The number of children growing up as Muslims in the UK has almost doubled in a decade in what experts have described as an unprecedented shift in Britains social make-up.
One in 12 schoolchildren in England and Wales are now officially classed as Muslim after a decade which saw the number of followers of Islam surge by just over 1.1 million, according to the most detailed study of its kind ever published. Landmark study shows number of children under five being brought up as Muslim rose 80 per cent in a

This is of great concern. However, I have read information from credible sources stating that the UK Muslim birthrate has peaked and will drop to native levels (2.8 children) over the next 20-30 years.
This (imo frankly ludicrous) idea that the Muslims will ‘breed the British out’ will not happen, even if there is a rise in Muslim population. It is currently 4%, all serious sources I have been reading state that pop. will not reach 10%. Probably 6-8%. As birthrates drop, and with tighter immigration by the UK.
So whilst we should be concerned, we also shouldnt get panicky about this.
And since when have the British tightened their immigration policy?
I would LIKE to believe that is true. However, Muslims never abort their children, unlike the non-Muslim population, and according to the article, one in 12 British schoolchildren are now Muslim. That's 8 1/2% of the upcoming generation of GB ALREADY! ... as in "today."
So I will continue to watch every move the muzzies make, anywhere on the planet. Esp. in Europe and the U.S.
They have made some strides since 2010 and the Tory govt took majority control of the coalition. Burdened as they are with a centre left party as coalition partners. Obviously a ‘free’ Tory or UKIP or Tory/UKIP govt would be even tighter.
As I said, I am concerned, what I was saying was that there are people here and in the US that seriously believe that the UK will be 50% Muslim and over 50% by 2050. That 4% will become 50% or more in the next 20-30, 50 years. That is a nonsense. But people in the US seem to believe it.
1 in 12 English/Welsh (so actually English, the Muslim Welsh pop is small). The UK is not just England. When Wales, Scotland and NI are factored in, all of which have 1% or less Muslim pops, 1 in 12 drops drastically.
There are 500000 Muslim schoolkids in the UK (out of nearly 9-10m). Of that, just 22000 are taught in Scotland, Wales and NI. 478000 in England. Given that 1m or so (probably a bit over 1m, nearer to 1.25m) kids are taught in Scot, Wales, NI, the Muslim schoolkids % drops from 1 in 12 to 1 in 18, 1 in 19 or 1 in 20.
