We've heard so many opinions. Does anybody have facts (like statistics?)
1. Was Islam really the fastest growing religion before 9/11/01? If so, which Islamic sect/sects?
2. If so, is it still the fastest growing religion today?
3. What impact, if any, did the events of 9/11/01 have on Islamic growth?
