The Phenomenal Growth of Islam
At the end of this chapter, it may be appropriate to point out an important indication of the truth of Islam. It is well known that in the USA and the whole world, Islam is the fastest-growing religion. The following are some observations on this phenomenon:


n “Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America, a guide and pillar of stability for many of our people...” (Hillary Rodham Clinton, Los Angeles Times).1

n “Moslems are the world’s fastest-growing group...” (The Population Reference Bureau, USA Today).2

n “....Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the country.” (Geraldine Baum; Newsday Religion Writer, Newsday).3

n “Islam, the fastest-growing religion in the United States...” (Ari L. Goldman, New York Times).4

This phenomenon indicates that Islam is truly a religion from God. It is unreasonable to think that so many Americans and people from different countries have converted to Islam without careful consideration and deep contemplation before concluding that Islam is true. These converts have come from different countries, classes, races, and walks of life. They include scientists, professors, philosophers, journalists, politicians, actors, and athletes. (To read the stories of people who have converted to Islam, please visit the links at Stories of New Muslims.http://www.islam-guide.com/more/#New-Muslims-Stories)

The points mentioned in this chapter constitute only some of the evidence supporting the belief that the Quran is the literal word of God, that Muhammad is truly a prophet sent by God, and that Islam is truly a religion from God.

Islam has not grown even beyond the scripture from day one, the population has grown leaps and bound in all over the world. reasons vary from place to place . like,
The fastest growing population of the world is in pakistan and nigeria.
The greatest number of illiterate people are in the islamic states.
most of the conflicting countries or instable countries are those with some amount of islamic population.
THe biggest buddha statue of the world in afghanistan was destroyed in a few days by Islamic militants.
Iraq-the so called birth place of islamic values is still in turmoil with brothers killing brothers in the name of shias and sunnis.
Sudan has an insurgency situation because of the DARFUR crisis where jenjaweeds arab militias are causing havoc in normal life with the largest genocide and refugees of this century.
All these shows where islamic people are heading to and how they tarnish a beautiful religion.
I have read the holy Kuran but nowhere find a reason for the advocacy of these heinous crimes . infact no religion preaches violence.
dear friend faith should lead to peaceful co existance and the better future of all the creature. Lets pray that our future generation atleast has a peaceful life in all religion
The wise men in Islam need to take charge and help save the changing image of the moslem community in the eyes of the world.

remember that G-D has a purpose for everything he does. There is a reason that Islam is spreading; perhaps it has a role to accomplish in the future. Another thing is that people who are Muslim cannot, for the most part, convert to a new religion while non-muslims are discrminated against in Shar'ia countries; even Malaysia the secular muslim country. who knows? to each the religion that they find most true. Islam may well be true.

Average out the population growth of Muslim countries and countries with large Muslim ethnic minorities. Whatever that population boom is, there's your number.

Birth rates. That's what that's all about.

As to claims about 235% increase rates, I'm quite skeptical about statistically vague and unsupported claims like these. One need only look at Africa, where evangelical and Catholic forms of Christianity are making huge inroads at Islam's expense to wonder about some of that. The last two Popes have been boasting about the fervour in Africa being such that that continent will be a springboard for the re-evangelization of Europe. Islam is losing Africa to Christianity at a torrid pace.

May be , because people who tke to the religion do not know the real colour of he religion and are misguided by the english translations of the quron which omit many of the passages or misinterpret many of them which are embarrassing .It would be good if people who take to islam read the original version of the quron in arabic or at least a dozen of the english trnaslations so that at least one would give them a genuine picture of what the religion is .I would oinvite the attnetion of the readers particularly to sura 78 entitled "AL-NABA ' (THE ANNOUNCEMENT ) AND THE SURA ENTITELED 'THE SPIDER".
The reading of a few versions would be misleading as most of the trnslations hav been purposely twised or omitting details to prune them of embarassing details .One will have to read a number of trnaslations to get at the faithfull and true translation of the quron.
many people who take tothe religion are doing so on misquidance of the interested parties .

Population growth in Mohammedan countries. Also the "lock-in"/fear of punishment for apostasy factor in most mohammedan lands.

There are religious fads in the West, as we have freedom of choice in religion, so in some countries it may be religion du jour.

Mohammedans are bizarrely very self-confident. Islamic countries have been in creative and intellectual stagnation for 5 centuries so this self-confidence goes against any sense. Self-confidence from 1) lots of young people 2) pride at success of extremist violence 3) insecurity 4) ignorance of other religious ideas

Not much, they claim that it's there, but no one ever supplies statistics or sources.

: A quote from an individual in a newspaper is still an unsubstantiated claim. Rapid growth does not indicate "True Religion". Islam suffers from the same problems that Christianity and Judaism do, along with some even more serious archaeological problems.

radical islam is a virus, a plague on humanity. Religion of peace my ***. Martyrs don't kill people or themselves. The definition of a martyr is someone who dies in the name of God- not kills in the name of God. All good islamists should stand up against this plague that is enveloping the earth. If you are then killed becuse you don't believe what the radicals are doing, then you will be a martyr. How hard is that to see? Radicals are cockroaches. They hide behind innocents.
