Congradulations, Mansoor, and thank you for reading the whole article!

"Islam's rapid growth is mostly the resut of a higher birth rate, but Islam also wins more than it loses through conversions."

Gee, maybe that's because conversion out of Islam results in DEATH.

As a side note, Mansoor, you might turn this around in your mind - once someone believes in Jesus Christ, he is forever a member of God's family - even if he decides to convert out of Christianity, he never loses his position in Christ, his eternal life in God's Kingdom.

"And I [God] give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand." - John 10:28

Outside the Word of God, looking at the world situation, conversions OUT of Islam are punishable by death - the ONLY religion to harbor this is ISLAM - according to Shar'ia law, the law of ISLAM.

One has to wonder - if death was not the penalty for Muslims, how many WOULD convert to Christianity?

The ball's now in your court, Mansoor.
