Islam is the worlds second largest religion, with over 1.6 billion followers, the number of Muslims is rapidly growing, mainly due to conversions, high birth rates, and redefinitions of the term 'Muslim'. Conversions to Christianity (from ''any'' faith or lack thereof) outnumber those to Islam, but cannot keep up with the birthrate discrepancy.<ref>[http://www.bible.ca/global-religion-statistics-world-christian-encyclopedia.htm World Christian Encyclopedia]</ref>
Today, Islam preaches love and kindness and friendship. Unlike Christianity, Islam is accepting of individuals with different lifestyles, though, like with all religion, it does have its downfalls. But for real, it's a lot better than Christianity.
