Ever wonder why?

With all the hate that commenters claim Islam preaches, ever wonder why Islam is still growing? Ever wonder how a religion that some of the commenters claim to be evil, inspired science, math, astronomy, and other advances? If you don't believe me, the numbers you use everyday, came from people who followed the so called "evil religion." The greatest library ever build was established and taken care of by Muslims until it was distroyed by war. Before Islam, Arabia was full of ignorance, intolerence, the poor were left poorer, and the weak was kicked aside. Perhaps Arabia was the most ignorant nation on earth before Islam came. Read your history books. After Islam, the most backwards people of this earth, the Arabs, became the world's leading authority in various sciences and mathematics. The keyboard I am using to type this is full of letters that came from the Arabic language. After Islam, the weakest nation became the biggest empire the world has ever seen; forget the Roman or British Empire.

So, do you ever wonder how that was possible? Doesn't the Bible say that evil shall not prevail?

Well, if Islam is so evil, how did it prevail, and why is it still prevailing? Muslims still controll the most important thing people need; Oil. Muslims are still increasing. So take a second and just wonder why.
