2 Peter 2:1

Although 98% of Italians are Roman Catholic - Islam is the fastest growing religion in Italy.

Want proof? A recent article entitled "Muhammad Takes Milan by Storm" listed the current most popular names given to infants born in Milan, the economic capital of Italy.

Here are the top three...

1. Mahmoud
2. Ahmad
3. Hamid.

Pray for Italy.

So, Michael, to be adapt to the culture, should we expect your first boy to be named Mahmoud Ahmad Barone?

I Corinthians 9:22 - To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

Would you expect any different?

Dear Brothers,

You are right that Islam is growing in Italy and in all of Western Europe, but actually if you consider secular humanism as a religion, then this is the fastest growing religion in Italy, since most Italians under the age of 40 embrace it wholeheartedly.

Ciao,

European Brother
