Welcome back to the channel. If you're new man with Bobby, guys, we're going to revisit the CJ Wurlerman show today with his just uploaded video, Unstoppable Rice of Islam in Unexpected Places. So I really enjoyed his coverage on the Football World Cup and how Islam was the actual winner. Therefore, I'm really curious to see what CJ Wurlerman means with the unstoppable rise of Islam in unexpected places. With no further ado, let's have a look. Now let's get into it. Islam is not only the world's fastest-growing religion, having grown from 1.6 billion followers in 2013 to 2 billion today, but it will also be the world's largest religion by 2050. The year the total Muslim population will exceed 3 billion people. And there's absolutely enough. It's very interesting. I'm trying to imagine the world and how the narrative will shift once Islam becomes the dominant religion worldwide, because then you cannot say that Islam is a minority. In fact, if it is the world's leading religion, I believe that this could shatter the Western dominance. These guys can do about it. Not him, nor him, and certainly not her, because Islam is proving to be an unstoppable force. And not because it's being spread forcibly, but because the Prophet Muhammad made it easy to understand. He's absolutely correct, man. The simplicity of the message is what is appreciated by the people. It is not a complex complicated doctrine. Of course, you can go into the complexity of the religion and if you want to become a scholar, you would be amazed. However, the core message is simple. I personally believe as well that the truth is always simple. There is no Son of God that has been sent down for us to die for our sins. There are no countless of manifestations of different goddesses and gods coming from Brahmin. You do not have to be initiated through psychotropic plans in the Amazon jungle. No, quite the opposite. The message is very clear. Worship God alone. Stoppable force. And not because it's being spread forcibly, but because the Prophet Muhammad made it easy to understand. But what many people tell me is that they find Islam much more simpler than Christianity. For example, they say, look, in Christianity, you guys have to believe in a trinity. You know, there is one God who exists in three persons, but there are three gods or they're one God, but different persons. And that's kind of complicated. In Islam, we have it simple. There is just one God who exists as one person. Obviously, Islam will continue to grow at a steady and predictable rate in Muslim majority countries. But what I find really fascinating is how the religion is growing in countries where Muslims represent a tiny minority of the population. I'm talking about you. Yeah, of course, man, because Muslims actually reproduce and we Westerners or even here in Japan, you see that in Japan, rates are through the roof. People are so depressed, they believe in nothing, they believe in work, they do not believe in the family structure anymore. And therefore, you will see that the Muslim population will outgrow the atheist population because the atheist population is so smart that they're gonna get rid of themselves. Ultimately, if you look into the doctrines that have popped up in the past 10 years alone, it's absolutely sickening. You look into the ABC club and what they do to children. Moreover, you look into simple education and how everybody prides themselves to be an intellectual and first I have to study and then I'm gonna have kids. And ultimately, they end up with maybe one kid at best. I lived in Germany for the longest time and the far right is complaining about the migrants and look at them, how many children they produce. It is the great replacement, etc, etc. Yeah, well, produce more children than nobody is stopping you. Muslims are producing the most children and just by that metric alone, they will conquer the world. Simple. Can, South Korea, Mexico and many others. Of course. Because what makes these countries captivating case studies is the way in which their respective Muslim populations are growing organically and not by immigration. It's important to tell these stories because we counter Islamophobia by promoting a deeper understanding of Islam because yes, while it remains the world's fastest-growing religion, it also remains the least understood. We start with South Korea, where the Muslim population has grown to 200,000, which is a remarkable achievement given Islam was banned in the country until as recently as 1910 when Korea pursued an isolationist policy. It wasn't until the 1950s when Islam was introduced to the Korean people by members of the Turkish military, who came to fight alongside South Korean soldiers during the Korean War. I mean, how can anybody not love that guy? Well, South Koreans love him too. As they do all Turkish people, which is why the two countries have forged an incredibly close bond over the past 70 years. This relationship has allowed Islam to flourish. Watch this Korean woman explain how she became a Muslim. Her story is typical of the Korean Muslim experience, but since converting to Islam in 2007, Borosong has become somewhat of an Instagram star with more than 180,000 followers, and she uses her social media influence to help Koreans better understand Islam. That's amazing. When Koreans aren't learning Islam from Muslims like Borosong, they are converting to the religion after working or travelling through the Middle East or nearby Muslim majority countries Indonesia and Malaysia. There are many paths to the top of the mountain. Indonesia and Malaysia is of course very relatable. Those are Asian countries and this was so surprising to me. I was ignorant and arrogant at the same time, very little to no knowledge whatsoever, but I thought I know it all. I thought I know Islam. I know exactly what it's about without ever opening up the Quran or visiting a mosque. So when I traveled to Southeast Asia, to Malaysia, to Indonesia and then I saw those Asian Muslims, I was mind blown. At that point, I didn't even know that those Asian countries are in fact the majority Muslim population to this very day. I thought it's some Arabs or Turks or whatnot. No, Asians are the number one Muslim population today. Korean citizens, they are very interested in what they understand about Islam. In case of a central message, you can say maybe every year the number of embraced Muslim, new Muslim I mean more than 100%. Sadly, many Koreans continue to have big misunderstandings about Islam, mostly because local media began linking the religion to terrorism in 2007. The year 23 Korean missionaries were kidnapped by the Taliban, two of whom were killed before the South Korean government reached a deal for their release. The saga dominated media headlines for weeks, creating a negative impression about Islam that persists today. Early this year, Muslim students face local backlash after building a mosque on campus grounds. Here is a representative of the Can You Muslim Students community and the community is comprised of more or less 150 Muslim students. This place is not some new place for us because we have been praying here from past seven years and now like after feeling the need for it because the Muslim students are larger in number, so they were not able to pray properly in the previous place, so we started the construction of this place. You can see why anti-Islamophobia activists, including us, must do more to dispel misunderstandings about Islam in Korea. We now turn to South Korea's neighbor to the west, the island nation of Japan, where Islam has experienced exceptional growth during the past 20 years. In fact, the total Muslim population in the Asian country has doubled in the past decade, from 110,000 in 2010 to 230,000 in 2019, with native Japanese converts accounting for roughly 25% of the Muslim population. This growth is matched by the number of mosques being built across the Japanese archipelago. According to multiple scatter reports throughout the last two decades, back in 1970, there were only two mosques in Japan. In 2001, the number increased to 24. In 2017, the number was 90 and currently, there are 115 mosques in the country. A direct evidence of exponentially greater growth of Islam in Japan. What really makes Japan stand out is a host where minority Muslim population is the near total absence of Islamophobia. Remarkably, Muslims are welcome to practice their faith in accordance with Islamic principles, even in public. What most Muslims should know about life in Japan and living in Japan as a Muslim is that it's extremely comfortable to live as a Muslim, even more so than many Muslim countries. The reason I say that is because I don't see any restrictions on practicing my religion. Living in Japan as a Muslim, we have mosques, we have halal food, and there is a large Muslim community, actually, we can hang out with, we can talk to, so I think we feel quite comfortable living in Japan as a Muslim. This is something that reminds me of an Islamic village that I just visited here in Thailand. I'm going to make a separate video on that guy so I don't want to spoil it. However, what is so interesting to me is that Muslims keep their tradition. They keep the dress code, they keep everything, their food, etc. etc. In the midst of the Thailand Tourist and Party scene, those people established their own Islamic town and you can see the same thing here in Japan. At first glance, you would never believe that this here is in Japan. This is such a great testament to that Islam never changes. Our final stop on this short tour around the world is Mexico, where a Muslim population has grown from 50,000 in the early 1990s to 120,000 today, which is astonishing in such a devoutly conservative Christian country. Curious? It is astonishing on the one hand, but on the other hand, Christianity has been brought to Mexico. It has been brought to South America. So before that, they weren't Christians. They were something that the Europeans would classify as pagans. They had their own medicinal healers, etc. etc. So therefore, in our time frame, this seems extremely surprising. But on the other hand, in the long scheme of things, this is a natural development. Even you, CJ, you're from Australia. You know for sure that Australia was very, very different before it got colonized and became a somewhat Christian country. So if we take our distance and look at it objectively, it's not surprising after all. The village of San Cristobal in the state of Chiapas has been home to a Muslim majority since a Spanish Muslim missionary visited there in 1994. Today, Islam has not only become the fastest growing religion in Mexico, but also the fastest growing among Latin American migrants in the United States. One of their values tend to be conservative values. They have a high respect for Jesus, who, you know, we say is a prophet in Islam. They have a high respect for the mother of Jesus for Mary. So there's that kind of connection with the religion and the idea of God and also love for God. Notably, Islam offers Latin Americans a cultural familiarity that stretches back to the Moors in Spain. Latino soon reconnect with the hidden past. They say Islam is not really that foreign to us. Islam is us. It's part of us. 4,000 words from Spanish, Arabic, pantalon, tomato, salad. Muslims in Mexico still face discrimination, however, because of the way in which North American media has linked Islam with terrorism. But to overcome these misconceptions, Latino Muslim organizations have launched a number of initiatives aimed to promoting a better understanding of Islam among the majority Christian population, with groups such as Islam in Spanish, coordinating mosque tours and the like, all of which is helping to break down barriers and counter Islamophobia. As you can see, Islam continues to grow rapidly and in unexpected places. Alright, that's it for today's video. CJ knocked it out of the ballpark, yet again, fantastically researched video, absolutely beautifully put together, extensive material gathered here to show the different cultures that embraced Islam and how the population is growing. After watching this video as a non-Muslim, I'm really not wondering if, but when, CJ will finally revert. Alright guys, but this is it for today's video. If you liked it, leave it a thumbs up.
