Talk:Protestantism and Islam - Wikipedia

Protestants and Muslims used each other against their mutual enemies in history. The politics of this relationship needs to be made explicit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.194.63.129 (talk) 17:30, 1 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

The article writes:"Islam and Protestantism shared a common vitality in the modern world: "The two most dynamic religious movements in the contemporary world are what can loosely be called popular Protestantism and resurgent Islam", although their approach to civil society is different.[84]"

Well, the so called historic or mainline protestantism - lutheranism, calvinism is doomed in Europe.Empty churches are described in sites such as these: [Empty churches] and [Mainline doomed].Yes, pentecostalism is growing in Latin America and some parts of Africa, but these are exceptions, not the rule.Mainline protestantism is falling in any place where it exists.Islam is the fast growing religion in the world, in the last decades.Vitality is only for Islam.Agre22 (talk) 14:57, 9 May 2009 (UTC)agre22Reply

This section of the article should be removed. I am not sure why it is here-as no real figures to substantiate such a claim are provided. I suppose this is an attempt to provide some positive closure to the article-if so, that means this section is POV and thus should most certainly be deleted. The Catholic Church grew approximately 40% in past twenty or thirty years (a statistic that can be supported, incidentally)-this is a growth rate that far outstrips either Islam or Protestantism. I feel strongly that, at the very least, this section should be removed for being POV. Further, it does not contribute much to the article's more factual information.
