Islam

Ambassador Herman Eilts, in a testimony in front of the committee of Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress on June 24th, 1985, said "The Muslim community of the globe today is in the neighbourhood of one billion. That is an impressive figure. But what to me is equally impressive is that Islam today is the fastest growing monotheistic religion. This is something we have to take into account. Something is right about Islam. It is attracting a good many people."

In addition to my research I enjoy reading Islamic literature. I have attached some links for those interested in learning more about Islam.
