France on track for Muslim majority as native European populations dwindle
washington times ^ | September 26, 2017 | Rowan Scarborough

Within 40 years, given current demographic trends, the white population in France and the rest of old Europe will recede, creating a Muslim majority, a French researcher says.

He assesses France’s white, or native, birthrate at 1.4 children per woman, compared with a Muslim rate of 3.4 to 4 children. The French population is already 10 percent Muslim, with 6.7 million people.

“Within 40 years at the latest, it is almost certain that the majority of the population will be Muslim in Austria, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Holland,” he writes.

“Only two or three generations ago, tens of millions of Europeans knelt several times a week in churches to show their adoration of Jesus Christ,” Mr. Godefridi said. “Forty years after this religious fervor, almost nothing remains. What we have instead is the well-known phenomenon of ‘dechristianization,’ which has engulfed the whole of Europe.”

Abortions in France have surged in recent decades. Government statistics show that 204,000 abortions were performed in 2015 compared with 760,421 live births.

“Bluntly put, Europeans are not making babies anymore,” he said. “And this has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam; this ‘malady’ is entirely self-inflicted.”

Across Europe, there are signs of the coming Muslim majority. Muslims make up nearly 50 percent of primary school children in the Belgian port city of Antwerp. A quarter of Brussels’ 1 million population is of Muslim origin. The Daily Mail, citing the Office of National Statistics, reported that the most popular boy’s name in Britain in 2015 was Mohammed or its variant spellings.

“Democracy is the opposite of Shariah and Islam,” said Belgium-born Fouad Belkacem, referring to his hometown of Antwerp as a “dirty perverted community.”

“Even disbelievers themselves, they say in 2030 there will be majority Muslims here. It’s just a matter of time.”

This is from 11 years ago...think it went down?

Some Muslims in U.S. Quietly Engage in Polygamy

\\Although polygamy is illegal in the U.S. and most mosques try to discourage plural marriages, some Muslim men in America have quietly married multiple wives.

No one knows how many Muslims in the U.S. live in polygamous families. But according to academics researching the issue, estimates range from 50,000 to 100,000 people.

You can see some of the women involved in polygamous marriages in the lobby of Sanctuary for Families, a nonprofit women’s center in New York City. It bursts with color as a dozen women in bright African dresses and head wraps gather for a weekly noon meeting for West African immigrants. The women come each week to this support group where they discuss hard issues, such as domestic abuse, medical problems, immigration hurdles and polygamy.

Polygamy is freely practiced in parts of Africa, and almost every one of the women in the group has experienced polygamy firsthand – either as a wife in a plural marriage or having been raised in families with one father who has two or more wives.

In UK from 2014

It is estimated that as many as 20,000 polygamous Muslim marriages exist in the UK. In a Channel 4 documentary this week, director Masood Khan will delve into the community of British Muslim polygamists to find out “what makes these people tick” and how a religious group is able to put its own practices above UK law.

Eastern Europe may not be letting Muslims in, but they’re not reproducing either. How will they be able to defend themselves if they’re surrounded by heavily populated Muslim majority nations?

Christianity may be dying, but Israel is getting stronger. Israel may one day be the only safe haven left for Christians.

Maybe it was God’s plan all along to use Christianity to civilize the masses, until the masses no longer had any appreciation for it, and abandoned it. After that, the true believers would be persecuted and driven back to the Holy land, along with the Jews, where they will both await God’s divine intervention against the enemies of Judeo/Christian morals.

Some interesting points in this piece on both sides of the argument, and thanks for posting. The usual caveat: "If current trends continue" is doomed to failure because they never do. You're applying a linear regression to a multivariate problem, and you can't do that. The line is wiggly and will stay wiggly.

That said, a nearly 3:1 difference in reproduction doesn't have to hold for very long to make a huge dent in the overall demographics. In 40 years, which is what the author has reported, roughly two generations, it's going to be a lot. One of the sources cited has suggested that the diminution of Christianity in France may be mirrored by a similar diminution of religious sentiment within Islam, for some reason that isn't very apparent at the present time. Possibly the French transcendence of religion is so overwhelming it will rub off and the rising Muslim demographic will suddenly begin to spout Sartre, Baudrillard, and Derrida under the influence of the Gallic enlightenment. I wouldn't be placing any large bets in that direction, though.

It's an issue, but what does seem very clear is that the immigrant population isn't going to be French, even under the slippery multiculti definition of Frenchness, and doesn't want to. They're not there to assimilate, they're there to take over and divide the spoils. The Romans fancied they could take in the Goths and turn them Roman, and so they did, by turning Rome Gothic. The only way the French are going to Frenchify the Muslims will be the same.

I think that all of the European cultures could very well survive a drastic reduction in population intact because they've done it before - in the time of the Black Death, after the Thirty Years' War - and, after all, a smaller population was what our enlightened friends on the Left have been calling for for the last 50 years. This is not that. The European ruling classes have deemed (rather suddenly, actually) population size something that must be maintained, principally, I suspect, so that the Welfare State may be maintained. Importing warm bodies with uneducated brains isn't going to turn that trick, however much the EU uber-culture thinks it can rub off on the new arrivals. This may simply be that socialism as the EU knows it is inherently suicidal. It wasn't, after all, socialism that rebuilt Europe after the Plague passed through. Socialism isn't going to rise from the ashes, and when it goes it's likely to take its constituent cultures into the dustbin of history with it.

So European leaders are forcing genocide on their native peoples. The first mistake was allowing rampant abortions and emasculating your males. Followed by mass Muslim immigration. Once Muslims reach majority, it’s over.

Europeans are being erased by abortion and small families.

Europeans are being replaced by hordes of homicidal savages.

It is disgusting.

Yup, trading abortion for immigrants.

“Over 200,000 abortions

If you think about it, this is our equivalent of Islamists having children act as suicide bombers. It's a similar lack of respect for the sanctity of life and innocence.

"If you do not believe in your own stock enough to see the stock kept up, then you are not good Americans, you are not patriots, and ... I for one shall not mourn your extinction; and in such event I shall welcome the advent of a new race that will take your place, because you wil have shown that you are not fit to cumber the ground."
--Theodore Roosevelt

Sure, TR was on the eugenics bandwagon and was dead wrong about that, but he was not a fan of birth control/abortion. He saw where it would lead. Europe apparently is vying for a continental Darwin Award.
