Slapping down Michel once more

Submitted by Noah Wilk (United States), Mar 6, 2007 at 01:50

Well, it appears... Michel, has once again done 5 minutes of Googling and pretends to have done "research". [rolling my eyes] All I can say is, thank God Michel is not a researcher for anything important to mankind.

Michel trumpets the myth that Islam is the world's fastest growing religion. Since he asked to have his claim shot down, who am I to argue? :-)

Bottom line, Christianity is adding 2,883,011 converts every year from 1990 to 2000. Compare that to just 865,558 converts each year for Islam in the same time period. Christianity over that ten year period saw 3.33 times as many converts, and more than 2 million converts per year above the number of Muslim converts. I believe that rate of comparison is still accurate, from what sources I could find.

There is no question that there are far more Christians added to the planet every year than there are Muslims added.

Furthermore, look at the numbers of Muslims who are breaking away from the death cult of Islam and converting to Christianity:

Of course, Michel is compelled to trumpet propaganda on behalf of Islam because it's his pet closet "cause"...
