:3-10}, this lowers the
chance of rape, (God Forbid), see statistic link
below.
9. Women were given rights to Vote less than a
100 years ago in the (US), while the Quran (42:38) gave
Women Voting rights almost 1,500 years ago.
10. Islam has unconfined Women and has given them
the human right to reach for the sky. There have been
Muslim Women Presidents through out the centuries,
but to this date, the oppressive mentality of the
men in the Western U.S.A. has stopped any Women from becoming
Presidents in predominately Christian countries,
while the Muslim countries have voted for and
elected Female Presidents.
Here is a list of previous Female Muslim leaders:
Khadija bint Khuwaylid
Aishah bint Abu Bakr
Fatimah bint Muhammad
Barakah
Ramlah bint Abu Sufyan
Rumaysa bint Milhan
Umm Salamah
Asma bint Abu Bakr
Zaynab al-Ghazali

Great question!
Islam is growing much faster in Europe than it is in America. In Belgium and Rotterdam, Holland Mohammed is the number one name for baby boys. In America the growth of Islam is much more among young black men in prison and the like. Muslims have a very good prison outreach system here.
Why? Because people cannot exist in a spiritual vacuum. In post-Christian Europe there is no moral system linked to an eternally germaine faith--like Christianity. With the vast immigration to the EU from Northern Africa and the MIddle East, Islam comes right along to help fill that spiritual void. Especially for women. The idea of the feminist movement was that any meaningfull differences between men and women could and should be erased. Women could drink and have sex just as loosely as men could. Now, the feminists would be proud, women actually drink MORE than men in the UK and US.
And along with it all women feel (rightfully so) degraded and used by society. Slowly the realization is taking place: men and women are not at all the same. Equal, but not the same. And they see a religion in Islam that portends to value women as family-makers and unique beings. That sounds good to a whole lot of ladies.
Christianity used to be the obvious place to turn to for society's disenchanted masses. But that's no longer an option in most of Europe. So Islam steps right in. What's amazing is that it's rather wealthy and even famous European girls. In America it's poor black guys who find the whole Nation of Islam a la Louis Farakan appealing.
Islam will be the dominant religion in Europe in a couple of generations. I think that's a bad thing. I pray that the church in Europe can get the guts to stop that from happening. Otherwise this whole "War on Terror" business is much deeper than a war here and there. It can easily ignite into a veritable War of Civilizations.

Because not all women are stupid.Some women are smart enough to not believe everything the news media says.They research.Wouldn't it make more sense to believe what a person who actually follows Islam says about it,than a person who does nothing but criticize it?If Islam is such a horrible religion,why is it the largest,and fastest growing religion in the world Two sixths of the world's population is Muslim.So does that mean that 2 sixths of the world's population are terrorist?

Because...
1. Islam compared to most any religions is Simple
2. Muslims look after Muslims
3. Go into any mosque on fridays and you can see Donald Trump next to Oliver Twist--No distinctions
4. They retain alot of men while in Chiristinaity the men are the one's who stay at home "watching the big game"
5. Whenever you go into a cathedral nowadays your going into a mueseum, its old and its rustic--Islam is newer( and this is the reason why we want New cars, New clothes, New jobs)
But in all fairness to us Christians, the numbers(results) cannot accuratly portray the real numbers consering in Saudi for example under the Sharia, its ILLEGAL punishable by death to convert to another religion. Numbers and percentages cant take that out.

It is understandable that people are upset with Muslims. There is alot of confusion, but Hate won't help anyone but the terrorist. They want to divide and conquer.
"Love is the only force
capable of transforming an enemy into a friend"
Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968
Learn how a former terrorist's love for his wife set him on a journey that ultimately exposed the lies he was taught and helped the walls of hate within him crumble as love and respect for mankind finally grew in his heart.
The solution to terrorism is in his story. Walid Shoebat

We need to get his message out so other plotting terrorist have the opportunity to know that their is HOPE if they are having a change of heart and need to see that someone else who was consumed by hate is now part of the solution.

As far as women being the majority of converts - some Christian denominations still have a rather discriminatory view of women - they are still views as being secondary in the household and primarily the raisers of children. In Western culture women are also seen as sex objects, you must be sexy and have a certain look to attract men. From what I have seen in Islam women are looked as equals, and in having the dress requirements to be covered then eliminated from the whole tease and catch that really is tiresome to be honest. Especially for women that my have been abused or treated badly to start with. So if a woman is a believer in one god to start with it could be attractive.
Now it does seem like there are some regional discriminatory practices imposed on women in some fundamentalist Islamic countries.
Similar reasons are attributed to a higher number of women going to pagan religions, where a Goddess or God and Goddess are worshiped as equals.

Polygamy--beneficial for women?
In short, YES, better for the society.
Reasons are clear as the female to male ratio is more in almost all the countries, so the females are mole likely to be single than man (or in other terms used like a public property), better they get married rather than single or used as a public property.
Hence more woman are coming to Islam (the only true religion).

TWO REASONS.
First, Islam has one of the highest birth rates in the world. In Saudi Arabia, it is an average of six kids per female. Palestine is even higher. Just based upon birth rate alone, it is the "fastest growing." (That should not be taken as any kind of positive endorsement, just recognition of the birth rate.) If a woman wants to have a lot of kids, it is the faith for her as it is a rule of the faith to have many children.
Second, it is one of the easiest religions to convert INTO and one of the most dangerous to convert OUT OF.
To convert to Islam, all you have to do is say, "There is no God except Allah; M...mmmm is the Messenger of Allah." (I will not even type it correctly as someone would claim I converted.)
Try to convert out of the faith, specially in a nation that is mainly Muslim and you take your life in your hands. In some Muslim nations, you can be beheaded for converting out of the faith.
.
If a Muslim man marries a non-Muslim woman, it is required of her to convert. If a Muslim woman seeks to marry a non-Muslim man, she is at risk of losing her head. With that kind of retribution, it is no wonder that "once a Muslim, always a Muslim" seems to be the rule rather than the exception.

-- Because Islam is mainly based on common sense.
-- It has answers to EVERYTHING you wanna know the answer to. It's a simple, logical religion that DOES NOT ALLOW COMPULSION in religion, by the way. ("Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things." Quran, 2:256.) Just because some Muslims may still force others to convert doesnt make it Islamically correct.
-- The Quran is filled with scientifc discoveries that humans have made only recently, and the Quran was sent over 1400 years ago. So, people are realizing that the Quran really is the True Word of God and hence, those who know the Truth must try to live by it, in God's name.
Now, as for WOMEN, that's simple too. Women are given the MOST rights in Islam. (Read the question posted by me: "Females, do you know your (religious) rights?... Read those answers by Muslim women, and you'll know why.)
The Quran is the only Holy Book in which women have a lot of respect. Polygamy in there is limited to 4 wives (with the permission of the existing wife/wives, the condition that all wives MUST be treated equally, and many other conditions); other religions basically allow as many wives to the man as he wises.
In Islam, a woman can initiate a divorce; on her marriage contract, she gets to ask for ANYTHING she wants to (RELIGIOUSLY), tells her husband that if he decides to marry another woman while she's married to him, then they must first divorce!
-- A Muslim woman is NOT confined to household duties as she is in other religions. When a female child is born, she is considered an EQUAL blessing to her parents as a male child is.
-- She's required to be educated! Women in the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) actually ARGUED with him, and another woman has been reported to have proven one of the closest friends of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) wrong and corrected him.
-- She gets to have any kind of job she wants and can keep her earnings ALL to herself without feeling obligated to share it or spend it on her family (as is the case with men).
-- A Muslim woman can go to the Mosque all she wants. She gets more blessings when she prays at home, though, because women argued with Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that it wasn't fair that you get more blessings if you pray at the Mosque but women have to feed their kids and all, so what must they do? So, he told them that they'll get more blessings when at home!!
-- It's NOT true that a Muslim man can marry non-Muslim women but a Muslim woman can't marry non-Muslim men!!! In the Quran, God says not to marry non-believers! Then He considers anyone who believes God has a son a non-believer, so that means Muslims can't marry non-Muslims!
Proof? Here:
"The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!" (Quran, 9:30). So, because God considers them UNBELIEVERS, we can't marry them. And, of course, polytheists are also considered disbelievers/unbeleivers..... HENCE, MUSLIMS CANNOT MARRY NON-MUSLIMS!!! Get that silly mosconception out of your head!!!
Look, I can go ON AND ON about women's rights in Islam. Go to ANY Islamic website and you'll know why women choose Islam as their number 1 choice of religion.
Remember: Truth is Truth; when you know it's there, how can you deny it? :D!
Peace and blessings to all!
