What is your view on this? Personally, I don't think Islam will take over Christianity as the world's biggest religion. People often claim that it will but I'm not so sure. It is true that Christianity is declining in western europe but it middle europe and eastern europe it is really strong. For example in Italy and Greece Christianity is really strong. People are saying that Islam will take over because of high birth rates. But, what about high birth rates in Latin America? Christianity is still incredibly strong in America and more people convert to Christianity than Islam every year.

People going to church in the UK has suddenly increased in 2010 and in China loads of people are becoming Christians there.

You hear all the hype about the people who are joining Islam but no one talks about the 1000's that walk away from it when they get to the Western world and realize that they can and no one can touch them. Also Islam developed in a world where they were in control, they had no competition. And anyone who criticized it did so only once, one way or another. Now they are under the spotlight and I personally doubt they can stand the heat.

Christians or should I say True Christians will not be here , as that is part of the great Tribulation. Man has been left to willow in his own desires as you can see clearly in today's society, starting here ,and in the rest of the developed Countries. Yes today we have taken God out of our Government, schools, private institutions, and our homes.. No one wants to hear or know about Religion. So yes Islam is the worst and a truthful sign of what is coming.



The fact that you see more Christians converted doesn't mean that they will Stay in the Church. Many are called , and few are Chosen. There are over 30,000 under ground churches in China today,

And the majority are pentecostal.



The world has forgotten the Lord Jesus Christ !

No.

And if they do, it will be a result of quick breeding. Christianity is practically eradicated from WE - but some people believe, that due to the excessive immigration of Muslims, Europe will soon have to adopt Islamic ideals (as white Europeans aren't procreating fast enough).

They tend to have higher birth rates, so they can probably grow numbers faster that way. I don't really see the appeal from the outside, frankly. I do know they're actively recruiting in our jails and prisons here and that is kind of scary to me.

Highly possible.

More children are born into Islamic families than Christian families and here in the UK we even allow the Muslim radicals to knock down our churches and cafes and build mosques in their place.

Not only that we financially support them and their families and allow them to recruit bombers from the streets.

We're nice like that!!

Islam is the fastest growing religion. Its a Beautiful religion, however some people do non-islamic things in the name of islam. And actually more people are converting to islam that to christianity. You should see the number ofmosquess in china. Wow, canada has a lot of muslims to! the least people could do is to educatethemselvess about islam :)

Absolutely not. On the contrary, Islam will disappear because it is absolute evil.

probably yes. muslim families seem to have more children than christian families. and it would appear muslim families are not as tolerant of their children deciding what religion they want to be as many christian families are

No. Because Christianity is not a religion but a relationship with God.

My concern would be that I knew the Lord as my personal savior and not what religion is the biggest.

2011-01-21 07:18:06 UTC
no chance,because their religion is based on sword and blood, and if they not busy killing each other they are busy getting killed by others,or killing themselvess to gain 72 virgins

It will be wise to talk more on spiritual growth, than numerical growth.

There's really not much time left, not in the scope of things, Christ has it all in order, all in control.

ISLAM IS SPREADING FASTER THAN YOU THINK.
