I found this interesting. I've been researching a little more into Islam and started looking at statistics. This is not meant to be a dispensational moment where we look at the middle east and Islam and freak out. But it was interesting to just see the numbers. I have relatives in Europe, so I know that the population in Europe is going down, while the immigrant and Muslims population is really starting to sore.
With the statistics showing that the number of Christians is not decreasing or increasing, the number of Muslims is slowly starting to increase at a rate that it will soon surpass Christianity.

Also, when I use Christianity I mean it in the sense that it is used in statistics where all denominations fall under. While there are many people that are considered "Christians" we know the number is a lot lower (the number of actual Christians). So Islam passed the number of actual believers a while ago.
My emphasis is just on the increase of Islam all over the world right now, not how we are going to become a "minority" in the religious aspect. I think true believers have been a minority compared to the people around us since Christ's time.
