Hi taro,

the Fundamentalist Islam religion may be the fastest growing religion in prisons where people are generally very violent. But that is not the case in the U.S. in general. Here are more accurate statistics, although a few years old:
adherents.com

The fast growing religion by percentage is Deist at 717%, compared to Islam's 109%. The fastest growing religion in terms of number of people from 1990-2000 was Christianity, which added 8M, compared to Islam's 500K.

I've posted this info before. Islam is simply not the fastest growing religion in the U.S., although they may claim otherwise. One way to think about this is the birth rate in the U.S. since 76% of U.S. citizens are Christian and only .5% are Muslim, the birth rate alone would guarantee that Christianity grows faster than Islam in terms of number of people every year. And now with Muslim immigration at a standstill, their numbers have been even further supressed.

Now if you look at world growth rates, Christianity has platoed, primarily because Christian countries' growth rates have platoed. Muslim nation's growth rates are very high, which means their religion is growing very fast. Some people estimate that the Muslim religion will claim 30% of the world's population by the turn of this century and surpass Christianity as the world's biggest religion.

Let's hope moderate Muslims have won the war of ideas by then.
