islam has been recognised as the fastest growing religion today, both before, during and after 9/11. converts or reverts to islam are of all colours and nationalities, there is no one race that reverts more than others as people of all races are reverting to islam and in increasing numbers and it has been predicted to become one of the worlds largest religions. revertions to islam are taking place in large numbers in many countries as far afield as china, jamaica, america, russia, england, africa, austrailia so so not think it is just black people the are doing so.

people revert to islam for many reasons. on reading the quran they realise islam is a religion for all mankind, not just for arabs or asians, and they are readily accepted and welcomed in to islamic communities. they find on reading the quran that all mankind are considered as muslims at birth and either continued to follow and submit to the will of alah or did not, this may of been for a various amount of reasons such as choice, religion of family, values, nationality, beliefs, schooling, however this is why when one converts they are seen as coming back to islam.

they also find that islam and the word muslim means to submit or surrender to the will of allah. they find allah is a universal one god refered to in many other religions by different names, they find that islam does not follow no man, or ideas of man, their is no priest to tell you what to do, their is no contradictions in the doctrine or hidden agendas, and they find everything is fair and equal and only seeks to make one pure in mind, body and sprit. these are some reasons why people revert. they find a truth and chose to go with that truth. they may or may not need this truth, stability or assistance in their life, they may or may not have something missing, it is different for different people. some just want a perfect system of beliefs, morals and values in their lives without the inconsistancies of imperfections that other religious and political system bases provide. some people look for islam, for others they feel islam has found them and therefore believe because they want to and not because they have to as to do so is a free rational choice.

to answer some other points, islam does not promote terrorism, slavery or aggression. it promotes peace, fairness, goodness, self regulation and equality. alternatively it does tell you how to positively act if negative situations such as war, agression, slavery, discrimination etc arises or is evident in your community or country. contrastingly it tells you how to positively treat your wife, parents, family, employer, how to interact in your community or country, what is good and bad behaviour and thinking. this is in addition to information on the laws of love, life, worshipping allah, and having a positive and fair mind, body and soul, and how to avoid imperfections and negative attitudes and behaviour that may be influenced by negative people, forces, systems, laws or the devil. it also answers many questions about history, politics, human society, science, geology, and the human mind, body and soul. therefore islam is not an alternative or best option, islam is the only option, and you will find this if you investigate in by looking into islam, talking to real muslims or by reading a quran.

islam is not a new religion but the original religion of mankind in a new form. many religions throughtout the world worship one god, through revelations sent down through messengers. such religions are prevalant throughout asia, europe and africa. even zulu tribes and the like have religions similar to islam. also islam in a different form was prevalent across africa in ancient times in the form of the religion of adam, noah, abraham,jesus and moses. only later this was called judism after the tribe of judah, but originlly it was unnamed and solely concerned submitting to the will of allah, which is the meaning of islam. when islam was called islam it was also very wide spread across africa with entire countrie following islam. the spread of christianity through crusades and pre and post slavery converted many away from islam to christianity, and this is why now christianity is so large in africa, but it is not an african religion as it was given to them by europeans representing the church.

my last point is that islam does not accept unatural acts and evil desires. acts against allah and nature which is gods creation is unacceptable in islam. islam does not contradict itself or change its rules for any reason or to get followers as other religions and political systems do. homosexuality, transsexuality and the like are unacceptable and against the laws of allah which are set out in islam and the quran. through islam, allah does not accept, tolerate or love such individuals and they cannot be muslims as they are not surrendering to allah will therefore they are tranngressors, unbelievers etc. islam respect those that are pure, fair, just and true to themselves, and to those which count. islam does not state that everyone will follow islam, but does state that when the day of judgement comes, many will wish they were muslims and had lived a pious life which would have caused them to avoid the hellfire of the unbelievers and trangressors of allah. this is why mankind need islam to enable and assist them to be pious, fair, just and pure so that their families and friends can be so also in order to combat the negative doctrine, values, and beliefs of the pervading systems of religions and political systems which influence and allow mankind to be and become negative and evil with drug addiction, crime, prostitution, gambling, idol worshipping, homosexuality, transsexuality, murdering innocents in war, slavery and following the other corrupt ideas of man that are influences by ego's, greed, envy, jealousy, aggression etc.
