[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it is as rare as you think that people converting to another relegation. Look at the map where Islam currently spreading that include large area of Europe and US. So place of birth is not that relevant, especially in this days of global mobility.[/quote]

Islam is spreading outside of traditionally muslim countries because of emigration, not religious conversion.[/quote]

And high birth numbers.[/quote]
wrong. African American Muslims make up a large portion of American Muslims. Do you still consider slave descendants emigrants?
Islamic birth rates are declining or stagnating. Why do you post when you don't know what the truth is?

The rate of growth in Islam declining compared to it's rate of growth previously, yes, but it still is much greater than other religions thus it's growth is as well.

While Wikipedia is not the end all be all of info, it does have very interesting info on this topic.

Some snippets:
Muslim population growth refers to the topic of population growth of the global Muslim community. In 2006, countries with a Muslim majority had an average population growth rate of 1.8% per year (when weighted by percentage Muslim and population size).[1] This compares with a world population growth rate of 1.12% per year.[2] As of 2011, it is predicted that the world's Muslim population will grow twice as fast as non-Muslims over the next 20 years. By 2030, Muslims will make up more than a quarter of the global population.[3]

Several sources believe that the growth of Islam is due mainly to conversion and reproduction.[33][34] In the period 1990–2000, approximately 12.5 million more people converted to Islam than to Christianity.[35] According to the New York Times, an estimated 25 percent of American Muslims are converts.[36] In Britain, around 6,000 people convert to Islam per year and according to a June 2000 article in the British Muslims Monthly Survey the bulk of new Muslim converts in Britain were women.[28] As apostasy is punishable by death in certain countries, there is no reliable data on the number of Muslims who convert to other faiths or abandon their own faith.[37]
