I'm not embarrassed at all about the numbers I posted. I didn't address that because I was busy answering the other misleading information you and others were posting. Islam IS the fastest growing religion in the US and the conversion rate is rapid. I do believe the growth is mostly due to conversion, but I do not know if immigration has increased in the past few years. I tell you all this not to boast, but simply to let you know Muslims are here to stay. It makes no sense to carry so much hatred toward Muslims or Islam because one day you will not be able to avoid having to interact with Muslims. [/quote]
People like me? You don't know anything about me.   I'm interacting with a big Muslim, a little Muslim and a Muslim inside my uterus all day long. There's nothing about Islam you can tell me I haven't already heard, read or seen.  I grew up among them. But you have goggles on, and I don't.

I don't carry any hatred toward Muslims or Islam. I carry sarcasm and derision toward unsubstantiated claims - like the one you posted, that "Islam in the US grows more through conversion than through immigration" - and I'm not shy about showing it. You were pressed to show evidence for this. You posted BS numbers from an evangelical site that STILL showed Muslim immigration is FOUR TIMES HIGHER than Muslim conversions (which are not recorded, let's remind everyone again).

So, you "believe" growth is mostly due to conversion? Meaning you don't know?  You don't know if immigration increased in the last few years? Dude, there's way more information available about immigration than about conversion (the subject on which no facts exist.) You should have just said "this is my theory, I don't know if numbers support it", and people would have left you alone.   But you continued to claim you're right, and if only people weren't Islamophobic, they'd see that 25 is really higher than a hundred.

So let's have it out.  You said Islam in the US grows more through conversion than through immigration.   Is this your theory, or is this based on facts? If on facts, which facts?[/quote]
