According to the 2001 census 1,536,015 Muslims are living in England and Wales, where they form 3% of the population, in Scotland they represent 0.84% of the population (42,557). The Northern Ireland census indicated 1,943 Muslims.

Hardly what you would call significant.

Correct. But, how many illegal Mexicans did we have 10-20 years ago? Not the current 25 million or so they estimate now. So, the cancer grows here and it continues to grow there.

Birth rates aren't telling us of a problem today - but a problem for future generations. Taking your figures of 1,536,000 Muslim as 3% of the population, I did the math to project this over a number of generations. I used the article's Muslim birth rate of 3.5 (per woman). Since the combined birth rate of Muslims & non-Muslim's in England is given together (as 1.6) I first calculated the birth rate of non-Muslim English to be 1.5.

Here's the numbers for England alone:

              Muslim Pop. Non-Muslim Pop. Muslim % Eng. Pop 
Today          1,536,000    49,500,000      3%
1 generation   2,688,000    37,125,000      7%
2 generations  4,704,000    27,843,750     14%   
3 generations  8,232,000    20,882,813     28%  
4 generations 14,406,000    15,632,109     48%

** And all of this ignores continuing immigration of Muslims into England as an accelerator of this trend.

Westerners ignore this at their own risk.

In a featured article in “Commentary” magazine (Dec.’04) titled “The Islamization of Europe?” by David Pryce-Jones, it states that there are more than 20 million Islamists in Europe. Britain has more than 2 million, France 6 million, and Germany 3 million.
But just to focus on the estimated numbers today is to completely miss the point. All authorities and experts agree that extrapolating from present data it’s a demographic fact that Europe is rapidly being Islamicized. A declining birthrate among the indigenous population combined with a rapidly increasing Islamic population means that the Muslim growth is exponential.
By the way, for any who feel things are not so bad in Britain, I recommend Melanie Phillip’s widely acclaimed “Londonistan.” I guarantee your thinking will change.
