the tides are turning in that although the western bodies are succeding in corrupting muslim minds, there are alot of new converts undoing the western's hard work.SashatheMan said:what the fuk do you mean the tides are turning? the only way that islam is winning is by the amount of suicide bombers they are using. I dont see how the tides are turning .
Where do you base this evidence of new converts on? Islam is growing because of births, not new converts.veterandoggy said:the tides are turning in that although the western bodies are succeding in corrupting muslim minds, there are alot of new converts undoing the western's hard work.
and i know that the events havent happened yet, but it is nice to keep remembering.

This is to be expected.so you havent heard of the boom of converts post 9/11? i thought you guys listen to some sort of media, hence hanging around this section of the forum.
That does shit all to prove conversions over births.last_chance said:http://www.religioustolerance.org/worldrel.htm
please visit this and look at the yellow table. In the fifth column you'll be pleased to know that Islam is the fastest growing religion, whereas it seems to me that others are stable or decreasing dramatically.
you cant use births to prove anything. christianity has more people, and hence more births would be expected from them.withoutaface said:That does shit all to prove conversions over births.
Wrong. It's also dependent upon the cultures in which these religions exist, for example the birth rate per person in a country like Australia would probably be a lot lower than somewhere like Africa.veterandoggy said:you cant use births to prove anything. christianity has more people, and hence more births would be expected from them.
But when you make arguments like waf is making, you're not talking about numbers, you're talking about percentages. Saying "Group 1 had 10 million births in the last period while group 2 had 8 million births" is meaningless when you dont take into consideration the relative size of each group. Its similar to which religion is growing the fastest. The percentage of increase of Islamic people is larger than the percentage of increase of Christian people. This doesnt mean that Islam increased by a larger number than Christians.veterandoggy said:you cant use births to prove anything. christianity has more people, and hence more births would be expected from them.
no it means that the amount of people converting to islam is greater to the amount of people converting to christianity. i think we are far away from out-populating christians, but we are increasing.acmilan said:But when you make arguments like waf is making, you're not talking about numbers, you're talking about percentages.

I dont remember the source, but I collected this data when doing in religion in yr 11 (3 years ago), and I cant guarantee the validity, but it does agree with estimates. If its anything to go by then, by your definition, Christianity is increasing faster than Islam, since Christianity increased by a larger amount than Islam in 1990-2000, even though Islam increased at a faster rate.veterandoggy said:no it means that the amount of people converting to islam is greater to the amount of people converting to christianity. i think we are far away from out-populating christians, but we are increasing.
Most would say true choice is no where near achieved.Conversions or statistics, lets say that birth rate was the factor that contributes to the accelerated rate. Those born into that religion have obviously chosen to stay in that religion.
