That's why I used the word "major" in my orginal statement; " Islam is the fastest growing major religion in the world".Islam has turned to terrorism because their religion is outdated. Once the dominant power in the world, since the 15th century it has been sliding into obscurity. To try and make up for their own inadequacies they attack others.
Simple as that.
Islam is the fastest growing major religion in the world.
At 1.2 billion adherents, it is hardly sliding into obscurity.
A search of the internet turns up something interesting. Depending on how you measure it, islam may or may not be the fastest growing religion. Using %'s, might be true, using number of new converts- no it isn't.
Interesting to note that in 2004 if one uses the percentage method, wiccan was the fastest growing religion in North America.
Interwesting to note that Jehova's Witnesses have claimed to be the fastest growing church in the world for over a hundred years.
Interesting to note that every religion seems to claim they are the fastest growing at one time or another.
By major religion, I basically mean religions that have around a billion adherants. Such as Buddhism, Christianty, Hinduism, and Islam.
