Why is Islam growing fastest?

[mandy]

Islam is the only way forward. This atheist way of thinking is not going to get us anywhere. Rather in the contrary, it has been detrimental to the world.
If islam is such a bad religion, then why is it the fastest growing religion? Why is it that Islam is growing fast among western nations?
If it is a “barbaric” religion then why are the western society from the commoner up to the professors converting? If the average lay person becomes Muslim, then it can be said to be attracting simple minded people. But when the “western thinkers” accept Islam then that shows that it can’t be absurd, but reasonable.

Who's this "us," and where is your evidence for such a ludicrously sweeping judgment?

Stupidity spreads quickly.

Seriously, Islam is growing in Western countries because of immigration not conversion. So the real question is, "why are so many muslims leaving the backwards shit hole that is the Middle East and coming to the secular, progressive West"?

Unsupported assertions do not an argument make.

How has 'the atheist way of thinking' been detrimental to the world? And exactly how do atheists think that is different from anyone else?

Who are these professors and western thinkers that are converting to islam?

You are going to have to do a little better than that.

Ok, so let's say that it IS growing the fastest. So what?

At various times other religions have been the fastest growing, does that mean that they were the one true religion at that time?

Argument ad popularium anybody?

Pop idol gets really good ratings. It doesn't mean that it isn't a nauseating pile of festering pig guts though.
