It is not.
Here are the numbers.

Christianity: 2.1 billion
Islam: 1.3 billion
Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 1.1 billion
Hinduism: 900 million
Chinese traditional religion: 394 million
Buddhism: 376 million
primal-indigenous: 300 million
African Traditional & Diasporic: 100 million
Sikhism: 23 million
Juche: 19 million
Spiritism: 15 million
Judaism: 14 million
Baha'i: 7 million
Jainism: 4.2 million
Shinto: 4 million

Zoroastrianism: 2.6 million
Tenrikyo: 2 million
Neo-Paganism: 1 million
Unitarian-Universalism: 800 thousand
Rastafarianism: 600 thousand
Scientology: 500 thousand

Many religions claim to be the fastest growing religions
this can be said by actual numbers or twisted by saying percentages which would make any religion of one that increaes by one the fastest growing religion increaing its numbers by one hundrend percent.
Islam uses these twisted prcentages to twist the truth as it twist many truths.

Edit to qs If I started a religion today with only myself...then I increase my membership tommorow by one ...I have increased my membership one hundred percent...to you this means I have the fastest growing religion in the world and will soon overtake Christianity?.

Islam does not have many converts - it has the highest birth rates of any religion in the world due to the subjugation of women! A Muslim man can kill his wife for refusing to have more children and nothing will happen to him!
Palestinian refugees average 12 children per woman! That is for a people with no homeland, no place to live and barely any thing to eat!
So they are flooding into Western Europe and the USA and breeding exactly the same way while taking advantage of social handouts. That is the reason it is the fastest growing religion in the world (the numbers have tripled in the last 30 years).

This is not happening quite as much anymore, but a lot of Muslim missionaries tried to appeal to Black Americans desire for unity and action. They also told them the Christianity, unlike Islam was a leftover yolk from slavery times. For this many Blacks in the US converted to Islam in the late fifties to late seventies.

Well, since Islam still converts by conquest and the kidnapping of non-believers as they did in 635 AD, and doesn't allow Muslims to convert to any other religion on pain of death, and doesn't allow the evangelism of another religious faith within Islamic countries on pain of death...it's not very difficult to understand that it is still growing.

What's more interesting would be the number of Muslims that would convert to Christianity if they were actually allowed to study the Bible, if evangelists were allowed to preach to Muslims, if Muslims weren't threatened with death for converting out of Islam...etc etc.

Because they don't understand that God loved them so much he sent his son to die for their sins and that Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven!

I have read the Koran.... and I will continue to read the book that was written over 600 years earlier. I will continue to believe that the Koran got the fact Jesus was born of a virgin and could do miracles right but missed the fact Jesus was the son of God and died for our salvation! The Sunni and Shea can't even agree on whether Jesus was crucified reading the same text. The Bible is reliable and we have copies of the texts that are within a couple decades of Jesus death and during the time there were still witnesses alive. I will take the word of witnesses that Jesus was the son of God.


Oh wait you aren't even allowed to read or hold the Bible according to Islam, you can't even own a Bible or Cross in Saudi Arabia... and if you converted to Christianity from Islam... death etc.

To be honest, like most Americans, I didn't know much about Islam until the events of the past few years brought it to my attention.
Like all religions, Islam has it's share of whack jobs but overall I believe it to be a beautiful religion full of vibrant, alive and good people.

Paganism is by far the fastest growing religion in the US. Atheism is growing vastly faster than Islam. Be careful whose figures you believe - a lot of nonsense is talked. Figures for Islam are inflated by two things world wide. First, Islam is a religion of underdeveloped, backward nations with uncontrolled birth rates. Second, apostates are execute under Islam.

On this basis, Islam is about as evil and backward as religion manages to get. And that's saying some.
