The Islamic Future of Britain

[terryberry1]

Britain is in denial. There is no real public debate on a historic event that is transforming the country. Mention of it occasionally surfaces in the media, but the mainstream political class never openly discuss it.
What is that historic event? By the year 2050, in a mere 36 years, Britain will be a majority Muslim nation.
This projection is based on reasonably good data. Between 2004 and 2008, the Muslim population of the UK grew at an annual rate of 6.7 percent, making Muslims 4 percent of the population in 2008. Extrapolating from those figures would mean that the Muslim population in 2020 would be 8 percent, 15 percent in 2030, 28 percent in 2040 and finally, in 2050, the Muslim population of the UK would exceed 50 percent of the total population.
Would you be happy with this??

I deny that.

'Reasonably good data'

Hardly something to get worked up about.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

the OP has a point

how many mosques were there in Britain 50 years ago?

how many today?

how many will there be in 50 years time?

 

[knocky1]

don't you like football on a Saturday?

Using your extrapolation by 2060 they will exceed 100% and by 2070 will represent 200% of the UK population.

I don't know. How many?

 

[Don Quixote]

What can you do about it, if those figures are correct?

Oh come on.....

What's the worry.....

Bit optimistic that there will even be a Britain anyway in 50 years.....

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

I don't know. How many?

I don't know either,someone on here will come along and tell us,I'm sure

I can see the Daily Mail headlines now.

I intend to be living on the other side of the world, make of that what you will.

What can you do about it, if those figures are correct?

The problem with trend data like that it allows exstemists of each side to shout "they/we are taking over" and meally mouthed supplicants will stay silent. At some point Labour will decide "Well that enough new labour voters its time to turn the tap off". They will be in for a shock when that time comes as that the only reason the majority of Muslims will vote for them. At some point populations need to stabalise, ie chain immigration needs to go.

This is even more pressing given the high population density and floods coming from Europe, I doubt EU membership is sustainable in the long run.

Can't do anything about it - highly unlikely to be around in 2050 myself (I'd be 101 by then) but I don't like the thought of my great great grandchildren (should there be any) being subject to some of the more extreme interpretations of Sharia law.

Doubt it, the Union Jack will always be, but I wonder what the new flag would look like or if we would even bother

According to census data, 3% of the population in Britain in 2001 was Muslim. In 2011, it was 4.8%. Re-extrapolate from those figures and see what you get in 2050 - I can't be arsed.
