    I don't "feel" anything about a premise based upon a false assumption. There are only two ways to get from Muslims being 25% of the world's population to over 50% within just 15 years. One is for each adult Muslim woman capable of having a baby to start pumping one out about once a year. That's clearly not a realistic scenario. The second is to start a global war which will kill off a couple billion non-Muslims. Hopefully this is not the scenario you had envisioned. :(

    In reality, birth rates in the Muslim Middle East are rapidly declining towards European levels. That leaves sub-Saharan Africa as the geographical region with the world's highest birthrate, where there are more Christians than Muslims. A more realistic scenario for the next 15 years is that the proportion of world Muslims stays roughly the same, or even slightly declines as the proportion of Christians slightly increases.

    If you disagree, you are welcome to provide a reliable statistical source to support your premise about a rapid expansion in the global Muslim population. Just don't quote any Islamic da'wah (evangelism) sites!

    The denomination of "non belief" has been growing faster than any "religion" for the last 100 years.

    The stats prove it. Eventually Islam will be consigned to the bucket of bad ideas like the rest of them. And it looks like Islam at this moment in time is pretty much in self-destruct mode anyway, with Muslims killing their fellow Muslims all over the Islamic world.

    Islam has no where near the rate of growth of either agnosticism, atheism, or even religions such as Spiritualism, Daoism and Sikhism which all beat Islam hands down for growth in the last 100 years. Numbers wise, even though non-belief is on the rise at a faster rate than any particular religious belief, the sheer number of Christians still vastly outnumbers the other religions. That's unlikely to change any time soon, unfortunately.

    How could that be when sadly nearly all the Muslim countries are suffering the scourge of Muslim slaughtering Muslim?

    The violence goes right back to a dispute over who had spiritual authority over the Muslim community after the death of the prophet Muhammad in what is called the “fitna” which translates as temptation or trial and caused all the discord within Muslim community.

    Shi’ite Muslims believe that authority was vested in his family; the Sunnis look to the sayings and actions of Muhammad as well as the Koran.

    The extreme sectarian violence has been brought about by Al-Qaeda Which while being exclusively Sunni deliberately set Shi’ites and Sunnis to kill each other in Iraq. Sadly more Muslims die by Muslim hands each month than were killed by the invading forces in the war!

    Hamas also kills far more Muslims than the Israelis ever have!

    An average of over thirty five Muslims a week were being killed by Muslims but in the last few years it has frequently been over a hundred a week!

    Whether it is a Danish Cartoon, book of fiction , a snippet of film or some other excuse, Muslims hit the streets around the world rioting, looting, burning and uttering death threats!

    Nearly all the Muslim countries are seeing Muslims attack Muslims destroying homes, businesses, infrastructure and targeting women and children particularly showing the extremists must surely be trying to turn Muslims into primitives living in caves and mud huts so they can be controlled more easily!

    The murders in London and Paris clearly demonstrate that the extremists are winning in turning Muslims into primitive savages!

    All that is required for evil to triumph over good is for good men to do nothing Evil can triumph only if good men do nothing – Edmund Burke

    So if Muslims want Islam to be a religion of peace and be able to live in peace what are Muslims going to do about it?!

    What should concern everyone is that the aims of the Muslim Brotherhood, al Qaeda, the Taliban and all of Islam really is total world domination. Whilst it is currently about civil war make no mistake their ultimate aim is world war three

    I highly doubt 1.7 billion people are going to become Muslims in 15 years.

    In just 15 years? Really? That sounds like BS to me, statistically speaking.

    Are you factoring in self-annihilation tendency of Islam and its many sects? The way they are going the whole religion will implode from factional war.

    And no religious affiliations/atheism is the fastest growing group when it comes to religion/theism.

    Estimates by who, the BNP or people who can't do maths? Not that those groups are mutually exclusive.

    I'm cool with that as long as the number of hajib fetish sites reflect the population increase.
