Amazing Conversion Statistics


Assalamu'alaykum !


According to Dan Rather and Mike Wallace on 60 minutes, they mentioned that Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the US and in the World. Wallace said that by the year 2300, one out of every three Americans is going to be a Muslim. 1 out of 3!


Already 1.4 billion people out of 6 billion in the world are Muslims. The fastest-growing religion in the army, air force, navy, coast guards, even the prison system, is Islam.


During the Gulf War in 1991, over 8,000 US forces converted to Islam, many of whom were stationed at base camps in Saudi Arabia. 35% of them were white; 16% of them were women.


Why is this happening? Why are people becoming Muslims? There are various reasons as to why a person becomes a Muslim. Some people accept Islam because:


-They think Islam is a religion of Black people until they realize that Muslims come in various colour, creed and ethnic background.

-Some people view Islam like a gang and they want protection, especially the men in jail.

-Some people believe that this way of life takes you out of being oppressed

-Some people simply want to marry a Muslim. Salaam.
