The same website also claims that islam is the second largest world religion...and growing:

Of course the figures vary quite a bit.

I'm still looking for some current polls, current meaning at least 2004. If I find anything I will post and ping.
In my opinion this is part of the problem:
Muslim immigration has bounced back
This has a list, from 2004, of countries ranked by percentage of muslims listing the U.S. at #115:

Thanks for the info. I guess we all view such things from our own perspective. Here in small town South Dakota, nearly everyone is either Lutheran or Catholic. In my husband's hometown in Kansas, everyone is Baptist or shunned. (LOL) My sister is LDS in Salt Lake City, and so are all of her friends and neighbors.
That said, we travel frequently, and are seeing more and more veiled women on flights. I'm the old blonde blue-eyed granny who always gets the "big pat-down". They (the Muslims) never do.
I still doubt the stats.

14/01/2007
The bombing near Queen Bilqius Temple in Marib on Saturday might be terrorist act to destabilize security, security source said. The source told NewsYemen that the bombing might want to turn away the attention of authorities to bombers in oil facilities in Safer in Marib and Al-Dhaba in Hadhramout last September as the investigations into the two attacks have been just completed. But dpa quoted a security source as saying that an old left mine exploded under the gate of the temple without casualties.

Bomb kills 4 of family (Bangladesh)
Sunday, 14 January, 2007
DHAKA: A woman and her three daughters were killed when a crude bomb exploded in a slum in western Bangladesh yesterday, police said. The victims were garbage pickers, who brought home the device thinking it to be a food can, said a police officer in Chapainawabganj town, 330km (206 miles) west of Dhaka. “They did not realise it was a bomb and it exploded while they were trying to open it,” he said.
Another bomb went off later in the area but nobody was hurt. The police recovered two more live bombs and a search has been ordered through the slum. The police said they did not know if the bombs had been left behind in the garbage dumps by criminals or Islamist militants who had carried out a wave of bombings in 2005. “We are investigating,” the police officer said, without giving details.
Islamist militants seeking Shariah law in mainly Muslim Bangladesh killed at least 30 people and wounded 150 in a spate of countrywide bomb blasts in the second half of 2005. But their campaign suffered a blow after top leaders were arrested early last year.
