Once the dominant Religion in the World was Christianity mainly due to massif forced conversions at first. Forcing out all other religions through out Europe with barbaric religious War that went on for over 800 years.
This was followed by Missionaries going around the World with Colonising Army's from Spain, Portugal, France, Great Briton for the most part, again forcing Christianity onto Native Populations and slaves.
Today after 1600 years of violence and forceful Missionaries, Christianity has calmed down a bit and is somewhat more peaceful starting to follow the message of Peace and Love from the initial teacher, being Christ.
This however not before going through a blood bath and extreme intolerance toward any other believe in and around the World!
Aster the Second World War and its atrocities many never wanted to ever have to go true such blood shed and suffering ever again, it was just to horrific of a time!
People began to search for the trues and a way to keep peace, questioning every thing from politics to religion that has broth us so much pain and injustice. Even though WWII had just been over for a decade, new friction arose with the two blocks that lead to the Cold War.
This in turn broth us to the end of an era, the end of the Colonies and the beginning of new wars in Asia and Africa, namely the Algerian War and the Vietnam War as well as the Korean War.
All this new violence and those new barbaric Wars lead to a rebellion with in the Western Society, it was the Hippy Movement and the may 1968 uprising through out Europe, Eastern as well as Western Europe!
People where in deed distress with the reality of their World and wanted change as well as Justice, Peace and harmony for all Humans on Earth. A hole Generation went on a quest to find exactly that and rebelled in every way they could, defying their Parents, authorities and even the Church was rejected by many. Seen as hypocritical and a living lie!
Many embraced Buddhism and other Asian Religion in form of unconscious Solidarity with those that our Government where wagging war against, namely Vietnam and Korea! After those wars the numbers of Westerners Converting to Eastern Religions dropped dramatically, many started to embrace Atheism being disillusioned with all religion as they started to see that even Eastern religions are not always practised as they where meant to be!
Only Very few came back to the Christian faith, that has been in decline ever since!
Since the Late 1990 as the Western Nations such as the USA and Great Briton started waging war again, only this time not against Asian Countries, but against Middle Eastern Countries and Minor Asia as well as Africa, a noticeable increases in conversion to the Islamic Faith has taken place in the Western Countries.
Some seem to worry and other out right panic and cry Wolf, seeing more and more Mosques go up and being well attended in Cities such as London, Paris and Berlin. Failing to see what is causing the rise in the popularity with Islam, especially in countries such as Germany where the percentage of converts to Islam is the Highest in all Western Nation, just as Germany had one of the Highest conversion rates to Buddhism and Atheism in the 1960 till the 1970.
Part of the reason of this massive growth in Conversion to the Islamic Faith is an almost unconscious rebellion against the Politics of the Western Nations toward the Islamic Countries and a gesture of solidarity and sympathy to the people suffering under the Western Military Forces.
Should peace return and stability be re-established I am rather certain that the growing rate of converts will slow down and even maybe reverse! It is actually Islam that can be blamed in any way, since our Western Politics and Business practices are the very cause and reason for this phenomenon!
A drastic change in our governments foreign policies and our capitalistic Business practices is what is needed and wanted by the Western Youth and general Population.
The conclusion would be that we are the only one to blame for the Movement and we are the only that are causing it and that will end up having to bear the consequences as well!
Islam by it self is no better or worth than Christianity or Judaism are! Justice is what the World wants and deserves!
