I Beg to Differ

I would like to start off by assuring readers that I AM a Muslim, and I DO have something to say about this.

Firstly, no matter where you look, you will find that Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the United States. Secondly, about your claim of Muslim hostility being "hurled" at Americans, who's the one picking fights in Afghanistan and trying to get into other countries like Pakistan to do the same?

And last, but most certainly not least, Islam does NOT need propaganda to get people to convert. If you claim movies like this are propaganda, then what about "From Jesus to Christ"? If all the "latest" scholars had something to say, how accurate is their information? How close to the time period can they get? And why could that not be considered propaganda?
