I must say you Sister you are mistaken, once again.
In the USA, Canada and Europe, where the birth rate is lower, Islam is not the fastest growing religion.
Muslim's claim that their growth rate is 235 percent and 47 percent for Christianity. This statistic came from the Readers Digest Almanac and Yearbook 1983, and represents 235 percent increase over 50 years. Muslims always leave off the 50 year fact to make it appear they are going 235% every year. A simple review of the readers Digest study shows that the growth rate of Islam vs. Christianity is directly linked to the birth rate in Third World countries where Islam dominates and not actual conversions to each religion. Christianity has always been larger than Islam. These statistics from Readers Digest are over 20 years old. Further, I do not consider readers digest to be an authority on such matters. Why will Muslims not quote real authoritative statistics from certified research groups who show Islam is not the fastest growing religion in 3/4’s of the worlds countries.
Are you joking?
The average Muslims doesn't hold an objective view of the Qur'an and therefore knows no better, most Muslim scholars however (those who have escaped death threats)
know the Qur'an is a dud.
You see, Sister, you are a convert and so you are no more knowledgeable than the average Muslim in regard to Islam, otherwise you wouldn't be a Muslim, that's how it works.
To say that there is one Qur'an just shows the lack of knowledge you hold.
There are at least 20 versions of the Qur'an available.
It is interesting to note that in scholarly Muslim journals, there is beginning to be a grudging acknowledgment of the fact that there are variant and conflicting readings on the text of the Quran.
I can prove to you that there are 20 versions.
It is a well known fact among Scholars, those who are Muslims,(those who have escaped death threats)
Christian Scholars and non-religious Scholars.
I have the proof.
Do you want to see it?
To say that the Qur'an has never been changed is absolute
RUBBISH!
