I read this before but would like actual sources to verify the statistics on the number of conversions.

bump for Jesus...

"Doesn't sound much like the Muslim jihadists you see in the liberal media, does it?"

Is he claiming that the liberal media is going out of their way to portray Muslims in a BAD light?

[day10]

I sure hope so.

[Continental Soldier]

While I often check-in with WND, I know it has it's own Christian agenda. Because of that, the substance of this item must be treated skeptically.

[texas_mrs]

Wow. Maybe we should put more assets towards this style of winning the war against radicalism. Truly a reason for hope.

[Namyak]

For instance, did the liberal media tell you about the Reconciliation Walk? From 1996-1999, teams of Christians trekked along the same route that the Crusaders did 900 years before – from Cologne, Germany, to Jerusalem. About 2,000 marchers, cycling in and out, visited Muslim and Jewish villages and cities. And as they went, they wore T-shirts proclaiming in Arabic or Hebrew, "I apologize" and called out, "We're sorry."

This disgusts me. The Crusades were a last-ditch attempt to defend Christian lands against the hordes of Muslim barbarians who were spreading their faith by the sword. Unfortunately they came too little too late, and lost focus due to the fractured nature of the Christian West and East. The people we should be apologizing to died long ago in defense of their homelands.

Kazakhstan: only three known Christians in 1990, but now more than 15,000.

Complete BS. Muslims make only half of Kazakhstan population. I am afraid that author counts as Christian the converts to his Protestant sect. And probably most of them are lapse Christians from traditional churches.

There are 6 million of Orthodox Christians and more than 300,000 of Catholics. Just the number of Poles who are Catholic is above 100,000!

It's really about their "book"....
THATTTTTTTT...... is where the Izzy-lam's feet of clay remian vulnerable....

The lack of verifiable historicity, the near non-existent record of textual transmission through the centuries...

The Izzylam-book is BOGUS...
Once the feet of clay are broken-- this thing will fall apart...

JMHO

[auntyfemenist]

There may be a lot of converts, but not enough. That figure is a drop in the bucket spread across the entire middle east, Balkans and north Africa. Looking at it that way puts it into perspective. I am glad there are some conversions, but it won't stop Islam.

[LurkedLongEnough]

Interesting.

I wonder how New Yorkers would respond to a American Muslim "Reconciliation Walk" down Broadway from midtown to the big hole downtown.

It's way past due.

[Unam Sanctam]

Sounds like some wishful thinking to me...

[Biggirl]

Goes to show that the good news of Jesus is spreading and it gives me hope.

[Capt. Tom]

Muslims packed movie theaters throughout the Middle East to see Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ." They were watching Jesus teach. They were watching Him suffer and die and rise again. They were crying – sobbing, in many cases – as they continued to flood the theaters night after night.

Not surprising, since Muslims believe Jesus Christ is a Muslim,, and one of their prophets.

The Muslims believe Mohammed is the last prophet after Jesus. Neither Mohammed or Jesus is considered divine by Muslims.

The Muslims believe their prophet Jesus (Isa) was taken up into heaven with Allah and will return. - Tom

"The incipient implosion of Islam ( Christianity is Growing Quickly in Muslim Countries )"

I would settle for rational thought getting a foothold within the middle east. Conversion to Christianity would be icing on the cake.

Religious fervor, irrationality, insanity, barbarism, and ignorance, seem to be the growing tenets and trends there.

Have they always been this screwed up? Or is this a new trend in the last few decades?

I'm quite puzzled by it all, to tell you the truth.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Which one kills you if you convert from it?
Which one tries to convert all who are not already in it?
Which one is hateful, intolerant and violent?
If the violent ones could be converted to the religion of reconciliation, forgiveness, and love, the world would be a better place.

"I apologize"

For what? For defending a land that had been forcibly occupied and a people who had been persecuted? As Yoda would say, "Apologize I don't."

[Grut]

So, what's the best beer-and-BBQ joint in Riyadh?

[yawningotter]

I suspect that our armed forces in Iraq are having an impact that goes far beyond fighting the terrorists. It would not surprise me to hear that there Christians in our military spreading the Good News, even if it is in the most subtle ways, and that Iraqis are responding. The thought that there are Christians winning muslims to Christ in Iraq is probably scarier to those mullahs than a boatload of Marines.

[Fred Nerks]

Let's hear it from the camel's mouth:

translation: "Islam used to be, as we stated before, Africa's primary religion...there was around 30 countries that write in arabic , currently the muslim population in Africa dropped to 316 million. Half of that number is of the North African Maghrib arab countries who are muslims anyway. So Africa that we are talking about, the non arabic, now has a muslim population of only 150 million , and if we knew that africa's population is around 1 billion people, then this is for sure a far less ratio/percentage than what it used to be in the beginings of the 20's century....as opposed to this ; The catholic population has risen from around a million of people in 1902 To 329882000 now, lets make it nearer and say 330 million .

As for how this happened, Africa has now a million and half a million churches. The number of the members of these churches 46 million people. Because of the christian missionaries every hour islam loses 667 muslims convert to Christianity, every Day 16000 , every year 6 MILLION."
