Is Islam The Fastest Growing Religion...

Foreignpolicy.com reports that Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world, and so does Wikipedia .1 No doubt this indicates a trend. But how is this growth achieved? Foreign Policy attributes Islamic growth to its presence in the world’s fastest-growing countries and the influx of Muslim immigrants into Europe, “The worlds [sic] largest Muslim populations are in fast-growing countries such as Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Egypt, and Iran. Islam also happens to be the fastest-growing religion in Europe, where an influx of Muslim immigrants from North Africa, Turkey, and South Asia has sent shock waves into a mostly Christian and secular population whose birthrates have stagnated.” 1 I lived in Bahrain (Arabian Peninsula) for a good number of years.
