Hmm, are you confused? It seems so.
Read the article. The top countries of growth rate are middle eastern countries, the article was about the number declining. Look at statistics of growth rates in the world, most of the middle east countries average 1.8% growth while the rest average out 1.2%.
My remark to your first post still stands. You claimed that Islam is a grown religion because Muslims have a higher birth rate. However, you proved yourself wrong with that UN quote.
Islam is the fasted growing religion in the west due to conversions .
There aren't enough conversions a year to affect the number greatly like birth rates. A half million conversions a year is nothing compared to the births in the region every year.
