According to a Chicago University study, around 300 to 400 people convert to Islam every day, in the US. Over the last few years, Muslim population has increased 235% in Europe. How come so many people convert to Islam when it is percieved as an extremist ideology.
And out of the people who convert to Islam in the US, 70% are Women, and mostly single women. Why do 'independent' women, belonging to the most 'democratic' and 'free' society where women are the most liberated in the World, convert to a religion that is percieved to be suppressing women and not offering them any rights?

Islam is indeed the fastest growing religion of the world because it is the only religion which caters for all times and all people.If you people study the history of the religions you will come to know that only islam is the religion which right from the beginning was open for all mankind.Judaism came only for jews,likewise same is the case of christianity because jesus was himself a jewish person.It was st.paul who started preaching christianity to gentiles.Moreover jesus didn't bring any new religion he was sent to purify the judaism thats all.most of the teacings of christianity were formed by st.paul and peter and not the jesus himself.
Islam is a simple religion and it does not believes in myths.It respects all the messengers of God and praise them as true prophets.There are a lot of points we can give in favour of islam but to end my discussion i would say that indeed it is a true religion that people all over the world are attracted towards it.I think all those people who are striving to find the true path should study islam but here is an advice that don't read any book written by man in the beginning coz man is a victim of prejudice,get an authentic translation of Quran from an islamic center and read it for yourself.
