n “Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America, a guide and pillar of stability for many of our people...” (Hillary Rodham Clinton, Los Angeles Times).1 n “Moslems are the world’s fastest-growing group...” (The Population Reference Bureau, USA Today).2 n “....Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the country.” (Geraldine Baum; Newsday Religion Writer, Newsday).3 n “Islam, the fastest-growing religion in the United States...” (Ari L. Goldman, New York Times).4 This phenomenon indicates that Islam is truly a religion from God. It is unreasonable to think that so many Americans and people from different countries have converted to Islam without careful consideration and deep contemplation before concluding that Islam is true. These converts have come from different countries, classes, races, and walks of life. They include scientists, professors, philosophers, journalists, politicians, actors, and athletes. (To read the stories of people who have converted to Islam, please visit the links at Stories of New Muslims.) The points mentioned in this chapter constitute
only some of the evidence supporting the belief that the Quran is the literal
word of God, that Muhammad
is truly a prophet sent by God, and that Islam is truly a religion from God. _____________________________ Footnotes: (1) Larry B.
