The Muslim population of England has passed the three million mark for the first time, according to estimates prepared by Whitehall.
They said that Muslims are the fastest-growing faith group in the country – while allegiance to Christianity continues to decline.
The figures were produced by the Office for National Statistics as part of a research project to try for the first time to make regular assessments of the size of different ethnic and religious groups.
Until now religious and ethnic minority populations could be gauged only once a decade using the results of the full-scale ten-yearly national census.
According to the ONS assessment, Christians continue to decline in number, but the drop in allegiance to Christianity may be slowing.
Among other faith groups, the share of Hindus in the population has climbed slightly, while the proportion of Sikhs has fallen by a similar small amount.
The scale of the Jewish and Buddhist shares of the population have remained stable, the report said.
The share of people who say they have no religion at all or who will not discuss their faith has risen to almost a third of the English population, an increase almost certainly a result of the fall-off in Christian belief.

Muslims won't dominate now, but later they will, EXACTLY what the Bible says will happen after Christ takes his own out of this world.
Soon (a few decades IMO) but not yet.
I listen to the Rivers of Blood speech every once in a while.

The population of England is ~56 million, so 3 million is ~5.4% of the population. They have not passed any point of no return, and Brexit will help to stop forced immigration.
Exactly , and which is why when I moved to FL from MA after I checked the census years ago. My vote counts here unlike MA, and living in north east FL is very conservative.

I’m in PA, which actually matters in the Northeast.

You are watching the overthrow of Western Civilization in slow motion. It is a sad statement, but nothing short of a fight will resolve this.
Okay. It still sounds like quite the comeback and win.
