WASHINGTON (AFP) – The world's Muslim population will grow twice as fast as non-Muslims over the next 20 years according to a new study, which predicted that Muslims within a generation will make up more than a quarter of the global population.
Using fertility, mortality and migration rates, researchers at the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life project a 1.5-percent annual population growth rate for the world's Muslims over the next two decades, and just 0.7 percent growth each year for non-Muslims. The study, called "The Future of the Global Muslim Population," projects that in 2030 Muslims will make up 26.4 percent of the world?s population, which is expected to total around 8.3 billion people by then. That marks a three-percentage-point rise from the 23.4-percent share held by Muslims of the globe's estimated 6.9 billion people today, the study says. More than six in 10 followers of Islam will live in the Asia-Pacific region in 2030, and nuclear Pakistan, which has seen a rise in radical Islam in recent months, will overtake Indonesia as the world's most populous Muslim nation. In Africa, the Muslim population of the sub-Saharan country of Nigeria will be greater than that of Egypt in 20 years, the study projects. In Europe, Pew predicts the Muslim population will grow by nearly a third in 20 years, from 44.1 million people, or six percent of the region's inhabitants in 2010, to 58.2 million or eight percent of the projected total population by 2030.

Relative Humidity Increases During Rainstorms — Study Finds
Those are some impressive statistics. Growth twice as fast? I wonder what’s the cause. I know population growth is higher in many third world countries due to tradition and lack of birth control, but is there also a religious reason?
The only other reason is that some people need to be told what to do, when to do it and how to do it. That’s what this religion of peace is all about. If you are an independent thinker and want to pick a religion of your own choice, they want your death.
the problem with this exploding population scenario is that the population bomb will result in an inevitable outward thrust for land and loot.
Has happened throughout human history and I see no reason why these barbarians won’t look at the West and see sheep ripe for shearing—or shisk kabobs.
It won't last for ever, though. Muslims will one day decapitate the golden goose.
It’s happening now.
It’s called raising an army.
You know, one would think Americans of childbearing age would see this and think more seriously about their lives, about marrying earlier, about having larger families. But they don’t. Most young people today are hell bent on waiting until their early 30’s to marry and settle down.
Looks like those men need to wear burkas.. They are ugly as hell.
i cant blame kids for waiting and wanting things to be “stable” before making that commitment. What is more disturbing is that we are being outbreeded. Muslims will eventually populate the world because western society has taught since the sixties that children are a burden, and holds women back from achieving their potentia;, and therefore discouraged the practice...Oh...you are just a mom...well I am a CEO...the rhetoric says it all. Read “ The death of the west”. by patrick buchanon. Paints a lovely picture.

WAKE UP AMERICA.
And kick the ass of the Dhimmycrat in chief quickly !
In Europe the muslim rate is growing quickly!
The backclash will be tough and bloody and american dhimmyrats should STFU for once....when hard times will come
Oh, but there WILL BE A COUNTER-BALANCE...
I have to disagree.
You are blaming American women for being responsible in their choices, instead of blaming a culture that enslaves women - where women have no other role but producing children. In Islamic cultures, women are sex-slaves that serve the sole purpose of bearing and raising children for their masters.
One society embraces freedom, responsibility and growth. The other culture embraces slavery, misery and hate.
What’s the solution?
There is NO peacefull solutions.
And your dhimmyrat in chief is praising the current islamic “revolutions” in North Africa and Middle-East....
It’s CARTER bis
Don’t miss that bunch of incompetent croocks who are ruling your country
All ya gotta do is tax ‘em...just as the West has done. Take away 40-50% of their earnings..they won’t have as many kids.

This should scare thre absolute crap out of everyone.
If you love freedom and liberty
If you are a Christian Jew Atheist or any other religion or non religion.
You should be scared.
islam is an evil cult intent on destroying civilization and ruling the world.
