I just received another email hoax that attempts to paint Christianity in a better light than Islam. (For the record I find them equally as offensive.) It's about a man named Rick Mathes that deliberately lies about an event he said he participated in within the prison system. Read this to find out what really happened when someone traces the real origins of the story.
Urban Legends Reference Pages: Allah or Jesus?
In the email I received Mr. Mathes attempts to use scare tactics by claiming that Islam is the fastest growning religion in the US. It may be true across other parts of the world, but it's the non-religious that are gaining popularity here. Which one should they be more afraid of I wonder?

It is so funny how stories get changed to further a cause.
The people who make the "Islam is the fastest growing religion in the United States" claim assumes that the gullible audience will assume that the rate of growth will remain constant until 100% of the population is converted.
The growth of Islam in this country is likely attributable to two factors, (1) immigration of people who are already Muslim to the United States, and (2) native born converts who tend to be predominantly African-American. In order for Islam to become the majority religion of this country, (1) the majority of immigrants to this country would have to be Muslim, which would never be tolerated in a post 9/11 America, (2) Muslim-Americans would have to have phenomenal birth rates to outbreed Americans who are not Muslims, and (3) White and Asian Americans would have to convert in large numbers to Islam. Again, that's just not going to happen.
