"Islam has surpassed Roman Catholicism as the world's largest religion, the Vatican newspaper said Sunday. "For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us," Monsignor Vittorio Formenti said in an interview
...
"It is true that while Muslim families, as is well known, continue to make a lot of children, Christian ones on the contrary tend to have fewer and fewer," the monsignor said."
haha. I would think with the diseases in African countries and the war and poor living circumstances in many parts of the middle east the population of Muslims would be hindered, but i guess not. Its kind of sad to see that the worlds largest religion is the one most put down. I wish we were more united and stopped fighting amongst ourselves.
Also: Israel recently celebrated its 60th anniversary. Gotta' love the British "Oh oppressed! Heeeeeere's your homeland. Oh, people already live there? Well... you can just make room. You know, apartments. Everything will be alright. *2 years later* What? fighting? because the land is 'holy'? Well.... it ain't our fault...tralalala"
