ABCNEWS,Abcnews.comABC News Broadcasted on BIC News 13 December 1997Fastest-Growing Religion Often Misunderstood By Barr Seitz“Experts agree Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in America. As many as five million Muslims live in the United States and in the last five years, the number of mosques in this country has increased from 843 to about 1,300. Most of the growth has come from immigration, but much of it is homegrown. For many black Americans, Islam has become the religion of choice and some one million have converted. “It is an American phenomenon, which started in the ghettoes of the north,” says Yvonne Haedad, a professor of history of Islam and of Christian-Muslim Relations at Georgetown University. “It is a response to racism…it is seen as the religion of liberation.”“Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the country.” NEWSDAY, March 7, 1989, p.4“Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the United States…” NEW YORK TIMES, Feb 21, 1989, p.1Moslems are the world’s fastest-growing group…” USA TODAY, The populationreferance bureau, Feb. 17,1989, p.4A“Muhummed is the most successful of all Prophets and religious personalities. ” Encyclopedia Britannica“There are more Muslims in North America then Jews Now.” Dan Rathers, CBS NEWS“Islam is the fastest growing religion in North America.” TIMES MAGAZINE“Islam continues to grow in America, and no one can doubt that!” CNN, December 15, 1995“The religion of Islam is growing faster than any other religion in the world.” MIKE WALLACE, 60MINUTES“Five to 6 million strong, Muslims in America already outnumber Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and Mormons,and they are more numerous than Quakers, Unitarians, Seventh-day Adventists, Mennonites, Jehovah’sWitnesses, and Christian Scientists, combined.

Nationwide there are from 6 to 8 million Muslims. Based on anecdotal accounts and interviews, the refugee service estimates that nationwide there could be as many as 18,000 converts a year or one convert per mosque per month.”Seattle Times’Muslim in America’: by Marc Ramirez staff reporter‘With some 6 million U.S. followers, Islam is one of the nation’s fastest-growing faiths.’CONVERSIONS IN BRITAINSunday Times (London, U.K.)Rajeev Syal and Christopher Morgan”The nation’s claim to be a Christian country is about to meet its first challenge: the number of practicing Muslims is set to overtake Anglican Christians…. There have also been a number of high-profile conversions to Islam from Christianity. These include the British middleweight boxing champion, who has changed his name to Hamdan; and Cat Stevens, the pop musician, who calls himself Yusuf Islam…. Prince Charles courted controversy when he reaffirmed his claim that when he succeeds the throne, he does not wish to be the defender of only the Christian faith.”THE TIMES Tuesday, 9th November 1993’Why Are British Women Turning To Islam’ by Lucy Berrington’Unprecedented numbers of British people, nearly all of them women, are converting to Islam at a time of deep divisions within the Anglican and Catholic churches.The rate of conversions has prompted predictions that Islam will rapidly become an important religious force in this country. “Within the next 20 years the number of British converts will equal or overtake the immigrant Muslim community that brought the faith here”, says Rose Kendrick, a religious education teacher at a Hull comprehensive and the author of a textbook guide to the Koran. She says: “Islam is as much a world faith as is Roman Catholicism. No one nationality claims it as its own”. Islam is also spreading fast on the continent and in America.In the United States, women converts outnumber men by four to one, and in Britain make up the bulk of the estimated 10, 000 to 20, 000 converts, forming part of a Muslim community of 1.5 million.Many of Britain’s “New Muslims” are from middle-class backgrounds. Some say the conversions are prompted by the rise of comparative religious education. The British media, offering what Muslims describe as a relentless bad press on all things Islamic, is also said to have helped. Westerners despairing of their own society – rising in crime, family breakdown, drugs and alcoholism- have come to admire the discipline and security of Islam. Many converts are former Christians disillusioned by the uncertainty of the church and unhappy with the concept of the Trinity and deification of Jesus.’ConclusionYou wanted evidence, you got it. It should now be clear as light that Islam is the fastest growing religion on the planet. Islam is growing at an incredible speed because it is the religion of truth which offers you the answers to the questions of life and gives you a complete code of life. Don’t just be amazes at the growth of Islam; study it, accept it and practice it.source <a href="http://truereligiondebate.wordpress.com/2008/03/17/islam-is-the-world%E2%80%99s-fastest-growing-religion-a-must-see-facts-if-you-cant-beat-it-then-join-it/" target="_blank">http://truereligiondebate.wordpress....-then-join-it/</a></blockquote>
