In the period 1990-2000, approximately 12.5 million more people converted to Islam than to Christianity".<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_to_be_the_fastest-growing_religion#cite_note-GWR2003-19" target="_blank">[20]</a> Part of the books quote can be seen online from <a href="http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2ZSHm9rYq38C&q=converted#search_anchorC" target="_blank">this</a> extract from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Books" target="_blank">Google Books</a>.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_to_be_the_fastest-growing_religion#cite_note-GWR2003-19" target="_blank">[20]</a>  This was again shown in the 2005, 50th anniversary edition of Guinness  Book of World Records, although the number of conversions was not  mentioned this time.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_to_be_the_fastest-growing_religion#cite_note-20" target="_blank">[21]</a> In 1990, 935 million people were <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim" target="_blank">Muslims</a>  and this figure had risen to around 1.2 billion by the year 2000,  meaning that around this time one in five people were followers of  Islam. According to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC" target="_blank">BBC</a>, a comprehensive American study concluded in 2009 the number stood at 1 in 4 with 60% of Muslims spread all over the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia" target="_blank">Asian continent</a>: "A report from an American think-tank has estimated 1.57 billion Muslims populate the world - with 60% in Asia".<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_to_be_the_fastest-growing_religion#cite_note-Pew_Reference_.231_.28from_Pew_site.29-21" target="_blank">[22]</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_to_be_the_fastest-growing_religion#cite_note-Pew_Reference_.232_.28from_BBC_site.29-22" target="_blank">[23]</a> The report was done by the Pew Forum Research Centre.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_to_be_the_fastest-growing_religion#cite_note-Pew_Reference_.232_.28from_BBC_site.29-22" target="_blank">[23]</a> The forum also projected that in 2010 out of the total number of Muslims in the world 62.1% will live in Asia.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_to_be_the_fastest-growing_religion#cite_note-Pew_Reference_.231_.28from_Pew_site.29-21" target="_blank">[22]</a> However the report also included a statement saying "While the global  Muslim population is expected to grow at a faster rate than the  non-Muslim population, the Muslim population nevertheless is expected to  grow at a slower pace in the next two decades than it did in the  previous two decades. From 1990 to 2010, the global Muslim population  increased at an average annual rate of 2.2%, compared with the projected  rate of 1.5% for the period from 2010 to 2030".<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_to_be_the_fastest-growing_religion#cite_note-Pew_Reference_.231_.28from_Pew_site.29-21" target="_blank">[22]</a>  The report also made reference to the fact that Muslims are estimated  to make up 23.4% of the total global population in 2010 (out of a total  of 6.9 billion people) and that by 2030 Muslims will represent about  26.4% of the global population (out of a total of 7.9 billion people).<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_to_be_the_fastest-growing_religion#cite_note-Pew_Reference_.231_.28from_Pew_site.29-21" target="_blank">[22]</a> The Pew report also highlights that there is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_%28statistics%29" target="_blank">insufficient data</a> available on religious conversion from its own findings given the complexities of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_%28social_science%29" target="_blank">identity</a>  and the difficulties of obtaining data: "Statistical data on conversion  to and from Islam are scarce. What little information is available  suggests that there is no substantial net gain or loss in the number of  Muslims through conversion globallyහරි ඔක්කොම කියෙව්වද??? ඉංග්‍රිසි බැරිනම් කියන්න.. පරිවර්තන කරලා දාන්නම්.. ඒ බං.. හැබේට කවුද බං ගොනාට ඇන්දිලා තියෙන්නේ?? බුදු දහම බුද්දිමතුන්ට විතරය්.. ඒකය් ලංකාව ලෝකයෙම විශිෂ්ටතම රට වෙලා තියෙන්නේ..( රෙප් කැපිමට කිසිම බාදවක් නැත..)</blockquote>
