Baby Boom? No. Muslim Boom!

According to a report published on October 8th, 2009, there are 1.57 Billion Muslims around the world, which means that 1 in 4 people practices Islam. This is definitely a 'Muslim' Boom!

For many years, the size of the Muslim population has been under constant overview, with estimations running the gamut anywhere from 1 Billion to 1.8 Billion. The report was from Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion and Public Life is the most thorough and varied of its type. It's taken them, approximately, 3 years to remove the curtain from this matter.



You may have expected to find most Muslims in the Middle East, but what is most surprising about this report is that, for instance, Germany far exceeds Lebanon in terms of the number of practicing Muslims; China has a greater Muslim population than Syria, and Russia has more than joran and Libya combined. What does that tell you about where Islam is nowadays? While the heart of Islam might be in the Middle East, there are far greater numbers of Muslims in Asia than the Middle East, and Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population - 203 million (13% of the world's total)!

Britain has 1,647,000 Muslims, about 2.7% of the UK population, and 0.1% of the global Muslim population.

According to most, Islam is the world's second largest religion behind Christianity, but most of those people might be leaning towards Islam in a few years, considering that Islam is progressing at an exponential rate.

Do you think within a few years Islam will dominate as the World's Largest Religion? Tell us what you think with a quick comment below!

    I don't really think that's it's a good idea for you Muslim guys to be in the majority...

    I mean, I read that you guys say rhat Africa will become the most powerful place ever one day... I don't see that really coming, how can you come-up with such crap?

    These days a good amount of girls convert from Islam to Christianity, wazzup with that?

    A rotation will take place, and I don't think that you muslims will succeed in that rotation.

    And, no it won't be a 60 degrees rotation! It will stop at 180, you guys will become a minority!!! At least that's what we guys and a lot of ahmediya friend of mine hope see...

    Btw, uhmmm don't take me wrong, but aren't ahmediyas also Muslim? You might refer them as the weird and crazy ones, but they also believe in Alaah nd a messenger!

    Abdullah and Edit Department, what you think of that, already got pain in the ass?

    @2:

    this secret report was published in several german newspapers , so its not a secret report anymore (widely findable on the internet)

    @3:

    What u state abt Africa is ur opinion, not a proven fact!

    According to u many muslim girls convert to Christianity , did u take a look how many christians convert to Islam?

    Ahmadiyya's do believe in Allah (swt) nd a messenger!

    But they see Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as their messenger, so that makes them non muslims ...

    @2 again:

    type 'Islam demographics' in Youtube , you will find more answers based on facts !

    Non muslims have a birth rate thats just too low to compete with the birth rate of muslims...

    Also the docu shows us that in order for a culture to survive they need a birthrate of 2.1 , they are way lower than tht 2.1 !

    How do you know what religion the next generation will practice? Why are you so 'us and them'? Is that how the spiritually enlightened talk?

    Although it may seem practical to predict the growth of Islam as it is the fastest growing religion in the world. However, one should focus on the benefits which he/she contributes to their religion such as studies.An individual should focus on improving their faith in God and becomming better people engaged with other faiths to improve dialogue between muslims and non muslims rather then prep talk about the future of Germany in 2050 grow up.
