Islam Attracts Converts by the Thousand, Drawn Before and After Attacks
By JODI WILGOREN Source: The New York Times: October 22, 2001, Monday
"Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America, a guide and pillar of stability for many of our people..." Hillary Rodman Clinton, Los Angeles Times, May 31, 1996, p.3
Famous people are affected too:

The fact now Americans and Western are converting by thousands to Islam (in US a rate of 100,000 a year), I don't think most of it is in the prisons like Mohammad Ali, but there is a great amount of conversion to Islam in American prisons and outside.

When i seen a newbie post that much, i began to think...Well done Edgy m8, i knew she was a copier.
Unless you are the same person posting on every website, it appears you're doing a copy and paste job. I thought this all seemed too much like an essay to be something typed in response to what has been said so far, especially seeing as most of your replies aren't even relevant to anyone elses.
Here are just a few sites I've found your last post on:

So are you Diana6, rinard, salim2?
After all, I have found 77 results on Google, which suggests that you're either a mass preacher, or a spammer. Maybe we are misinterpreting your intentions here, but I don't believe you have any interest in what we have to say, and think by pretending to sound knowledgeable, you're going to convert us.
Boosh and Checkmate!
Sorry to put it all in bold, just thought I'd try and grab everyones attention...atleast those who can be bothered to even go in this thread...
By the way, posting a horde of links with an opinion on a religion, no matter how non-instrusive it may be, qualifies as ANYTHING.
You were right about Buddhism not being a religion though; there are so many "followers" who are misguided about Buddhism, especially in Western society.
It's more than likely that anyone who believes they're a recent addition to Buddism has read a couple of quotes and ideals, thought "hey, I agree with this" and hence declared themselves a follower. Obviously morons.
We cay say there are so many sects, cults, religions, philosophies, and movements in the world, all of which claim to be the right way or the only true path to God. How can one determine which one is correct or if, in fact, all are correct? The method by which the answer can be found is to clear away the superficial differences in the teachings of the various claimants to the ultimate truth, and identify the central object of worship to which they call, directly or indirectly. Can we either claim that all men are Gods or that specific men were God or that nature is God or that God is a figment of man's imagination.
It may be argued that all religions teach good things so why should it matter which one we follow. I made some searching and I couldn’t find a sharp answer but I found something interesting stated in the Koran:
Creation-worship is the greatest sin that man can commit because it contradicts the very purpose of his creation. Man was created to worship Allah alone, consequently, the worship of creation, which is the essence of idolatry, is the only unforgivable sin. One who dies in this state of idolatry has sealed his fate in the next life. This is not an opinion, but a revealed fact stated by Allah in his final revelation to man
"Verily Allah will not forgive the joining of partners with Him, but He may forgive (sins) less than that for whom so ever He wishes"(Soorah An- Nisaa 4:48 and 116)
Buddha was a reformer who introduced a number of humanistic principles to the religion of India. He did not claim to be God nor did he suggest to his followers that he be an object of worship. Yet, today most Buddhists who are to be found outside of India have taken him to be God and prostrate to idols made in their perception of his likeness.
God revealed a holy book to Jesus called the Injeel, some parts of which may be still available in the teachings of God to Jesus in the New Testament. But this does not mean that the Bible we have today because it is not the original scriptures that were revealed by God. They underwent alterations, additions, and omissions. This was also said by the Committee charged with revising The Holy Bible (Revised Standard Version). This Committee consisted of thirty-two scholars who served as members of the Committee. They secured the review and counsel of an Advisory Board of fifty representatives of the co-operating denominations. The Committee said in the Preface to The Holy Bible (Revised Standard Version), p. iv, “Sometimes it is evident that the text has suffered in transmission, but none of the versions provides a satisfactory restoration. Here we can only follow the best judgment of competent scholars as to the most probable reconstruction of the original text.
The Committee also said in the Preface, p. vii, Notes are added which indicate significant variations, additions, or omissions in the ancient authorities (Mt 9.34; Mk 3.16; 7.4; Lk 24.32, 51, etc.).

The UK has always been known as a Christian nation, although is now becomming a lot more diverse. But when The British Empire was at its peak, it was most definately a Christian nation, and the head of state was female.
As she is now.
I can name many female Christian heads of state the UK has had.
I'm assuming UK is considered one of the three largest Christian countries in the world.
Anyway, if we're talking religion, having had Christians, Muslims and Jews mentioned here, why don't we include some more into the mix such as Sikh, Buddhist and Forest Fan?
Furious!
