“Islam has about 3 million followers out of 62 million people in the UK. It is not sensible for the West to give up and claim they have won. I’m glad to see one person who is fighting to retain freedom in the West, but I wish it wasn’t presented as if this is some impossible dream. Victory should be easy if we will merely try.”

Not sure where your figures are from, but the latest ones I’ve seen show Muslims to make up just under 3% of the UK population, around 1.6m out of 62m. Catholics make up just under 9% of the UK population at just over 5m. 72% of the UK claim to be christians, the vast majority being Anglicans.

Personally speaking I’m quite happy for these evangelists to try to spread their version of the word, but they need to understand they are doing it in an officially christian country whose monarch is defender of the faith in a kingdom where no speration of church and state exists.

I believe your figures are from legal residents in the 2000 Census. Mine are from UK government estimates in 2009, a much later date and including illegals. Either way, the implication is the same. We are an overwhelming majority if we choose to be . . . or we can choose to fade away and watch our granddaughters grow up in what will be a very different world for them.
