Muslim:Christian ratio

Christians have been a world majority for as long as I can remember.  Would it be significant if they were no longer the majority?  What do you think?

Of course, the church started off small.  Just a band of followers who claimed that Jesus rose from the dead.  Everybody else imagined the claim to be ridiculous.  Christians were by far the minority then.  Romans would throw them to the lions, trying to kill off these fanatics, but their numbers grew in spite the persecution.

Those who saw Jesus alive after His resurrection could not deny the truth.  And seeing that He has returned from the dead gave the early Christians hope and security in the hereafter.  They were not afraid to love their persecutors.  So, in spite being put to death, their numbers grew.  Others overseas, who saw and heard about what was happening wanted to believe also.  So people around the world joined this little band of followers.  Church became institutionalised and regarded as a major world religion.

Islam came along a little later.  Their growth was mostly by the sword, even though there were also those who were persuaded by their theology.  Many Muslims are Muslims because of culture too.

Rappler.com reckons that by 2050, the number of Muslims would be greater than the number of Christians.  Through birthrate,deathrate, conversions, defections and many people who have just lost interest, the percentage of Christians is in decline.  However, the number of Muslims is increasing.

Will this change affect you?  Why, or why not?  Is it a matter of "islamophobia"?

Would you believe this prediction?  There are other sources that say that the church is actually growing, and not declining.

Would a Muslim-majority world be a more harmonious world?  Or would it be filled with more violence and strife?  Would there be more love in the world?

What do you think?
