I'm glad I'll be gone before this demographic prediction becomes reality. It would sicken me to visit Europe and witness this change--truly.

A fifth of European Union will be Muslim by 2050
by Adrian Michaels, The Telegraph
August 8, 2009
LONDON: Last year, five per cent of the total population of the 27 EU countries was Muslim. But rising levels of immigration from Muslim countries and low birth rates among Europe's indigenous population mean that, by 2050, the figure will be 20 per cent, according to forecasts.
Data gathered from various sources indicate that Britain, Spain and Holland will have an even higher proportion of Muslims in a shorter amount of time.
The UK, which currently has 20 million fewer people than Germany, is also projected to be the EU's most populous country by 2060, with 77 million people.
The findings have led to allegations that policy-makers are failing to confront the widespread challenges of the "demographic time bomb".
Experts say that there has been a lack of debate on how the population changes will affect areas of life from education and housing to foreign policy and pensions.
Although some polls have pointed to a lack of radicalisation in the Muslim community, little attention is being given to the integration of migrants, it is claimed, with fears of social unrest in years to come. |
But of course the Dutch nationalist who openly protests this trend and those like him will continue to be derided as neo-Nazis and the socialists will continue to swell with pride over how multicultural and open to the outside world Europeans have become. Meanwhile, the liberties they take for granted will be called into question, ignored, and even challenged all in the name of diversity by those who main purpose for emigrating was to seek a better economic life only. As with many illegal Mexican immigrants to the U.S., they will live in their cloistered communities like fiefdoms within the State, often fomenting distrust for and even contempt of Western liberalism. Some among them will gravitate toward jihadists and will be increasingly difficult to monitor their comings and goings. And ultimately, one doesn't need to be a doomsayer to see that Western civilization itself will come under threat, and there will be a crisis of ethos.
Yet back in the lands from which these Muslims hail, little progress in gender apartheid will have been made and no reciprocal effort will have been made to welcome Christians to even the slightest of the same extent. And were it to come to pass by some miracle of economic rejuvenation in one of the more enlightened Gulf States, the very same European socialists will condemn it as neo-colonialism, not for a moment labeling the same among Muslims in Europe. |

I had to remove a religiously derogatory term you used for an identifiable religious group, in contravention of the TOS.
Thank you for understanding. |
