Muslims has surpassed the numbers of Roman Catholics. Is Islam now the world’s largest religion? The Vatican newspaper reported last 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 with the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano. Formenti compiles the Vatican’s yearbook.

Muslims has 19.2 percent of the world population against 17.4 percent accounted to Catholics. One of the reason why the population of muslims booming is because of Muslim families continues to make lot of children and it is the fastest growing religion in every corners of the world like in Philippines and United States of America. Theres so many reverts here or Balik-Islam as what they called here in the Philippines.

Though Muslims has big numbers, it is yet to see how progressive it will be compare to few Jews who controls nor owned big companies in the world. Theres so many Muslims but it can hardly compete in international market like Muslims owned Halal fastfood competing against McDonald or Jollibee. I wonder if theres an international known brand run and owned by a Muslim entrepreneurs.

Yes… Islam is the world’s largest religion but it’s like a Tiger without a teeth. It’s large in numbers but it’s oppressed and discriminated. It sucks!
