Awesome photo!
Yet islam has pushed aside Roman Catholicism as the world’s largest religion.
If this is accurate, it is good news indeed!
Don’t fall for that crap, Islam is no more one single sect than Christianity is. More Sunnis, more Shiites, more Suffis? Its just a headline generator.
“After years of al-Qaeda war on Iraq, a similar phenomenon is growing. The New York Times March 4 reports: “After almost five years of war, many young people in Iraq, exhausted by constant firsthand exposure to the violence of religious extremism, say they have grown disillusioned with religious leaders and skeptical of the faith that they preach.” A high school girl tells Times reporters: “I hate Islam and all the clerics because they limit our freedom every day and their instruction became heavy over us. Most of the girls in my high school hate that Islamic people control the authority because they don’t deserve to be rulers.” A 19-year-old man says: “The religion men are liars. Young people don’t believe them. Guys my age are not interested in religion anymore.” A Baghdad law professor explains that her students “have changed their views about religion. They started to hate religious men. They make jokes about them because they feel disgusted by them.” A 24-year-old female college student says, “I used to love Osama bin Laden. Now I hate Islam. Al-Qaeda and the Mahdi Army are spreading hatred. People are being killed for nothing.”
It is awesome news.
In every hour how many new Moslems are born? How many in Europe alone? We are not winning.
Yet Evangelists + Catholics + Russian Christians = a lotta guys.
Let us welcome godd news for once ! :-)

Muslims Leaving Islam in Droves
Posted on Friday, April 04, 2008 by Renfield
Catholicism is but one denomination of Christianity as a whole. If you took Islam apart, you could say there are more Catholics than Shiites. Christians as a whole still outnumber Muslims as a whole. But that won’t last long because of the respective birthrates.
what’s the birthrate in South America and Africa?
Sorry, that was a recent article posted here on FR. I have not seen any articles comparing the raw number of Christians to muslims and whether or not the growth in Christianity overall eclispes that of islam.
I was sure you already posted it, but did not find it.
Good question, but I don’t have the stats on that.
Father God, I pray for Magdi Allam and other Muslims
who have found their salvation through faith in the
cross that Your Son, the Lord Jesus, bore as punishment
for the sins on the world.
I pray that You will supernaturally protect them from
the evil one. I pray that You will supernaturally allow
their light to shine, bringing other Muslims and non
believer’s to an eternal faith in the resurrection power
offered by Jesus’ sacrifice because of His profound
love for us.
In Jesus name...
Found this:
