RT: France is witnessing a surge in people buying books on Islam. Interest in the religion has seen three times as many volumes sold in the first quarter of 2015 than during the same period last year, according to the French National Union of Bookshops.
The public has been trying to make up their minds about Islam following the January terrorist attacks at the satirical Charlie Hebdo magazine and a Jewish supermarket, which left 17 people dead.
“The French are asking more and more questions, and they feel less satisfied than ever by the answers they’re getting from the media,” Fabrice Gerschel, director of Philosophie magazine, told AFP.
Philosophie recently published a supplement on the Koran, which has attracted significant interest around the country.
Muslims have become more enthusiastic about faith:

Islam for the West is a website to present Islam to the Christian, agnostic and atheist readers, in a user friendly fashion.
How sad that it required such a ‘negative’ event to ‘ignite’ the search for the truth. The other positive outcome is that people are not relying no the media alone but searching for themselves. A large portion of the ‘confusion’ or misinformation about Islam is that, when Islam is Peace and submission to the Will of Allah(Almighty God), then why is there so much violence?!
Peace and violence cannot co-exist and anyone resorting to violence for the purpose of fostering their misleading and negative ‘ideals’ is the antithesis of Islam. The world has to know that some ‘misled’ people have ‘hijacked’ a holy religion for their own selfish gains! They are the ones responsible for the greatest injustice to the pure religion of Islam. How are they prevailing?!I It is obvious that some elements are supporting them! Cut of their finances and their logistical support systems including their ‘propaganda’ machine (conventional and social media), which is the ‘lifeblood’ of these negative elements and they have nothing to perpetuate their negative ideals! This is a non violent approach consistent with Islam and what it stands for. We pray that such violence stops immediately in all its heinous forms! Enough injustice has been done. We look forward to true Peace prevaling once again and that true Islam comes to light globally.
same thing was after 9/11, sales of Qur’ans soared.
According to the Holy Quran, all children are born Muslims, it is their parents who make them Jew, Christian or others. This is one of the many reasons why now western peoples are reverting to Islam on their own free will. Through out the history, Muslims never forced non-Muslims to accept Islam. This is the main reason why Muslims lost Spain and India.
The beauty of Islam is that it is a religion which appeals to common sense. There is no blind belief or dogmatism in Islam. The fundamentals of Islam are simple, straightforward and easy to understand.
If Islam is so bad, then why is it the WORLD’S FASTEST GROWING RELIGION! It is also one of the youngest religions. However no matter how hard everyone tries to give Islam a bad name, it will be twice as more populated. So let’s get straight to the point yeah?, Basically Islam is the most hated religion I don’t know why hmm maybe because it is also the most fastest growing religion and 2nd largest but no one will be able to stop this religion from growing.
Islam is the fastest growing faith in Britain. Hundreds and thousands of Brits are reverting to Islam. By the middle of this century, over half of Brits would be Muslims.
“I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of
its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to
possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which
can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him – the wonderful man
and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the
saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the
dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems
in a way that would bring it the much
needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad
that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to
be acceptable to the Europe of today.” [G.B. Shaw, THE GENUINE ISLAM,
Vol. No. 81936.]
