Not according to any statistics...

The Muslims are about 5-10% now, some atheists like the minister quoted, and contrarily to the alarmists, they don’t have more children than the majority.

Banning the Burka isn’t enough to stop the spread of the radical headchopping cult. Stopping immigration from countries that promote headchopping would be a start.
