Found it interesting to know the figures of the world muslim population :
'We have gathered all the data from authentic sources and calculated the muslim population in each countries and ultimately in the five continents.
We think that in some countries the total number of Muslims are more in percentage than shown in general sources, like in China and India. For all those few above cases Islamic Sources, news items and thought provoking articles came in great help. Our reasearch shows that the total Muslim Population is 1.84 billion in year 2007.'
The close companions of Allaah's Messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon him) were only a few hundreds, maybe in the thousands max. Yet through them Islaam spread over half of the world, from Spain all the way to China while they were still alive! Yet today we have a billion yet we're not worth anything, since we're not quality..
Like Ibn ul Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The rulers are a product of their people.
To be honest. At this point in time, less population growth would be a better thing for the Muslims world. It would be a sign that these countries are finally developing, with less widespread poverty.
Scientology is not a religion, it is cult, and its population only indicates the number of people who are fanatically enthralled by Hollywood, in which case 500 thousand is not surprising. The fact that people are converting to this cult in America shows the level of intelligence in that country as being quite alarming.
Would you kindly tell me what Scientology has to do with this thread, my good man?
Well.. I can't honestly say it bears directly on the discussion, but it does go to the question of growth rates of Religions.
Why does it have to be some kind of horse race? Wouldn't true adherents be content internally that they had found the world's true religion? Why do they need the external verification of a head count?
As Religion is fundamentally about faith..and faith is something within one's being...what does it matter how many others believe?
