Why a nun can be covered from head to toe and she's respected for devoting herself to God, but when a Muslimah does that, she's "oppressed"?

Why a Jew can grow a beard and he's just practicing his faith,and when a Muslim does that, he's an extremist?

When a western woman stays at home to look after the house and kids she's sacrificing herself and doing good for the household, but when a Muslim woman does so, she "needs
to be liberated"?

Why is it that when a child dedicates himself to a subject, he has potential, and when a child dedicates himself to Islam, he is hopeless?

When a Christian kills someone, religion is not mentioned,
(i.e.,Ireland and the IRA) but when a Muslim is charged with a crime, it's Islam that goes to trial?

But then again, why is it after all that, Islam is still the
fastest growing religion in the world ?

It is simply the right religion! the BEST religion! the ONLY acceptable religion! & it is a fact to remain for those who belive and don't. & for the majority who do.... either do become a muslim or dont'. & I guess those who DO are those who are MOST!
I dunno if u get me here....but anyway, hope u do. :)

<li>are we already 1billion?? no wonder to be the fastest grown simply the religion is being inherited to new generation. I guess that the main source of spreading but again how many are just carrying it as a name in ID cards.

<li>The are wise people who give no daman to what is being said on western media and try to discover the reality by themselves.

a converter to Islam Said “ I am glad that I used to hear about Islam every single day on TV channels although for all the wrong reasons, For me it started there to decide and find the reality on my own”
See they think they are encouraging people to hate Islam but GOD turned it the other way around.

But I suppose it's reproduction we might be refering too.

Have you heard about the regeneration of Islam, some of the muslim scholars among whom is Sheikh Ahmed Al-Khalili, belive that Islam is not decaying as many people may think, but Islam is regenerating and another peak of Islam is coming which is going to be higher than that of the Wise Khlaifs since it will cover most of the world.
Difficult to belive!! Isn't it?
But I really sense how our youth are recovering their values and start coming back to the mosque. I feel that mosques start being crowded, much more than before. We need to be more optimistic , I don't like the way some people interpret when they see bad things,

Oooohh 3alamaat Al-sa3ah, 3alamaat Al-sa3ah

You know from 3alamat il sa3a that the sun will be rising from the west!! my mother actaully says that its not ment by the sun it self its ment by the muslim in the west who are coming to islam.. And my mother al7amdolilah is a big da3iya to Islam.. and i guess she read a book about it.. And she actaully said that its ment of the moslims ( as to the sun ) not the sun it self!

Assalamu Alaikum,
This is a very interesting topic. What I have to say about it is that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the West. Within two weeks,4 women in the Eastern part of the US became Muslims. I myself saw one of them converting and saying the "shahada". Two weeks ago, as we were praying in the university, a black American lady approached the Imam and said she wanted to become a muslim. Every one in the room started saying " Allahu Akbar". The lady started crying, so did we.
Despite the fact that I haven't been in the IS for quite a long time, I can say I have met more than 50 Americans who converted, Alhamdullilah. Whenever I ask them about the reason of their conversion, they say : It is the True religion of God. Quran is the only Holy Book that has no contradictions.
More facts:1- During the Gulf War, about 4,000 American soldiers converted to Islam.
2- There are more than 5 million muslims in America ( A population twice as much as Oman's).
3- Islam continues to spread rapidly due to increased da3wa activities by Muslims in the West.
4- A great deal of American priests and preachers embrace Islam.

around 2-5 unmuslims become muslims at our place. i see that every week and i see them alot coming into islam.. we all start to cry.. when someone say shahada inrfront of you .. then you feel relifed.. its such a good feeling.. you feel that there is noor all around you.. and everyone would start to cry..

Number of Muslims increasing is good, that out beloved Profet will be proud of his Umma in the day of Judgment, however, the quality of the muslims is bothr me.. we so many but lack of proper knowledge and mixed with others idiology in our belives, creat sort of gap between us and allah, and gap between our selfs and and how we treat each other, lets put all our effort to gain proper knoweldge and to be example of new commers.

The first word in Quran is IQRA ( Read in the name of allah), why? Answer to avoid the many mistakes and what happen today due to lack of knoweldge.

Mashalah, it seems ppl in USA, and UK, are working very hard to raise name of alllah, and for the sake of Islam, while we here in Gulf still thinking of how can i improve my seating room, and which bank has the lowest bank interest to pay loans.
