===Other Factors to Consider===

Worth noting is the fact that apostates will rarely advertise leaving Islam due to the death sentence it imposes on its followers, and that most Islamic countries do not acknowledge conversions out of Islam.  

Systematic [[persecution]] of religious minorities has been documented in almost [[Persecution Listed by Country|every Muslim majority country]], leading to some [[converts to Islam]] being coerced or forced into their conversion.  

For example, following the 2010 murder of a leading Muslim politician who called for modifications to [[Pakistan|Pakistan’s]] [[Islam and Freedom of Speech|blasphemy]] law, it had been reported that at least 20 Pakistani Christians were converting to Islam each week out of fear.<ref>Rick Westhead - [{{Reference archive|1=http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/925715--some-christians-in-paki|2=2011-04-16}} Some Christians in Pakistan convert fear into safety] - Toronto Star, January 20, 2011</ref> Also according to the Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child (SPARC), there were as many as 2,000 women and girls who were [[Forced Conversion|forcibly converted]] in 2011 to Islam through [[rape]], torture and kidnappings in Pakistan.<ref>[{{Reference archive|1=http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2012/09/05/story_5-9-2012_pg7_25|2=2012-09-05}} 2,000 minorities girls converted to Islam forcibly: report] - Daily Times, September 5, 2012</ref>  

This is not limited to Muslim-majority countries. In the United Kingdom, it was reported in 2007 that police were working with universities to clamp down on "aggressive conversions" to Islam, during which vulnerable teenage girls are beaten up by Muslims and forced to abandon university courses.<ref>[{{Reference archive|1=http://www.standard.co.uk/news/police-protect-girls-forced-to-convert-to-islam-7256407.html|2=2013-01-02}} Police protect girls forced to convert to Islam] - London Evening Standard, February 22, 2007</ref><ref>[{{Reference archive|1=http://metro.co.uk/2007/02/22/hindu-girls-targeted-by-extremists-108990/|2=2013-02-07}} ‘Hindu girls targeted by extremists’] - Metro News, February 22, 2007</ref>

==Conclusion==

All the actual data available reveals that Islam is neither the fastest growing religion by number of adherents or the fastest growing religion by percentage-increase.

The growing number of Muslims in the world is due primarily to the higher than average birth-rates, and consequent population growths of Muslim countries and communities. And their growing presence in non-Muslim societies such as Europe and the Americas is overwhelmingly due to immigration.

Furthermore, converts to Islam are vastly outnumbered by those who choose to leave the religion and embrace another faith or worldview. And the majority of converts that Islam does manage to attract, decide to leave within the first few years of practicing it.  

Finally, even if Islam were to be the fastest growing religion in the world, it would be an [[Ad Populum|Argumentum ad populum]] to claim that this makes it the correct religion.
