Islam verdens største religion

 Islam har overgået katolicismen som verdens største religion;

For the first time in history we are no longer at the summit: The Muslims have overtaken us,” said Monsignor Vittorio Formenti, head of the Central Office of Church Statistics, in the March 30 edition of the Vatican newspap

Han fortæller at katolikkerne regnes for at udgøre 17.4 % af verdens befolkning, mens muslimerne udgøre 19.2 %

He said that figures for 2006 showed that Catholics accounted for 17.4 per cent of the world population while Muslims accounted for 19.2 per cent.

Monsignor mener at det har noget at gøre med, at muslimerne fortsætter med, at lave flere og flere børn, mens kristne ikke laver ret mange børn;

“It is true that while Muslim families, as is well known, continue to make a lot of children, Christian ones on the contrary tend to have fewer and fewer,” (Biblical Recorder)

Jeg tror ikke det handler om at muslimer føder langt flere børn, det handler også om, at mange har en stor interesse for islam.
