Report Offers Surprises on Muslims’ Growth (We Are Doomed)

A new report forecasts that the number of Muslims around the world will grow over the next 20 years at twice the rate of non-Muslims, but that the rapid growth will level off. With more Muslim women getting educations and jobs, people migrating to cities, and living standards improving, the report says, the birthrate in majority-Muslim countries will come to more closely resemble the pattern in other nations.

Predictions that Europe will become a majority-Muslim “Eurabia” are unfounded, according to the report by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion and Public Life, a nonpartisan research group.

Muslims in Europe made up only 6 percent of the population in 2010, and will grow to 8 percent by 2030, the report says. In France and Belgium, Muslims will be about 10 percent of the population in 20 years, and in Britain, 8 percent.

Globally, Muslims now make up 23.4 percent of the population, and if current trends continue, will be 26.4 percent by 2030. Such growth is not enough to create a drastic shift in the world’s religious balance, experts said. The world’s Christian population has been estimated in other reports to be 30 percent to 33 percent.

Amaney A. Jamal, associate professor of politics at Princeton and a consultant for Pew on global Islam, said that the report could challenge assertions by some scholars and far-right political parties about future demographic domination by Muslims.

“There’s this overwhelming assumption that Muslims are populating the earth, and not only are they growing at this exponential rate in the Muslim world, they’re going to be dominating Europe and, soon after, the United States,” she said.

We are doomed. The vision of a world predominately Muslim by virtue of its burgeoning population is a dystopian nightmare too grotesque to contemplate. The UN Report on the state of the Arab world for many years now reveals a society of 120 million overwhelmingly primitive, uneducated, illiterate, with a mindset mired in the 7th century. Discounting oil production the collective GNP of the entire Arab World is less than that of Holland.

A recent UN report suggests that less than 2% of the population in the Arab world reads even one book a year and that one-third of Arabs are illiterate. The BBC’s Lina Sinjab reports from Damascus on what some Arabs see as a “reading crisis.”
One Third of Arab World Iliterate. And that's being charitable.
A recent UN report suggests that less than 2% of the population in the Arab world reads even one book a year...
The Koran not a book in the traditional sense of the word.

Our only hope is that they destroy THEMSELVES before they destroy us....

The Pew Research Center has shown its left-wing liberal slant in presenting a politically-correct view of the world in its polls.

[PghBaldy]

The Pew report above is being dishonest. Muslims only need a certain percentage of population to become domineering. It has happened in soem Euro countries already. France, the UK, Sweden, Holland... Then, once they get what they demand, they demand more. Eventually, and in a relatively short period of time, the violence and intimidation will increase to the point that these countries will be effectively Muslim, even if they aren’t a majority.

He whose name can’t be mentioned was illiterate.

“With more Muslim women getting educations and jobs”

Whoever wrote this is an idiot who knows nothing of islam...

[James C. Bennett]

The problem is not Muslims reproducing like roaches in their own hell-hole Islamic countries. They are mostly dictatorships with little political or real-world power.

The problem comes when they do the same in non-Muslim majority nations which are democratic - which then will imply real power balance shifts with them inheriting considerable political power.

[piytar]

“Our only hope is that they destroy THEMSELVES before they destroy us...”

There is another hope. We’ve been at a similar place before against a similar ideology. We tried to be neutral(ish). We even had corrupt politicians on the enemy’s side.

Then we got MAD.

The harsh reality: We America gets MAD (and 9-11 didn’t do that), we are the absolute best at killing on the planet. Period.

So my bet is we’re pushed too far, get MAD, and push islam to the backwaters. But maybe we’ve lost that, in which case we will be destroyed. Even after that, when muslims win, they soon turn on other muslims.

Whatever happens, there will be blood. Seas and messes of it.

Why is anyone surprised.

For 3-4 decades, we have been aborting our future - while they have been flowing, with great deliberation, into all Western countries and making their women breed like rabbits -

This is planned for domination.

[himno hero]

... either way they are still seventh century idiots. Sure they might overrun france and end up with nuclear technology, but, s the world turns that technology gets dated. Real quick.

Tell me... when was the last time Islam achieved a notable improvement/achievement other than a new suicide vest?
When was the last time they won a Nobel for advancements in the sciences/ math/ engineering /arts etc etc excepting Obama?

[lurk]

We can bring them to their knees. Just introduce lawyers into their system.

Seriously, Jesus wins in the end, so all Muslim advances are temporary.

[James C. Bennett]

True, but there is a saturation point when it comes to the ability to cause destruction using nuclear weapons. Technology may advance, but a 1950s-technology nuke cannot be improved upon by a 2030s-era bomb. When Islamaniacs inherit the former, what protection can the latter guarantee?

Are you saying MAD as in angry with someone?
Or are you saying MAD as in Mutual Assured Destruction?

[James C. Bennett]

The Middle East was once largely Christian.

[himno hero]

As long as Obama does not destroy us, bankrupt us or give us away there is a very good chance that that old technology will expire. At that point, newer defense systems will be in play as well as newer, more potent but less damaging weapons...just imagine a new technology with a green footprint!
America has solved problems like this in the past and will again once the albatross is removed.

[Crim]

This is the same stealth jihadist that said the ground zero mosque would foster greater understanding of islam...

[mmercier]

Damn. I miss the black helicopters and contrails.

Guess a bunch of camel turd eating sandfleas living in mud huts in Global $hitsville will have to suffice till the 12/24/12 crap takes attention.

[James C. Bennett]

What can cancel out a nuclear blast?

[piytar]

I’m saying MAD as in enraged, willing go and also send our kids a continent away, pizzed off, they’re sub-human, kill ‘em all (don’t care if God sorts it out) ANGRY. Specifically, WWII.

[JSteff]

Discounting oil production the collective GNP of the entire Arab World is less than that of Holland.

So is that discounting that the rulers of the muslim world are the ones who hold that wealth? That would be completely counter to the reality that the leaders actually support the actions of the muslim world.

That may be contrary to what we know about the muslim mob given examples like Iran. The leaders only have power as long as they continue to feed the blood desires of the mob.

Once they stop feeding that blood lust, the mob will put in the seemingly bloodiest replacement they can find. They are a satanic cult who drives itself and produces the leader the mob wants.
