“Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America, a guide and pillar of stability for many of our people…”
Hillary Rodman Clinton, LOS ANGELES TIMES, May 31, 1996, p.3
“Islam continues to grow in America, and no one can doubt that!” CNN, December 15, 1995
“Five to six million strong, Muslims in America already outnumber Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and Mormons, and they are more numerous than Quakers, Unitarians, Seventh-day Adventists, Mennonites, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Christian Scientists, combined. Many demographers say Islam has overtaken Judaism as the
country’s second-most commonly practiced religion; others say it is in the passing lane.” Johan Blank, USNEWS (7/20/98)
“In fact, religion experts say Islam is the second-largest religion in the United States… Islam has 5 million to 6 million members, followed by
Judaism, with approximately 4.5 million… And Islam is believed to be fastest-growing religion in the country, with half its expansion coming from new immigrants and the other half from conversions.”
Elsa C. Arnett, KNIGHT-RIDDER News Service
“But Islam has a still further service to render to the cause of humanity. It stands after all nearer to the real East than Europe does, and it possesses a magnificent tradition of inter-racial understanding
and cooperation. No other society has such a record of success uniting in an equality of status, of opportunity, and of endeavours so many and so various races of mankind . . . Islam has still the power to reconcile apparently irreconcilable elements of race and tradition. If ever the opposition of the great societies of East and West is to be replaced by
cooperation, the mediation of Islam is an indispensable condition. In its hands lies very largely the solution of the problem with which Europe
is faced in its relation with East. If they unite, the hope of a peaceful issue is immeasurably enhanced. But if Europe, by rejecting the cooperation of Islam, throws it into the arms of its rivals, the issue can only be disastrous for both.”
H. A. R. Gibb, WHITHER ISLAM, London, 1932, p. 379.
“It (Islam) replaced monkishness by manliness. It gives hope to the slave, brotherhood to mankind, and recognition of the fundamental facts of human nature.”
Canon Taylor, Paper read before the Church Congress at Walverhamton, Oct. 7, 1887; Quoted by Arnoud in THE PREACHING OF ISLAM, pp. 71-72.
