China seems to be the most harsh country as far as banning Muslims is concerned. I wonder why this research has failed to include China in this list.
Urge world non Muslim communities to stop hatred and fake propaganda against growing muslim population and craze for interference in the internal matters of Muslims. Why so crazy for Oil in Middle east?
According to PEW Research of 2019, Islam is the Fastest Growing Religion in the world.
Islam grew to a whopping 2 Billion and Counting Followers amidst total discrimination, hate campaigns and wars and genocide. And yet Islam is being embraced by millions the world over every year.
Had it been any other religion, it would have disappeared from the face of the earth.
So, let them do the advertising for us, we will indulge silently in Da'wah activities and millions and millions more into our Fold.
