Do you find it strange that with all the distortion of Islam image,it is still the fastest growing religion?

Question

terrorism propaganda,sarcastic cartoon,..etc

Answer 1

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
Maryum Jameelah

Answer 2

It is not strange at all since the basic believe of Islam is very easy very simple to embrace the faith of no God but Allah. the thing that is so strange for me when any body hear this and still waiting and not become a Muslim. Two things play a Major role in making the Truth looks like evil:
1-Some Muslims who give very bad example of Islam (they know almost nothing about the soul of the Islamic faith)
2- Rumors spread by the enemies of Islam, the soldiers of Satan.

Answer 3

Its due to the geographical factors! The advent of Islam started in the middle east and there were no boundaries restrictin the areas so ppl could freely spread the religion Noreovercatholics were growing more corrupt during those days,zorastranism was in its decline and Hinduism was limited only to southern asia Hence islam spread quickly

Prophet Mohammed PBUH "Mohammed is the most successful of all Prophets and religious personalities. " Encyclopedia Britannica (Fact)

"There are more Muslims in North America then Jews Now." (Fact)

"The founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Mohammed. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he? " Lamartine, Historie de la Turquie, Paris 1854, Vol. 11 pp. 276-2727

Professor Yushudi Kusan: Director of the Tokyo Observatory, "I can say, I am very mush impressed by finding true astronomical facts in the Qur’aan."

Answer 5

I think that this is an example of two aspects of Western culture.
1. All publicity is good publicity. Before 9/11, Islam was just another one of those strange foreign religions that had a very small presence in America. Then everybody knew what it was (to some extent).

2. People think it is cool to be different and rebel (not that there is anything wrong with Islam) but some people just like to tick of their parents by converting to a different religion. This is not what people should base beliefs on but it happens.

3. Perhaps some of the people in terrorist controlled areas have converted to Islam for various reasons, another sad but very plausible truth about how people base their faith on the wrong things. They should convert because they believe in God and the Quran, not because of anything else.

Answer 6

It's one OF the fastest growing religions.. but honestly, statistics and polls are so biased. There's no way to get a good sampling and honest numbers.
I think those who do convert take the time to learn more about it, and find that it's the right path for them.. nothing more, nothing less.

Answer 7

2 geoffrey:
don't waste ur time on this & by the way wats the proof dat these statement r true watever.Definetly u hav get these from sites or may be media.which i wil not believe
2 eastern:-
by the way do u hav proof that islam is growing b/c people r forced 2 be muslim or die.In islam it is not allow 2 force some1 2 be muslim.1st try 2 know about islam and then give statements

Answer 8

Despite popular misinformation, many Jews and Christians live in Islamic states. Did you know, 40,000 Jews live in Iran? Large Christian communties are scattered throughout the mideast living along side from the time Islam was started. This flies in the face of the anti-Islam claims that Islam is out to destroy other religions.

I think Islam spreads better in poor countries because it hasn't become as modernized and liberalized, and thus more compatible with primitve native customs, cultures and situation. Christian missionaries are usually from liberal nations or trained in liberal nations. Jesus as a son of god, killed by men, is a more complex concept to accept, compared to Islam prophets and teachers. Islam's emphasis tough justice and security in this world sells better than Christianity's turn the other cheek, and wait for justice in the next world, for people whose greatest need is stability and security.

Answer 9

Its Some sort of Weird Inverse Media Law.
Like if a Critic Hates a Film, thats a Guarantee, just about, that it will either make top ten, or in REAL severe film Hatred do a Number One Run.
Its strange how the media can have this inverse effect.... Water into Whine too !!

Answer 10

It's really difficult to say with certainty what is the fastest growing religion. However I think Islam's growth has more to do with the fertility rate of certain countries that have Muslim populations than anything intrinsic to the religion itself.

Whether or not it's distorted etc.

Answer 11

Praise be to Allah.

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

" It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion: and enough is Allah for a Witness. "
[Al-Fath 48:28]

" - The Unbelievers spend their wealth to hinder (man) from the path of Allah, and so will they continue to spend; but in the end they will have (only) regrets and sighs; at length they will be overcome: and the Unbelievers will be gathered together to Hell;-

- In order that Allah may separate the impure from the pure, put the impure, one on another, heap them together, and cast them into Hell. They will be the ones to have lost. "
[Al-Anfal 8:36&37]

" Fain would they extinguish Allah's light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His light should be perfected, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it). "
[Al-Tawba 9:32]
