The dominat religion in the future?

When you read news papers, magazines/journals, and Internet sites you will find one common interesting truth about Islam and Muslims, and why other people fear about us and our peaceful religion. That was the fact that growth of Islam in the world will continue to increase dramatically.

Despite of the missionaries and NGO's working against Muslims and the whole Muslim community the growth rate is considerably giving a message to them. It is well known that in the USA and the whole world, Islam is the fastest-growing religion. The following are some observations on this phenomenon:

“Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America, a guide and pillar of stability for many of our people...” (Hillary Rodham Clinton, Los Angeles Times).1

“Moslems are the world’s fastest-growing group...” (The Population Reference Bureau, USA Today).2

“....Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the country.” (Geraldine Baum; Newsday Religion Writer, Newsday).3

“Islam, the fastest-growing religion in the United States...” (Ari L. Goldman, New York Times).4

"Muslims in the world will continue to increase dramatically, amounting to 20 percent of the world's population about the turn of the [21st] century, surpassing the number of Christians some years later..."(Author Samuel Huntington).5

This phenomenon indicates that Islam is truly a religion from God (Allah). It is unreasonable to think that people from different countries have converted to Islam without careful consideration and deep contemplation before concluding that Islam is true. These converts have come from different countries, classes, races, and walks of life. They include scientists, professors, philosophers, journalists, politicians, actors, and athletes.

You may believe when you are provided with facts from different sources. In my mind I have no doubt about the growth of Islam.
