The abject failure of Muslim evangelism

Submitted by Neville Barnes (United Kingdom), Aug 12, 2015 at 17:33

The Pew survey tells us, "Statistical data on conversion to and from Islam are scarce. What little information is available suggests that there is no substantial net gain or loss in the number of Muslims through conversion globally; the number of people who become Muslims through conversion seems to be roughly equal to the number of Muslims who leave the faith."--http://www.pewforum.org/2011/01/27/future-of-the-global-muslim-population-related-factors/#Conversion

Can we therefore conclude that the Saudis pumped $70 billion into evangelism in America and achieved a net result of zero converts?

And can we also conclude that for every incarcerated thug who recognises Muhammad as a kindred spirit, someone rather more civilised has walked out of a mosque and never returned?
