ye we have lots of muslims here in Surrey but none of them are into hijacking and suicide bombing they all cool lol with me atleast
Shallow:
Does "fastest growing" really mean anything in a country where 80% of the religioin is Christian. It's not like to many protestants are going to convert to catholic or vice versa. At the last census Islam was about 1% of the population. Even if it doubles, it's still only 2%. That hardly counts as a phenomenon.
Bill O Reilly:
My wife was talking about us converting as a couple at one point, I stuffed a snowman sugar cookie in her mouth while she was asleep to remind her of the joy of being Christian. She hasn't brought it up since.

I fit the description of what you are talking about, I am a white American who was raised Christian. It was actually my background that was devoid of Islam, that lead me to Islam and has always been a motivating factor. When you grow up in a city and nieghborhood where Allah's name is never mentioned, it creates a desire in your heart for knowledge of self and knowledge of the Creator, and when you find that knowledge you are hungry to submit your life to it.
