Economist in its print version tells us a story, that, I am sure, will make Tableeghi Jamat writhe in anguish and pain. It is somewhat of a counter point to their claims that almost anywhere you look and everywhere you go Islam is spreading like wild fire. It, infact, might not be true for the state of Kosovo where, Muslims are converting to Christianity and not in small numbers but in quite large numbers.
I will however take this story with a pinch of salt. Part of the reason is my primary faith and the hurt that I feel when I read this story but the other part is more to do with the quality of fact telling that Economist does. To be very truthful Economist articles are more often than not factually misleading and stories in their own right. I am mostly disappointed with the way facts are quoted without any care for the real picture. Then again I read Economist for the quality of opinion more than the quality of its facts that I know by now are if not always then mostly incorrect and misleading.
