>Z, how so? >Growth in Islam constituents may be faster than Christian expansion because their birth rates are much higher than those in the West. However, by using the term "spreading", you make it sound like their spatial perspective is increasing as well. I don't think that's true. I think they are pretty much concentrated [and confined]in the ME, N. Africa and Southeast Asia with small subcommunities in Europe and N. America. On a longer time frame (last two-three centuries or so), Islam has "taken over" Southeast Asia (Malaysia and Indonesia, I believe are the two I've read about). Not to say that Christianity hasn't done similarly in other areas (Pentecostalism is HUGE in Africa), but Christians aren't blowing up trains in Madrid... -Z
