There all kind of people coming to Islam. There is some that even converts it huge masses ( 20+ people). It’s the fastest growing religion in the UK and USA. Just visit you tube. How is that a religion that is put down in the media constantly is the most popular choice today?
Cite your sources for your claims….and no, Youtube is not a source.
The last time I checked the data underlying the "fastest growing" claim, the source was from the 1990s – way out of date. At that time, most studies cited a higher birthrate among muslims for the growth rate of Islam, not conversion.
The last time I saw any population data about Islam, it was from the UN and indicated that the Muslim birthrate has slowed considerably, especially in the west, where the birthrate in established (not new immigrant) communities slows over time, until it nearly matches the birthrate of the native population.
@Muslimgirl, did you really just say that the Bible is not written in a language, but was written in English by Greeks?
Wow.
Because when people actually learn about Islam on their own rather than just listening to the media, they see a completely different perspective than the one envisioned by the Taliban or American media. As far as I’m concerned, western media is the opposite of fruitful education.
Mainstream media talks about how inmates in prisons across the US turn to Islam. But what it doesn’t teach is that their conversion to Islam is actually encouraged by the prison itself because it makes them more peaceful inmates.
It also encompasses more than most westerners think it does. Islam teaches that many cultures and many time periods have recieved many messengers with revelation from God.
Most Americans don’t know what the world looks like or even how people think outside their border. Unfortunately, the media is the only window most Americans look through to the global community and for the most part they’re full of crap.
People are talking about prophecy of being mislead and it’s the media that has done such a great job that the very people who keep reminding us about these prophecies are the ones who fall for it the most.

So what exactly is your point? The Bible tells us that MANY will be deceived. So you can have your popularity, because in the end, it’s not going to matter when Christ returns.

IT IS NOT THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION AMONG WESTERNERS. WHITE PEOPLE HATE ISLAM. ONLY MUSLIMS HAVE A LOT OF KIDS. THEY ARE LESS THAN 2 % AND IN AMERICA THERE ARE MORE HINDUS, BUDDHISTS, ATHEISTS THAN MUSLIMS. IT IS FALSE PROPAGANDA AND PLEASE STOP SPREADING IT.

Mainly because of immigration and the fact that Islam encourages people to breed like rats. They’re worse than Catholics. It’s not actual converts so much as the ignorant masses popping out a few more hellspawn brats and labeling them Muslims before their tiny brains can make a choice on their own.
<edit> Ugh. Did I just agree with Ann Coulter? I need a shower.

It’s extremely, extremely easy to convert.
Recite a paragraph worth of Arabic in front of two Muslims, and you’re officially a Muslim.

the reason why that some christian are converting because,they probably found out that the bible i not written in a language , its written in english ,and it came from the greeks not god. in the quran its written in arabic.

I could believe it. Intellectualism has been dumbed-down in America for over 60 years of public education and political correctness, and Christian fascism. Christianity’s intolerance forces its members to leave their faith and seek spiritual guidance among other faiths. Unfortunately, they want that perfect religious fix that gives them a sense of power over another human being. Change someone’s job in your church and see if they stay a member. Why? Because you took their power base away and made them lose face in the pecking order of the church. Now in retribution, they will align themselves against the church by becoming a member of Islam. They are going to show you just whose side God is really on!

In the west it’s purely because of immigration and the fact that, at least in the UK, religion of all other kinds has been declining for at least the last century.

Bismillah.
Yes. Try which ever way you can to deny this. Still conversion / reversion to Islam will not stop.
Sheikh Yusuf Estes helped 130 people making shahada at one time. You know what happened after 9/11, more Americans revert to Islam. Also in Europe
TV Report: 40,000 Hispanics in America converted to ISLAM after 9/11
http://www.casttv.com/video/7ns6ly/tv-report-40-000-hispanics-in-america-converted-to-islam-after-9-11-video
This is from:
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4d1_1186010536
CNN –"More And More People are Turning to Islam, especially after 9/11. September 11 has led to the media giving Islam a lot of attention. Although, the media has mostly reported negatively about Muslims and Islam, it has made people research about Islam. This has led to many to find the Truth about Islam and More..readily accept it as their faith."
——————————————-
Curiosity spawned by 9-11 leads some Latinos to convert to Islam
http://thetruereligion.org/modules/testimonies/item.php?itemid=202
"What has become evident since the 9-11 attacks is the number of Latinos — especially women — converting to Islam is growing rapidly, particularly in cities with large Latino populations such as New York, Los Angeles, Houston and San Antonio.
"So much information about Islam was coming out after 9-11," said Yousef Said, the imam, or leader, of the Islamic Center of San Antonio.
"People wanted to know for themselves what Islam was about, and when they heard the truth, they started believing in the religion," Said said.
———————————-
So, when you ask "How is Islam the fastest growing religion in the west?
The answer is "CURIOSITY".
The more you talk that negative about Islam, the more Allah the Almighty will open people’s heart toward Islam. Spread hate toward Islam. People will be more curious. And this thing will lead them to the truth about Islam.
Salaam.

you are very true people convert to islam because they want to know what real islam is all about and disregard anything else such as politics and stuff just PURE ISLAM in ITS TRUE FORM and when people read about islam form the right sources its a perfect absaloute religion . you only worship 1 god no anything or any 1 else and also you submit to allah and thats it simple and the quran has all the facts on how a humans can better themselves and become close to god and achieve paradise. when you compare islam to other religions you will understand why its the most popular chioce for people . in islam the quran also states that there will be a time that islam will be the religion where many people will return to as muslims believe we are alll born muslims , and that it will beocme so obvious that islam is the truth that it will manifets itself in your soul and you cant deny that isalm is he true religion and thats whats been happening people have jsut been attracted to islam and god will guide many more people its doesnt benefit god that you worship him alone but it will deffinetly benefit you in the end . simple

Many people who look for the truth find errors in every religion except Islam.
The media and especially American media tries to make Islam look bad because they fear it.
They know it is the fastest growing religion and they fear that everyone might turn out muslim.
They try to make islam look cruel but islam teaches peace. The whole religion is peace.
And remember you should not look at muslims. Because for instance I don’t judge christianity because of some bad christians. Every religion has it’s bad people. But you should try to get to know islam better. You have nothing to lose, only things to gain

Holy Quran 13:17
"He sends down water from the skies, and the channels flow, each according to its measure: but the torrent bears away the foam that mounts up to the surface. Even so, from that (ore) which they heat in the fire, to make ornaments or utensils therewith there is a scum likewise. Thus doth Allah (by parables) show forth Truth and Vanity: For the scum disappears like froth cast out; while that which is for the good of mankind remains on the earth. Thus doth Allah set forth parables. (17)"
You can’t keep people in the dark forever .the truth always comes out ,and when it does people will follow it.

Because more criticism leads to more enthusiasm to study and analyze the subject criticized . And proper study of Islam cannot make you away from its overwhelming ideologies and makes you bound to accept it’s guidance . and tell that almighty is one and only.

Because what the media says and what is true are two totally different things. The media try’s to portray us as terrorists and worse but truly, we are not. Islam is the right way. More and more people are converting as they find this out.
Most people just "go with the flow" and don’t even think about looking into it. They just believe what the media wants them to believe. That is the common mistake.
Islam is the only religion without errors
Truth dominates. Islam IS the true religion and all the proof you want/need can be found in the Holy Quran

I suppose that the message of Islam must be possitive. But the islamic societies starting for Saudi Arabia……., are quite far of the human rights for people, they are full of fanatics, etc….
For other hand, islamic terrorists…….
They are religious naziolists, then……no problem to lie about a lot of things to their populations, they are using their religion as tool for their intentions…?. Maybe
Well, I think so.
