Islam is not. Claims that Islam is spreading in America rapidly is flawed as it relies on percentage increase. As there are very few Muslims in America any increase by Immigration has a large affect in percentage terms. The reason for this increase is immigration and not conversions. Cause Islam has good answers and it's not to expalin to people. Try to explain TRINITY to a non-christian!
The word "Islam" itself means "Submission to Allah." The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of "Christianity" which was named after Jesus Christ, "Buddhism" after Gutama Buddha , "Marxism" after Karl Marx, and "Confucianism" after Confucius. Similarly, Islam is not named after a tribe like "Judaism" after the tribe of Judah and "Hinduism" after the Hindus. The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the will of the only true god worthy of worship, "Allah" (known as God "the Father" in Christianity). Anyone who does indeed submit to the will of Allah as required by Islam is termed a "Muslim," which means one who has submitted to the will of Allah. Many people in the West have developed the sad misinformed trend of calling Islam "Muhammadenism" and it's followers "Muhammadins." This is a totally foreign word to Muslims and unrecognized by them. No Muslim has ever called his religion "Muhammadenism" or called himself a "Muhammadin
There is no force in religion (Islam). That is because people are waking up and starting to see the truth about Islam. i advise you to watch some dialogues between Muslims and Christians (if you are a Christian) to see how Islam is different from Christianity. (Muslim speaker Ahmet Deedat). Or go to http://www.islamia.com/what_is_islam.htm and learn what Islam indeed is. Muslims are following the same way. The terrorism, or other names are not in Islam. Islam is against terrorism. The people who understands this point they accept Islam. That is why it is a fast growing religion today. It was a fast growing religion in the past too.

Because of its logic, truthfulness, authenticity, and scientific miracles demonstrated in many Quran scientific statements that its validity had been proved just by recent scientific discoveries and findings.
Answer 1
The territories under Islamic control are generally the poorer, so-called "developing," world and the people there have much higher birthrates that those in the developed industrial parts of the world.
Answer 2
Studies attribute the growth of Islam today to "High birthrates in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe" among the Muslim populations. In terms of growth by conversions, Islam ranks very poorly with an average annual conversions growth of 800,000 compared to 2,300,000 converts to Christianity.
Answer 3
There are so many factors contributing to this growth. More and more people, especially amongst non-Muslims, who are making an effort to find out and learn more about Islam, the religion. People are curious to find out as to what really make the religion worth studying. Fanaticism aside, people are beginning to realise that Islam is really a religion of peace, after studying the Holy Qur'an in its entirety (as opposed to fragmentation). The Qur'an acts a guide to all mankind as to the proper way of life, both as individuals, groups, state or nation. People suddenly became interested in Islam and its teachings. Hence its growth rate is even much faster than the growth of Christianity and other world religions.
Answer 4
Because, brothers n sisters worldwide are finding PEACE in Islam, Islam is PEACE.
The Qur'an spiritually, and mentally wakes you up. Out of all the religions Islam is the one and only religion that has science, women's rights, KNOWLEDGE and fairness out of all the religions.
Answer 5
The reasons are too many, I'll tell you some:
- because this religion addresses all the people all over the world & it's the last message from God to all mankind (universal message) & anyone can be Muslim.
- because all the teachings of this religion are near to the mind & the heart at once.
- because science serves this great religion leading many people including scientists convert to Islam due to the scientific facts mentioned in both the Holy Qur'an & Al-Sunnah (The Prophet' sayings) from the 7th century, while they are recently discovered or proved.
- The Holy book of Islam (The Holy Qur'an is great in many fields, refer to the related question below.
Answer 6
The statistics on Western Conversion to Islam are taken out of context.
Multi-culturalism in the West has allowed Islam to come to various countries and expose new people to its religion. We would see the same going on in Islamic Countries if they were open to multi-culturalism. However, many Muslim-majority countries it is either by law or by de facto societal conduct that conversion out of Islam to other religions (such as Christianity) is forbidden and punishable by death. No Muslim-majority country has established legislation protecting Apostates. Several, such as Iran and Saudi Arabia use the government to enforce the Apostasy Crimes, but many more do not interfere when tribal or regional groups execute a supposed Apostate. On top of that, proselytization of these non-Muslim faiths is also punishable by long jail terms. As a result, Muslims who realize the Truth of other religions are few and far between and those who would admit to doing so are even rarer. Islam can afford to wait until the majority of people make the choice to convert, because once you join, you can't leave, which leads to consistent positive growth. This is augmented by the fact that the Muslim world has some of the highest population growth rates and a much younger population than western countries, leading to a large outward emigration.
Compare this to Western countries where conversion out of Christianity is barely even a consideration among other Westerners and certainly not something worth killing over.
It is unclear whether Islam is actually spreading rapidly, although it is undoubtedly growing.
Some reasons for this growth are:
The main reason for Islam's growth is high birth rates among Muslims, not mass conversion. In places where the threat of violence for leaving Islam is less pronounced, roughly the same number of people leave Islam as enter it. Additionally, the majority of converts to Islam leave the religion within two years, making the growth through conversion mostly facial.
Fellow Expert Dick Harfield's views on this reflect my own and I restate his points in full as well.
2011 Islam should be the first biggest religion for now its the second
The Arabs and Muslim have contributed immensely to the spread of Islam by spreading it to other continents such as Africa. A Muslim is a practitioner of Islam, so if Muslims did not exist, Islam would no longer be practiced (just like the Ancient Greek Religion with Zeus is no longer practiced). The Arabs were the first Muslims and were responsible for spreading Islam throughout North Africa and the Middle East.
Ramadan is a holy month in Islam so one of the five pillars of Islam is to fast during this month.
Islam tells us to believe that there is no God but Allah and the Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is his servant and Messenger. Islam tells us to pray 5 times everyday at specific times. Islam tells us to give charity to the needy and the poor. Islam tells us to fast during the month of Ramadhan. Islam tells us to visit the Ka'bah at Makkah at least once if you are able to do so. Islam tells us to follow the Quran [the Holy Book] and the Sunnah [Muhammad P.B.U.H's teachings]. If you follow these commandments with sincerity and only for the sake of God then it is guaranteed by God himself that you will reach Paradise/Heaven.
Yes, Alhmdllah (thank God), Islam is growing so fast, it is near to being the world's largest religion.
It is Satelite so it sees when it moves and how fast it moves
so it doesn't spread to the us and then we would lose our allies
Go near other people. Their bodies were just piled once they died, it was spreading so fast.
the united states prison system. about 70% of Americans who converted to Islam did so in prison.
I think that when Mansa Musa converted, so did his followers, and then so did the conquered regions of the Mali empire, and then the religoun kept spreading. It influenced it because they adopted their customs, such as the pilgrimage to mecca, called the Hajj.
Islam, despite all the negative media, is one of the biggest world religions, second only to Christianity. zath- Islam is acually the forth biggest religions, behind buddism, Christianity, and athiesim.
He had to face many problems in spreading the message of Islam. He and his followers were tortured, maltreated, insulted and physically manhandled. So mush so that they had to migrate to Madina Munawara. Even there they were attacked many times.
Well the majority of population are muslims so Islam.
