Hi , could you please provide reference to the post ... like where did you get the data from
thank you
curios, wikipedia has a number of good links. Also, the UN Statistics Division is helpful as is the World Fact Book. (click each name above to link - opens a new tab). Trust that helps. Admin-.
Thank you for your information. Personally, i would like to look at the U.N. statistics myself but cannot find them online. If you are using U.N. statistics, i think that it would be helpful---and make you appear to be more credible---if you provide a link to them.
Thanks again. jim
Did you know that Christianity is the fastest growing faith? its slightly declining in percentage because of lowerb brithrates compared to islam, but its growing faster by conversions!
Islam Growing........ the day that Islam will be the majority on this planet, the Earth will become a living hell....
