Islam is growing about 2.9% per year which 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
"Fain would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light however much the disbelievers are averse." (8) Al-Saff. The Holy Quran

ur idea of "reproduction" is silly
cuz u in the western world who bring dozens of babies(that u dont even know or heared of sometimes) since u start making love in a very young age with unlimited # of ppl(imagine how many children each 1 of u guys have around the country!!) if this is the case then u`d be the fastest, but no,it`s not the answer :)

This is why Christians are trying to use every dirty trick they learn from Satan to stop expansion of religion of Islam
without out finding out what is so good in Islam that people are converting as Muslims. If people are converting at such a rate there has to be some thing good in Islam. Don't people owe to themselves to l;earn themselves and find out instead of beliving what ever garbage Satan whispers in their ears and their hearts.
As I often say whom God guides to right path, even Satan can not dissuade him/her not matter what he does to stop the believer in God.

My theory is because all of those poor innocent kids are brainwashed from such an early age to follow Islam and not have any opportunity to make freedom of choices to study a different religion as they get older. Sad to see a 10 year old hugging an automatic machine gun on CNN and seeing a sparkle in this kid's eye all in the name of a Holy War. @@

Let's see it is illegal and often punished with death to convert to Christianity but some still find the truth and do, this man spent 2 years in an Egyptian prison and still has death threats... threat of violence and treating women as baby makers... yeah I guess it would grow!

Then there is the little bit with a woman getting arrested for naming a Teddy Bear... sounds like something that has none of God's love and forgiveness in it to me so I will stick with my faith even if it means my head like the Muslims did to some Christians recently.
Here are some other reasons maybe....
Woman arrested for becoming a Christian in Egypt.

They are reproducing so fast, I'm not surprised Islam is growing. Besides, in many Islamic countries renouncing Islam is a crime punishable by death. So I don't think any Muslim living in the Middle East is quick to voice their opinions.

When muslims talk of islam's growth, they're referring to the number of people living under islam's oppressive yoke, where they are forced to convert to islam or suffer the consequences. In Africa and Asia, we see how islam is being spread by intimidation, torture, guns and bombs, just as it has always been throughout its bloody history.

So... at one point in history Buddhism, worshiping Zeus, Zoroastrianism etc. were all the fastest growing... but there is only one path to salvation! When Peter first spoke after receiving the Holy Spirit the Christian Church went from 500 to about 3000 in one day... 600%.
I have read much of the Koran.... and I will continue to read and believe 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 and is the only way to salvation.

3 Quotes I like.
Buddha never claimed to be God. Moses never claimed to be Jehovah. Mohammed never claimed to be Allah. Yet Jesus Christ claimed to be the true and living God. Buddha simply said, "I am a teacher in search of the truth." Jesus said, "I am the Truth." Confucius said, "I never claimed to be holy." Jesus said, "Who convicts me of sin?" Mohammed said, "Unless God throws his cloak of mercy over me, I have no hope." Jesus said, "Unless you believe in me, you will die in your sins." --Unknown
"Christ died for men precisely because men are not worth dying for; to make them worth it." - C.S. Lewis
"Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it." - C.S. Lewis

Did you know that Britney Spears is one of the most poular recording artists of all time?
See - popularity does not equal truth. In fact, it's often the opposite.
