Muslims religion is growing faster then Christian Beliefs

Why these products matter.... a necessary introduction Muslims are increasing more than any other religious group in the world. Their growth rate is four times faster than Christians. Presently, those who practice Islam make up approximately one-fifth of the world's population. One Bible teacher from England, after reviewing the statistics, recently commented that, "if present trends continue, half of all global births will be in Muslim families by the year 2055". Something revolutionary is happening before our eyes, and most Western Christians are oblivious to it. Not only are Muslims the fastest growing religious group in the world, but also in the United States, Canada and Europe, with Europe perhaps being the model of where Canada and then the United States are heading shortly after. Any simple examination of the present birth rates of the native Europeans versus Europe's Muslim immigrant population leads us to one very clear and ominous conclusion: the Europe we have known is very quickly changing into what some refer to as Eurabia, where Europe will soon find itself under the power and control of Islam. In 1970, the developed nations (the non-Muslim majority nations of the world) had twice as big a share of the global population as the Muslim world: 30 percent to 15 percent. By 2000, they were at parity: each had 20 percent.. The salient feature of Europe, Canada, Japan , and Russia is that they are running out of babies. What's happening in the developed world is one of the fastest demographic evolutions in history. In other words, most of the developed non-Muslim nations are simply not having enough children to maintain their populations. Meanwhile, Muslims are having far more children than any other group on earth. It is only a matter of time then before many European nations are overrun by Middle-Eastern and northern African immigrants - and thus Islam. Consider the following figures: The number of Muslims in contemporary Europe is estimated to be 50 million. It is expected to double in twenty years. By 2025, one third of all European children will be born to Muslim families. Did you catch that? At present birth rates - in less than twenty years - one third of all Europeans will be Muslims! Once thriving Christian nations are literally breeding themselves ( or failing to breed) themselves into extinction. By 2050 is is estimated they will have enough voting power to influence the political direction of all European countries. Facts and figures like this can roll on and on. In the United Kingdom, Muhammad is already the most popular name for boys, In Spain, the native Spanish population is literally knocked in half every generation. The Muslim immigrant population is doubling in far less time. The result is that Spain will be majority Muslim before we know it. The same can be said for France and soon enough, for most of Europe. Consider the following statistics regarding the percentage of the population that is under the age of fifteen: Spain and Germany have 14%, the United Kingdom 18%, the United States 21% - then we have Saudi Arabia 39%, Pakistan 42% and Yemen 47%. By mid century, the tiny Muslim nation of Yemen will have a greater population than Russia, one of the largest countries in the world. It should not be hard to extrapolate the meaning of these figures. Whoever has the youth has the future. The simple fact of the matter is that within only a couple of generations - well within this century - Islam will be the majority almost everywhere. What will this mean for the next generation of Christians and is it possible all of this is leading up to exactly what the Bible predicted - a final Islamic Empire and an Islamic Antichrist. If current trends continue and Muslims do become the dominant population group in the coming decades it is important to understand just how their religious beliefs will influence our world. Traditionally, very few people in the West are familiar with the specific beliefs of Islam, especially their doctrine of eschatology or last things. These two products will challenge you to examine many of your preconceived notions about Bible prophecy and the role of Islam. As one studies and begins to understand the potential role of Islam in Bible Prophecy, many of today's current events will come clearly into focus. We highly recommend these two products as a must have for all Christians.
