I am the OP and I am also the one who made the statement about Islam's growth and conversion rate. I am not close to Muslima and I do not know her offline. I have never communicated with her before all this began. But I agree with her for the most part. She's represented well on this and the other Islam thread. She is very knowledgeable and, just as a good Muslim should be, she never lost her temper. Too bad I'm not so good. lol [b]But I stand behind my statements about conversion. [/b]I thought we addressed this on the other thread pages and pages ago. Yet here we are again, revisiting this topic.

How can you stand behind your statements on conversion if you didn't bring any evidence to support it?

It's OK if you say "this is my opinion," you know.

What evidence did you bring that Islam in the U.S. grows more by conversion THAN by immigration. Muslim immigration to the U.S. is about a hundred thousand a year.  We've established that, doing your work for you.

Now, all you have to do is show some sources than conversions to Islam in the U.S. are at over a hundred thousand a year. Simple.  Post something and people will leave you alone.[/quote]

Agree completely. The figure for 100,000 Muslim immigrants per year is backed by solid evidence from a survey of more than 8,000 immigrants (a fantastic sample in the world of statistics) by Princeton, NYU, Yale and RAND, all of which are highly-respected research organizations.

The figure of 25,000 converts per year comes from an evangelical organization that has a vested interest in inflating the numbers. Since none of us here are evangelicals (despite your many claims that we are evangelicals), I don't think we need to simply accept your number of 25,000 converts, which
(a) we have good reason to suspect might be inflated, 
(b) for which no methodological support exists, because 
(c) nobody, repeat nobody, collects data on the number of converts to Islam.
Also, (d) we need to offset the convert figures for people who leave Islam every year for atheism or other religions.

Also. You claimed on the other thread that there will "soon be a Muslim on every block and even in every household."   Per the PP at 22:51 on this thread, Muslims make up about 2.4% of the US population.  Another PP asked you to define "soon" and I'll add my request to hers.[/quote]
