ISLAM is fastest growing religion in America, and in world...
I am writing book about religious right and spiritual left, and all the research I have seen shows Islam to be the fastest growing religion not only in US but in world. Second fastest growing in U.S. is wicca/earth religions. This does not bode well for Christian right, esp. since the fastest shrinking religion in U.S. is protestantism, followed by Catholicism. I will try to find the links I used, but this stuff is pretty much common knowledge amongst us ministers and writers and it may make things pretty interesting in years to come for right wing Christians!

2. What about the Mormons?
They sure claim that they are the fastest growing religion worldwide.

3. You wouldn't know it to sit in a fundagelical church. Their missionary
maps have nearly the whole world painted as though it will be fully evangelized and converted soon.

the God in the pledge and are so gullible when a KKKarl Rove comes their way promising to keep their values in tact.

7. Wait Until It Takes Hold In Mexico
Make no mistake, Islam will take hold in Mexico and when it does this nation is doomed.

11. Why are we doomed?
Islam isn't the criminal here -- fundamentalism is. Mohammed was an advocate of peace, women's rights... it's just the Muslim Fundies that have messed up the whole message (just like "Christian" Fundies have messed up Jesus' message.)

10. I posted this on a board last year and was dismissed with
much derision. This true and has been true for the past couple of decades. I always said that it wasn't communism that would be the downfall of the US but Islam--and I said that 30 years ago.
