The global Muslim population stands at 1.57 billion, meaning that nearly 1 in 4 people in the world practice Islam, according to a report Wednesday billed as the most comprehensive of its kind.

[Notwithstanding]

1 in every 5 persons in the world is Catholic.

[BallyBill]

I thought it was 1/2 Muslim...the tide is turning!

[Blood of Tyrants]

And if you add the Protestants to that number, you will have about 1 in 3 people in the world are Christians.

But 1 in 4 people who follow the religion of murder is shocking.

Nearly 1 in 4 People Worldwide Is Muslim

They is?

[wastedyears]

That would mean there are now more Muslims in the world than Catholics.

But I think the overall number of Christians is over 2 billion.

[GeronL]

It is spread by the sword.

They is?

Me fail English? That's unpossible.

[Notwithstanding]

Historically, protestants and Catholics also tried to convert people by the sword. it was the way of the world, sadly. The more civilized people learned that is no way to convert anyone, and the uncivilized still think it is a good way.

[mikelets456]

Can you break it down to believers in Christ as to those who are not? I think the results will surprise you....

[gun_supporter]

Ha! I didn’t notice, I just copied and pasted the title. So much for English grad school...

[YouGoTexasGirl]

Remember, they have NO choice in many nations. Even here in the USA they have been killed by their own family if they want to be Christian.

I cannot help but believe that given the choice to be Muslim or Christian, many millions would choose Christianity.

[LonePalm]

By choice or compulsion?

I am a Christian by choice.

I do not think that another Christian would try to kill me if I decided to join some other religious group.

I am not talking about hundreds of years ago, I am talking about today, this hour.

[Notwithstanding]

Yes - just as my comments indicate.

[Kakaze]

It is spread by the sword

Also the womb.....look at birth rates.

Nearly 1 in 4 People Worldwide Is Muslim

An BOzo is one of them.

[popdonnelly]

Islam is badly in need of a Reformation.
