Do you know what the fastest growing religion in America is? It isn't Christianity. According to the latest U.S. Religion Census that was just released on May 1, 2012, the fastest growing religion in America is Islam. The data for the census was compiled by the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies, and the results were releasedby the Association of Religion Data Archives. From the year 2000 to the year 2010, the census found that the number of Muslims living inside the United States increased by about 1 million to 2.6 million - a stunning increase of 66.7 percent. That is an astounding rate of growth. Meanwhile, most Christian denominations had rates of growth that were far below the overall rate of population growth in the United States, and some Christian denominations actually lost members. Sadly, when Barack Obama once said that " we are no longer a Christian nation" he wasn't too far off the mark. Christianity is rapidly losing influence and other religions such as Islam are rapidly gaining members and building new places of worship. As other major religions such as Islam continue to grow in the United States, it is inevitable that this will reshape America in many different ways in the years ahead.
So what about other religious groups?How did they fare according to the U.S. Religion Census?Well, the following are some of the growth rates for major religious organizations from the year 2000 to the year 2010....
Mormons: +45.5% Evangelical Protestants: +1.7% (far behind the overall rate of population growth)Catholics: -5.0%Mainline Protestants: -12.8% (an astounding decline)But it was Islam that experienced the most explosive growth.
According to Ihsan Bagby, a professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Kentucky, there wereabout 1,200 mosques in America back in the year 2000. According to this new census, there are now2,106.All over the United States we are seeing"mega-mosques"being constructed, and in many cases the funding is coming from overseas.
And these mega-mosques are not going unused. In some areas of the country, Islamic communities are experiencing absolutely explosive growth.The following example comes from a recent USA Today article...Imam Muhammad Musri, president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, saw growth explode by a whopping 473 percent in and around Orlando's Orange County, according to the RCMS study, and he thinks the growth is actually double the 10,000 new Muslims reported by the study. He said Muslim growth has been fueled by a wave of post-9/11 converts, American-born children of immigrants having kids of their own, and jobs in the booming medical industry. In central Florida, he said, Muslims are just following everyone else in search of "better weather, cheaper prices, cheaper homes."
A lot of this growth is being fueled by immigration. A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center back in 2007 discoveredthat 39 percentof all adult Muslims living in America were immigrants that had arrived in the United States since 1990.
This rapid influx of Muslims is reshaping communities all over America. For example, Muslim students now account forapproximately 10 percentof the total number of students in the New York City School District. And all over the country many school districtsare now changing their school calendarsto observe Islamic holidays.In fact, in Dearborn, Michigan football practices are actually scheduled around Ramadan. The following is from a Fox News article....In Dearborn, Mich., where schools are closed on both the day before and the day of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, the predominantly-Muslim football team has switched its two-a-day summer practice schedule to 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. during Ramadan, so that Muslim players -- who fast while the sun is up – won't be forced to practice in the heat without drinking water. The move received little backlash in Dearborn, because most of the football players are Muslims.Dearborn is located just outside of Detroit, and it contains one of the densest Arab communities outside of the Middle East. Each day, the local mosque's call to prayer can be clearly heard all over the city. Dearborn is a clear example of why we can no longer call America a "Christian nation".
But Islam is not the only non-Christian religion that is growing rapidly in America.The latest U.S. Religion Census found that non-Christian groups grew by 32 percent overall from the year 2000 to the year 2010.
Meanwhile, as I have written about previously,the decline of Christianity in Americais accelerating.Back in 1990, one survey found that86 percentof all Americans identified themselves as "Christian" of one sort or another.
Meanwhile, atheism and the "not religious" are experiencing huge gains in numbers. For example, the U.S. Census Bureau says that the number of Americans with "no religion" more than doubledbetween 1990 and 2008.Even many of those that still apply the label of "Christian" to themselves are not very committed. The latest U.S. Religion Census found that approximately 150 million Americans are not actively engaged with any religious community at all. That is nearly half of the population.
So America is changing.It is becoming less religious and it is becoming less Christian. What is your opinion about all of this?

Especially with the help of the liberals.

That may happen in the USA. But USA is not America.
In the rest of the Americas, Islam is not known, does not exist.
Islam is named only when we remember the demolition of the twin towers and Bin Laden.

Hint: it wasn't the Muslims, Jews, Mormons or any such groups. In fact, that group outnumbers all the other non-Christian groups combined.

Dear friend.
I do not want to hurt their susceptibility. I have nothing against the Koran.
Simply said it is a reality in this part of the world.
The name "United States of America" is because they are states of North America that are under the same law and flag. There are also the United States of Brazil. But America is composed of three continents.
United States of America is not America all (thankfully) Here in America there are people who do not kill, do not invent wars, which are not imperialists. USA is not America.
My respects.

ok USA is Africa

This is from wikipedia
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_to_be_the_fastest-growing_religion#Islam

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Islam is the world’s fastest-growing religion by number of conversions each year: Although the religion began in Arabia, by 2002 80% of all believers in Islam lived outside the Arab in 1990-2000. Part of the books quote can be seen online from this extract from Google Books. This was again shown in the 2005, 50th anniversary edition of Guinness Book of World Records, although the number of conversions was not mentioned this time.
In 1990, 935 million people were Muslims and this figure had risen to around 1.2 billion by the year 2000, meaning that around this time one in five people were followers of Islam. According to the BBC, a comprehensive American study concluded in 2009 the number stood at 1 in 4 with 60% of Muslims spread all over theAsian continent: A report from an American think-tank has estimated 1.57 billion Muslims populate the world - with 60% in Asia
The report was done by the Pew Forum Research Centre. The forum also projected that in 2010 out of the total number of Muslims in the world 62.1% will live in Asia.
However the report also included a statement saying While the global Muslim population is expected to grow at a faster rate than the non-Muslim population, the Muslim population nevertheless is expected to grow at a slower pace in the next two decades than it did in the previous two decades. From 1990 to 2010, the global Muslim population increased at an average annual rate of 2.2%, compared with the projected rate of 1.5% for the period from 2010 to 2030
The report also made reference to the fact that Muslims are estimated to make up 23.4% of the total global population in 2010 (out of a total of 6.9 billion people) and that by 2030 Muslims will represent about 26.4% of the global population (out of a total of 7.9 billion people).
The Pew report also highlights that there is in sufficient data available on religious conversion from its own findings given the complexities ofidentityand the difficulties of obtaining data:
Statistical data on conversion to and from Islam are scarce. What little information is available suggests that there is no substantial net gain or loss in the number of Muslims through conversion globally...

And for Athiesm, non-religious

The American Religious Identification Survey gavenon-religious groups the largest gain in terms of absolute numbers - 14,300,000 (8.4% of the population) to 29,400,000 (14.1% of the population) for the period 1990 to 2001 in the USA.
Reuters describes how a study profiling the "No religion" demographic found that the so-called "Nones", at least in the U.S., are the fastest growing religious affiliation category. The "Nones" comprise 33% agnostics, 33% theists, and 10% atheists.
A similar pattern has been found in other countries such as Australia, Canada and Mexico. According to statistics in Canada, the number of "Nones" more than doubled (an increase of about 60%) between 1985 and 2004.
In Australia, census data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics give "no religion" the largest gains in absolute numbers over the 15 years from 1991 to 2006, from 2,948,888 (18.2% of the population that answered the question) to 3,706,555 (21.0% of the population that answered the question). to 3,706,555 (21.0% of the population that answered the question). According to INEGI, in Mexico, the number of atheists grows annually by 5.2%, while the number of Catholics grows by 1.7%.

it is written, as we draw near to the end time, people will turn away from God and go after all manners of worship.... islam and satanism is one of 'em.

Only those who are destined for destruction would "embrace" a true religion of HATE like islam; a religion where you "pray hate" five times a day, and join the congregation of other potential haters every Friday to express your bitterness in Arabic language... Why on earth will a right thinkin person want to associate with A religion that produce the likes of osama bin Ladin, sadam husein, ayatola the mad guy, farook mutallab/boko haram fraternity Why!
The truth is this, Islam is nothin but the religion of a lunatic by a killer for the terrorists against the world.
