BUT I have never said islam is the fastest growing cult in the USA.

You are wrong in that Islam is spreading in the US at a rate which alarms the US Christians. As you say later on this increase is due to immigration, legal or otherwise. That is partly true. But consider who convert to Islam. Those who have been oppressed, socially and economically. In the US Islam has a large following amongst the African Africans. In South Asia, it has a wide following amongst those who were kept socially depressed via the caste system etc. In Africa it is spreading too becuase of their poverty, or rather because of the wide gap between the haves and the have nots.

So lorne, I am not denigrating Islam but discussing how religions spread and why they spread to societies they spread to.
