    They have gone too far by forcing uninformed children into religion, worst yet not allowing them free will. There should be some universal law all nations must follow, but the elitist want the world in enslavement anyhow.

    I think there are minority tribes in China that are Muslims, China and India are vast countries, not surprising.

    It's suprising to see so many muslims trying to get into places like the US and Europe. If Islam was so great why wouldn't they want to stay in their countries.

    Maybe because Islam is so great, so they are unselfishly going to those heretic countries trying to spread the good news......

    We must respect them for the unselfish work that they are doing, fancy going to a country with near naked women on the beaches. Not covered up properly. What's more, the staple breakfast of bacon and eggs , yucks this is definitely not halal......really a lot of sacrifices that they had made.

    Its fair to say also, South America, Spain, Italy, England, France, Australia, Has always really been Catholic, and with 90% of populations being Catholic. I hardly think it will change anytime soon.

    The biggest growing believe is believe it or not; ATHEISM.

    Frankly this is a very profound question which I had thought about and am still thinking. This is something that would not be easily answered by anyone anywhere.

    Muslims are there because US and European countries have shortage of skilled people. And they are in US and European countries to Learn and earn.
    Islam is good , no doubt in that but some Muslims are not good because they don't understand Islam well and call themself good Muslims:(

    It might be right because Islam is now the biggest religion in the world.

    Do any of you listen?

    Christianity is a monotheistic[1] religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament.[2] As of the early 21st century, it has between 1.5 billion[3][4] and 2.1 billion adherents,

    = BIGGEST RELIGION.

    Islam is the biggest practised religon. Most Christians don't practise their religion. Chris, Islam has 1.8 billion adherents so it is very close.

    Christianity makes up for 33% of the worlds population.

    Also there aren't 1.8, It said between 1.2 and 1.8.

    Between 1.2 and 1.8 and Christianity 1.5 to 2.1 you could say they were almost equal and with Islams growing rate somewhat like a Rocket it is a rocky forecast for Christianity.

    Here are some interesting facts I found on google:)

    The growth rate of Islam, according to the U.S. Center for World Mission, at 2.9% is higher than the 2.6% growth rate of the world's population. Thus, the percentage of Muslims in the world is growing on the order of 0.6% per year.

    Futurist John Gary stated in 1997 that Islam is the fastest-growing of the major world religions. This is driven by the higher birth rates in the third world.

    Barrett & Johnson's estimated in an article in the International Bulletin of Missionary Research that the number of Muslims would grow from 1.22 billion in the year 2000 to 1.89 billion by 2025.

    Author Samuel Huntington predicts that "Muslims in the world will continue to increase dramatically, amounting to 20 percent of the world's population about the turn of the [21st] century, surpassing the number of Christians some years later..."

    Author Samuel Huntington predicts that Islam will overtake Christianity early in the 21st century. By the year 2025, Islam will have 5% more adherents than will Christianity.

    The U.S. Center for World Mission estimated in 1997 that Christianity's total number of adherents is growing at about 2.3% annually. This is approximately equal to the growth rate of the world's population. Islam is growing faster: about 2.9% and is thus increasing its market share. At this rate, Islam would surpass Christianity as the world's main religion by 2023 CE.

    Most Christian sources predict that Christianity will retain its numerical lead over Islam beyond the year 2025. For example, futurist John Gary stated in 1997: "In no probable statistical scenario reaching out to the year 2200, does Islam surpass Christianity in absolute number of adherents."

    It seems they are both neck and neck.
