    In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful.

    yes brother,today the fastest growing religion in the world is Islam.These are not false claims,The facts are available.More than 500 Americans convert to Islam Daily.In the UK and Europe the Figures are mounting and we have superseeded all religions in terms of Conversions.

    But we muslims cannot take responsibility for this we have not done/or doing the job that we are meant to do.This is the handi work of Almighty God who brings to his religion whom he wishes.

    Is this not an eye opner to the disbelievers.That despite the efforts of the powers that be,despite CNN and BBC doing their best tp potray islam and muslims in bad light,Despite the Muslim Terrorist giiving Islam a bad name,yet when the intelligent mind sets out to explore Islam,he /she Finds the truth exactly opposite to that which the Ignorance of other minds try to propogate against Islam.

    Islam is the Religon of Truth,Based on solid pillars,or proof,logic and reason.No man made doctrines and concepts here!! No Blind Faith Here!! Islam Gives you answers and does not shy away from the truth.

    It is only those who see Islam as a Threat to the false concepts that they follow and cannot explain, who try to malign islam by making ignorant comments about the verses of the Holy Quran and the Prophet Muhammad [peace and blessings be upon him]Any Person who studies Islam with an open mind and understands the lifestyle and teachings of Prophet Muhammad[peace and blessings upon him]will be left with no choice but to accept Islam.

    I dont know how true it is, but I know one thing that "what goes up fast comes down even faster" so even if its true that Islam is the fastest growing religion it is actually the begining of its downfall, so lets wait for the BIG DAY when it falls flat on ground and never crops its head again. Other religions like Hinduism believe in "live and let live" and it goes slow and steady so that it lasts longer, and Hinduism is the Oldest religion is proof enough that its there to last. Dr. Zakir Naik has the right to be happy about it. But I am happier as a Hindu. Hinduism has learnt to live with an Atom Bomb but Islam has not.....religions come and go, but there are things which last for long and have stood the test of time and thats Hinduism.Unlike other religions Hinduism doesnt need anyone's seal of approval.

    Fastest growing in what? Numbers? All the 'reverts' convinced about Islam's tenets?

    There are many reasons why people convert. At least in some cases in India, conversion has taken place to escape criminal action. In Hindu law polygamy is a crime.A Hindu who marries a second time with out divorcing the first wife does a crime.Where as Islamic law permits polygamy. When a Hindu likes to take a second wife converts to islam to hoodwink the Hindu law.

    So where is spirituality in this?

    I suggest that the modern age will ensure that information and ideas will be passed on quicker.

    People will agree or disagree, convert or reject, join or leave at a rate unparalleled in history.

    It seems fair to me to say that people will come to the truth quicker than ever before, and is hence suggestive that if Islam is true it will grow even more rapidly.

    It's a whole new world....

    Because others with single spouse are practising family planing while Muslims mostly with four spouses and any number of concubines according to their capacity to sustain them are not practising family planning and are producing much more people with be;ow the average intelligence .That is the reason for the backwardness of the Muslims all over the world .

    the increase if any is not certainly due to any voluntary conversion on the conviction about any philosophy or anything great in that religion.In fact the behaviour of the Muslim terrorists all oer the world is causing aversion to the religion and scaring people away from that religions

    Islam is a political party or what? What is the social standing of all those who converted to Islam? What are the reasons for such conversion, revolt to the society they earlier belonged or superior belief system of Islam? Is it the result of free society where veerybody is free to choose belief system of his/her choice, or fear of persecution to Muslims who want to jump Islam? Is it due to forced conversion to Islam in Islamic countries? Is it due to the breeding habit to procreate like pigs?

    Find out answers to these questions and you would have clear picture. There is nothing to take pride in to or to boast.

    Neither a label, title, name, its history, **size of membership, amount of time it existed or claims made about them means anything (u can call anything anything). Its whats practiced that makes them either the whole truth or a lie. A dictionary definition doesnt necessarily encompass God's full definition or usage of a word (or His exceptions thereof). 4 example, neither Jesus nor the Biblical prophets were ever muslims no matter whats claimed regarding an islam definition application 4 the word muslim (calling a dog god doesnt make it God).

    The real Jesus Christ (was never a muslim) is the only true way 2 salvation (Acts 4:12 - on an individual level) not Islam (God never sent Muhammud - no NEW prophets after Jesus, who cancels out the need 4 new prophets). Islam has nothing 2 do with knowing God. Its a man-made religion (only obvious 2 those who know the real Jesus Christ). Wrong teaching comes from false prophets, cancelling out anything they claim. When u dont know the real Jesus, accepting His death & resurrection & true position/Biblical teachings, the result is false teachings that kills u & ur offspring - theres many ways that seem right 2 men but its end = death (u cant worship in truth & in error - error cancels all u teach).

    The crux of the problem 4 most humans is man (having limited knowledge) tries 2 understand who God is by imposing human limitations 4 understand things 2 God's abilities. Muslims make the mistake of believing the Bible has many errors or is rewritten, that the koram is "the" perfect holy book). The Bible is only full of errors if u dont accept Jesus as God's real Son & if u r determined 2 make errors ur focal point so u can dismiss the Bible as the true word of God. God will give u what ur looking 4 in ur heart. Many r determined 2 dismiss God & will b given over 2 their hateful hardened heart. Muslims say the Qu'ran is perfect but it contains blatant fatal errors -

    The problem is theres many religions with different varieties/offshoots. 1 day I realized they cant all b right (ie. theres 1 Bible, why so many interpretations? - II Pet 1:**19-21). Most religions came thru people who thought up things 4 a God they & others liked. Some realized religion could b good 2 control the masses & 4 other agendas. Religion wont teach u much about God (they cant teach what they dont know). Who knows more about a house the Builder or he who moves in later?

    Religions made many fatal mistakes. However, do u think God is all knowing & there4, would fully understand His purpose, including 4 Jesus Christ? Many miss this - Jesus is the only 1 in history whom said He's "the" way, "the" truth & "the" life & NO 1 can know God except thru Jesus (Jn 14:6 - ref Acts 4:12; Jn 5:39; 10:1,7). This means "the" whole truth was complete & there4 finished thru what Jesus taught & did or God doesn't know what He's doing & cant b God. The truth is either fully true or its a lie. The full truth cant contain a lie & is the absence of any lie.

    Either Jesus is the only full truth or theres no actual truth & there4 no God (God would have 2 know what Jesus was going 2 do). This means Jesus is whom He says He is or He's just another false prophet among many, whom should b disregarded. If He's the actual truth then theres no need 4 any NEW teaching. This means any so-called new teaching & any other religious beliefs &/or from self-proclaimed prophets or teachers r invalid, null & void & cant lead u 2 our real God.

    ***If Jesus came from God as His only Son as stated in the Bible then the Quran (doesnt agree with the Bible), the Book of Mormon (no such thing as "another testament), JWs (rewrote some Bible verses - New World Translation) & other religions r wrong about Jesus b/c they demote Jesus 2 just a prophet or good man. If Jesus Christ isnt God's Son (false prophet) then the Bible & all others r wrong. We cant have it 2 ways. Theres only 1 Jesus & there can only be 1 true Gospel (II Cor 11:4; Gal 1:6,9; I Tm 6:3). If Jesus is whom He says He is then Muhammad (muslim follower of Islam), Joseph Smith (Mormon = Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints), Jahovah's Witnesses (JWs = Watchtower), Most Catholics, many Protestants, Ellen White (7th Day Adventists), Mary Baker (Christian Scientists), the moonies (Unification church - Rev Moon), Church of Scientology (Dynanetics - L Ron Hubbard), Buddhism, Hinduism & others presenting other teachings & practices r the false prophets & teachers & should be disregarded. But I can assure u the truth is in the Bible (where Jesus was coming from in everything He did & said).

    [Many (see above par.) claim they believe Jesus is the Son of God (however, even the devil knows Jesus exists) but having read the entire Bible (some parts many times) I state with authority that many dont know God or Jesus. If ur foundation of teaching is wrong it cancels out all other claims u make = house built upon sand. Claiming Jesus is the Messiah doesnt mean u know the real Jesus Christ]

    Jesus couldnt have done nor said all thats written in the New Testament unless He fully knew the entire Old Testament (the NT didnt exist while Jesus was on earth). Jesus couldnt have known the entire OT unless God was with Him. & the Apostles couldnt remember & write down all thats in the NT unless Jesus allowed them 2 remember & understand what He was here 4 (Lk 24:25-27,45). Not possible unless an incredibly Intelligent Being caused it.

    But no matter how much many well-meaning people (religious or not) read the Bible they cant find Jesus Christ without going directly 2 Jesus thru His Biblical instructions (Jn 5:39; 10:1,7; 3:3,5). But God outsmarted man - the Bible is the only 1 that cant b properly understood without Jesus (Jn 14:6; II Cor 3:14; Is 29:11-12 - If Jewish people cant pierce the veil over the OT without Jesus then 4 sure all the gentiles cant). Thats why theres so many interpretations & why many think its all fairy tales/a delusion (Jesus came bearing the sword of division).

    God doesnt compromise the truth - if u do u cancel out ur being a follower of the real truth & in turn that cancels ur place in Heaven.

    Source(s): The Holy One of Israel, Jesus Christ, God's Holy Spirit, the Bible, careful research and observation and personal experience provided by the Most High - He who has the Son has the Father also but he who doesnt have the Son doesnt know the Father either - it shall be sheer terror 2 understand the real message - God doesnt respect any man or his religions. Again, theres many ways which seem right 2 men but its end = death. Biblical knowledge in & of itself wont save u. Borrowing true knowledge from others wont help u - if u have a good meal poisoned with arsenic adding (patching it) better quality food wont cure the problem but it may prolong your inevitable death but it'll b death nevertheless - its still part of the poisoned tree. Its a waste of ur time 2 try 2 patch a tire thats full of holes. 2 Muslims: Even if today preserved chiselled Qu'ran text bricks were found & dated 2 the Qu'ran's original writing proved 2 b a perfect copy of today's Qu'ran it wouldnt b anymore true than the 1rst official text. What Jesus taught came from the OT - the NT confirms the OT - the whole truth was from the beginning the same. The Qu'ran doesnt contain the same truth of either the OT or NT (God preserved the full truth by the same unchanged system in both the OT & NT - emphasis placed on not going beyond whats written (I Cor 4:6) - the whole truth is complete within its pages - Both God & Jesus never change) no matter what languages its translated 2. Nothing that teaches anything else is valid - see above **verses. 1 cant acknowledge the real Jesus Christ while teaching a different so-called truth or gospel. He who believes Jesus must disregard all other teachings as false b/c they r. The Qu'ran is false b/c it neither comes from nor teaches what came from Jesus & u must reject it if u want 2 b with the real Jesus Christ. Why would a man born of a human man & woman b allowed 2 replace or hold a higher status than the 1 born of God which even the koram admits about Muhammud vs. Jesus? Muslims say God is all powerful but He couldnt protect His word in the Bible meaning they dont know the real God, the God of Israel, the 1 & only God who actually occupies infinity meaning Allah doesnt exist. Jesus didnt become the Son of God the same way true believers become children of God - being born directly of God (there4 being perfect like God His Father) Jesus is given the highest status above all those born of human conception. No1 is automatically a child of God. Only thru Jesus Christ, the only 1 with such authority from God, can u become a true child of God. Any other path kills all ur efforts 2 become a real child of God - no1 can take the true Kingdom of God by force nor can any1 buy (by money, good deeds, etc.) their own way in2 Heaven (without true belief in Jesus by His Biblical instructions u dont get in2 Heaven). Some in Islam call Jesus the Messiah while in reality they r claiming Jesus failed His mission, calling Him a liar. Again, either Jesus is who He says He is & the quran is wrong or both the Bible & the koran r wrong & we r all wasting our time. True hope is only possible thru Jesus' death & resurrection. If thats a lie the whole of all Jesus did was 4 naught. Take ur pick. Its ur neck but both cant b right. The Bible severely warns us not 2 trust humans, not even ourselves, clergy or churches (Jer 10:2-5,23; Is 2:22; Job 12:11; Prov 14:12; Acts 17:11). So carefully think over what I say. Dont just believe or disregard what I write. It might save u from making the same mistake many made, getting caught up in religious beliefs having nothing 2 do with knowing God. Many dont know that God is well aware many would [un]intentionally twist & prevert His Word so He invented a system in the Bible that will never change (Just like God & Jesus - more visible in word 4 word/right amount of the literal translation method versions). Regarding Bibles I recommend the English Standard Version (ESV) as its an easy 2 read but more accurate version than what others will suggest. Its very important 2 understand the most accurate Bibles r those that r word 4 word or a combination of word 4 word + the right amount of literal translation (4 readability). Presently, theres over 30 versions of the Bible. Only a few r translated close 2 whats in the original text. The ESV adheres 2 the word for word method while making it easy 2 read (literal method) - the best accurate Bible 4 the younger crowd - but its good 4 parents, children & others 2 be reading the same Bible 4 good communication (get 1 with verse references so u can easily look up related text). Whoever seeks Jesus with all his heart & soul will find Him (u shall know the truth & it'll set u free). But why should God want u 2 live with Him forever if u dont want 2 know Him (reason 4 free will - Jn 1:12-13)? The truth of God remains forever unchanged while things of a man dies with him, including his religions & gods made in his image. Theres eternal hope only in the real Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

    Of course yes. Its rapidly spread religion all over the world. Even in Australia, there was a rule launched recently in order to stop its spreading.

    Given Up : you're seriously deluded....did you forget about the Crusades? The millions of Africans captured and sold into slavery? The decimation of the indigenous population in Latin America after Columbus arrived (10 - 25 million dead on estimate)? Burning of so-called witches? Discrimination of women? These things were all condoned, promoted and done in the name of 'God' and Christianity.....
