> largest branch of the Abrahamic family tree, namely Islam
The number of all Muslims only surpassed members of the Catholic church around 2008. There are still substantially more Christians as a whole, including Orthodox and Protestants. https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna23885015
Based on current population growth, in the next 10 years, there should be more Muslims than Christians. From wikipedia's chart: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_population_growth#Histo...
- 1970: 577mm
- 2000: 1.291b
- 2013: 1.635b
- 2016: 1.8b
- 2020: 2b
For comparison, the Catholic church currently has 1.36b members, and Christians overall are estimated at 2.3 billion.
That's because of the famous concept of Jihad and its interpretation over the ages until today. I bet of the general said, "We are going to train our military robots using Islamic values" that would definitely raise a lot of questions.
