Christianity is the largest religion in the world today, but if trends persist, Islam will overtake it by the end of the 21st century.
So predicts the Pew Research Center, which identified two factors in Islam’s current status as the world’s fastest growing faith: Muslim women are having more children, on average, than women of other religions, and adherents to Islam, on average, are younger than devotees of other religious groups.
Around the world, each Muslim woman has an average of 3.1 children, compared with 2.3 for all other groups combined,” said the report, “Muslims and Islam: Key findings in the U.S. and around the world.”
Muslims are also the youngest (median age of 23 years old in 2010) of all major religious groups, seven years younger than the median age of non-Muslims. As a result, a larger share of Muslims already are, or will soon be, at the point in their lives when they begin having children. This, combined with high fertility rates, will fuel Muslim population growth.
In addition, the recent terrorist attack outside the houses of the British Parliament, which was carried out by a Muslim with ties to Birmingham, refocused attention on that central English city, where 20 percent of the population is Muslim.
The Pew study also noted that while migration doesn’t affect the overall growth of Islam worldwide, it does increase the religion’s profile in certain areas. Europeans can certainly attest to that, as most of the recent migrants and refugees from the Middle East and North Africa are Muslim.

Last year, as Muslims were having trouble getting a building permit for a mosque from Bernards Township, New Jersey, several Christian organizations offered them legal support, on the grounds that religious freedom is for all, not only Christians. Some members of the Southern Baptist Convention balked, however.
“If we defend the rights of people to construct places of false worship, are we not helping them speed down the highway to hell?” said Tennessee megachurch pastor Dean Haun, explaining why he resigned from the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention over its support for the mosque. “I want no part in supporting a false religion, even if it is in the name of religious freedom.”
No booze, bacon or bikinis:
what idoitic woman would say yes to that..?
Islamic immigration to the West is treason. Those who facilitate it are traitors.
Give the goldfish (Islam) a bigger bowl (Europe), and it will grow accordingly.
Yeah, if a gun is place to your head, and the choice is “Convert, submit and become a slave, or DIE!”, the choice is pretty stark.
Also, once the conversion is made, no back conversions are permitted, and you die anyway.
Slaves, of course, are not allowed to practice their version of any religion, as they have to acknowledge Allah as god and Mohammed as his prophet.
Sure about that? Folks have been saying some version of “The End is Near” for about two thousand years.
If everyone jumps off of a cliff . . .
Islam only expands by force and reproduction.
If Islam could exist by any means other than tyranny and coercion, Muslim nations wouldn't be so opposed to allowing religious freedom.
Those "religious" businesses masquerade as Christian, but embrace and applaud such deviant and godless behavior as homosexuality. Those religions might be a lot of things. But "Christian" they're not.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matt 7:21-23
With that in mind, and with the digressions of other quasi and false "Christian" churches, my guess is that Muslims have surpassed Christians in sheer numbers long ago.
Islam is growing because everyone can see that they’re getting preferential treatment everywhere they turn. Stupid obsequious leftists are re-writing all the rules to show that they’re not “phobic” toward the people who attacked us on 9-11 and have sworn to destroy our culture and impose their will upon the entire world.
I won’t sign up to be a part of that suicide pact.
The testimony came from a reliable source.
What the PEW study group needs to do is start a study group on islam and how the “religious aspect” is merely a beard for global conquest by pirates.
Islam is just one big war plan.
Breed like Rabbits , I bet Trudeau’s 25,000 Muslim family imports had 25,000- 50,000 babies by now
Actually it is a Barbarian Migration, like the ones that destroyed Rome.
Aiding it, however, is treason, as in “..adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”
Perhaps because Christians and Jews are contracepting and aborting themselves out of existence?
