P.S. ADDITION: for the one above stating Catholicism is the largest denomination.... the Catholic Church is not a denomination...it is the Church. After the Protestant Reformation, the protestants split and divided as they continue to do today...into denominations... or divisions. God Bless you all.
That mean Susie. Just because SOME Muslims are terrorists doesn't mean that all of them are. I'm a Muslim, and I don't do anything bad. Neither does my mom, or pretty much everyone on my mom's side. So many racists out there....it's so sad.
Islam is the Largest and still counting..many Christians and others have converted to Islam..and we welcome more..to join us to be in a peace loving religion...
Christianity is the largest re legion but Islam is on second and it is increasing more rep idly.

This article also appeared in ?The Plain Truth? magazine. At the top was Islam, which increased by 235%, and Christianity had increased only by 47%.
Christanity is the largest religion in the world followed by Islam. But the number of PRACTICING MUSLIMS is more than Christians. Alham-Du-lillah!
Islam is the FASTEST growing religion in the world. In a report, the number of fastest growing religions in the world were given for the year 1934-1984, No. 1 was Islam, 234%. No.2 was Christanity which was only 45%.
Should be Buddhism, Asia has the largest no. of Buddhist per region. In China alone with a population of abet 1.3 billion, majority are Buddhists, with the exception of Xinjiang which are predominantly Muslim which makes up of 26 million. Taking out other religion, there could be at least 1 billion Buddhist alone in China, excluding other parts of Asia like Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan etc.
