Report Offers Surprises on Muslims’ Growth (We Are Doomed)
New York Times ^ | January 27, 2011 | Laurie Goodstein

Posted on 01/26/2011 10:05:07 PM PST by lbryce

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.

Not so - when the french scholars went down to al-Andalus in Spain- they were amazed to find the 2nd largest library in the world. The largest one being in Baghdad - home of the Umayad Caliphate. tt was here europeans received their own heritage back - Plato, socrates, and Pythagoras - Translated back from Arabic into european languages by the jewish scholars in Cordoba, That is the fact,

Where would Dante have been - If he had never received his Poet guide Vigil's great work "Aenid"? - 250 years before Dante's birth it was completely unknown in all of europe.

Should we talk about medicine and construction next?

As has been pointed out continually, the “Moslem World” was a place that fell to Mohammedan conquest. These advances, most of which originated in Persia, India, and China, were already in place when the Mohammedan savages decapitated the ruling classes.

As Mohammedanism took hold over the populace and culture, all scientific advancement ground to a halt and began even to recede into the filthy, backwards, stupidity that dominates and overwhelms the entire Mohammedan world today.

norISLAM -Dr. Peter Hammond.:

Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components. Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.

When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well. Here’s how it works.

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:
United States — Muslim 0.6%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1.8%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in: Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:
France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:
Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in: Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:
Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in: Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in: Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

‘Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel. — Leon Uris, ‘The Haj’

It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by Sharia Law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large.

The children attend madrasses. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate. Today’s 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world’s population. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Some say Muslims will exceed 50% of the world’s population by the end of this century. ~Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book - “Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threats.

Oh, please. The “Muslim world” was only ahead because it conquered advanced cultures - and then sucked the lifeblood out of them and lapsed back into its usual ignorance. Mohammed couldn’t read and in fact few of his people could; the later Koran wasn’t even supposed to be translated out of Arabic, so few people could read it.

When the Muslims swept over Spain, Sevilla was probably the most advanced city in Europe because Spain had been Rome’s most important colony and many of Rome’s thinkers, writers and even emperors were born in Spain. Several important early Church councils were held there, and in the 7th century, around the time that the illiterate Mohammed was attacking developed civilizations in the Middle East and only decades before the Islamic invasions had spread to Europe, St Isidore of Sevilla wrote a compendium of “all human knowledge,” which involved the sciences, Classical sources (those that had not been lost to Europe during the barbarian invasions), medicine, etc.

And Spain’s large Jewish population continued with its own tradition of learning, which led to the great doctors and medical practices that the Muslims then tried to claim as their own when they invaded. The only reason this learning survived as long as it did was that the invaders were fairly recently forcibly-converted Baghdadis and, later, Persians, who came from cultures that had been very advanced until they were overrun by the Arab followers of Mohammed. It seems to take about two generations for Islam to put out the lights in a culture, but in the meantime Muslims always take credit for the goods of that same culture that they are busy killing.

The largest library in Christian Europe until at least 1150 was at Avignon.

Where they had 2000 volumes.

In Cordoba - Al- Andalus- 150 years earlier - They had over 400,000 volumes -

With over 500 full time librarians. And the entire world, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traveled there and studied together. In peace.

Is that what your talking about?

If you liked that, then you will really like this.... which should be required viewing for schoolkids, jailbirds and all the “nation of islam”. If the black folk had a beeter handle and understanding of history they would probably respond differently.

Muslims only need a certain percentage of population to become domineering.

Demanding, yes - domineering, no.

At some point it can only be hoped that Europeans get fed up enough with the muslim cr*p to send them back to where ever they or their ancestors came from.

Personally I would build stores aimed at the Islamic market, walk in , drive in even fly in.

Stores supplying bomb vests and vehicles designed to blow up and flying lessons with no chapter of proper landings.

With Federal funding all Moslems can get free training and materials. Islamic Job Corps.

All are required to pass a final test for graduation.

Grades will be given out for the best engineering from common materials and the ability to get past normal detection.

Upon passing the course they will get their BA (Bombing Acceptance) placed upon their headstones.

He had to get the monks at St Catherine's Monestary to put the Koran into written form. To this day, by his orders, St. Catherine's is protected ...Muslims are not to mess with it. At least that's what I read somewhere.

I know people who have been to St. Catherine's but have never mentioned any of this.

Or perhaps just prematurely...

Repost in 20 years and...who knows?

That said, it seems to me there’s quite a difference between the various muslims in Europe, for example in the UK and Germany. The UK has lots of Pakistani muslims who are not only vocal but also religious fanatics. Germany has lots of Turks who are to a degree vocal, but more often ‘just’ violent street thugs. Neither of which is good, but as for taking over the country, I’d say the UK is at a greater risk.
