I'm merely interested in learning the facts.Did you read any of the sources you mentioned? The CNN news is a well known piece of article of which the source cannot be traced to. That is, a claim should be supported by statistical evidence, anyone can say anything but it can be valid when you give the evidence right?. And I don't think we need to talk about other news paper articles that were published in 1989 or something when we are talking about the world today right? Besides they also lack the evidence. None of the above sources seems to have any evidence, other than the guiness book which I didn't check.Also I asked for sources to support the claim "Islam is the fastest growing religion in USA" , not world.Anyways I'm not denying what is said in those sources. Instead I will bring forward some studies that I think would be interesting.(1) The growth of Islam in USA is only due to the fact of birth rate of Muslims, it has nothing to do with conversion rate. So the growth is infact even though it suggests the same thing, is not religious but more nationality based. Muslims grow therefore the Islam grow.(2)According to Dr. Ilyas Ba-Yunu(A muslim) 75% of converts to Islam in USA leave it withing few years.(3) If you talk about the percentage change, there are many religions that have a higher rate than Islam.All the sources can be found in WikiIslam.The point is, the claim "Islam is the fastest growing religion in USA" is disputable. If the total number of people are considered it seems Christianity has a higher rate, and if percentage of growth is considered Sikhism has a higher rate, and so on.On a side note it is important to note that Wikipedia identifies the Buddhism to be the fastest growing religion of the west.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_to_be_the_fastest-growing_religion" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_to_be_the_fastest-growing_religion</a>Note that all sources are cited int the above web page.Also Buddhism is the fastest growing religion in Australia in terms of percentage growth.</blockquote>
