Säger du att västerlänningar konverterar till islam i märkbara tal?
Allt är relativt men ingen kan förneka att Islam växer med en enorm kraft i Europa samtidigt som européerna i allt större utsträckning överger kristendomen:
4000 Germans convert to Islam in one year

Citat:
The number of Germans who have converted to Islam has increased fourfold within one year -- despite the negative perception of Islam among the general public.
The figure of 4,000 conversions means the usual explanations for why Germans convert are no longer sufficient. The annual number of converts remained constant -- at about 300 -- until three years ago. The converts were mainly women "who married a Muslim partner", today, people are increasingly converting "of their own free will", converts still include many women, but also plenty of university graduates -- middle-class citizens..
..Islam has become a perennial theme in the media thanks to today's frequent debates on Muslims. "Islam is more visible as a genuine alternative,"
..It's hard to find a common denominator for what exactly makes Islam so attractive to people from a Christian background. Kai Lühra, practising doctor, converted to Islam with his wife two and a half years ago, laments the "decline in values" that Western society, in his view, has suffered: "In Islam, values still count for something," he says.
An opinion poll conducted by the Focus magazine found that 56% percent have no confidence in the Church
