The respected polling and research company Pew released the results of a very interesting study last week. Using a model of demographic projection based upon current trends, the authors have approximated the religious make-up of every country in the world in the year 2050.
Here (in no particular order) are some of the key facts.
In 2050…
– The Muslim population of Britain will make up 11.3% of the general population.
– In the Netherlands, Muslims will make up 9.4% of the GP.
– In Italy, Muslims will make up 9.5% of the GP.
– In Germany, Muslims will make up 10% of the GP.
– In France, Muslims will make up 10.9% of GP.
– In Sweden, Muslims will make up (and I found this staggering) 12.4% of the GP.
In the other countries of Western Europe, the percentage hovers somewhere between 4% and 10%. Eastern Europe is predicted to remain largely homogenous.
How do you feel about those numbers? I’m very interested in your responses.
Of course, as to whether this landmark study will serve to bolster our position or else infuse it with a new caution depends entirely on the pre-existing bias of its interpreters. Many of the most important questions raised by it are heavily subject to distortion by value. (Exactly how many Muslims is ‘too many’? – Are the swelling number of Hindus similarly problematic? – and so on).
From my perspective the figures are only mildly surprising. The figure for France, I will admit, is lower than I had presumed, while the figures for Sweden and Britain are much higher. Overall, the problem has very slightly changed its pattern of emphasis, but not altered significantly in its potential.
I suppose that all we can do with a study of this kind is to project our imaginations forward and try to judge the future. In attempting to do so, I think I mourn for Sweden more than anywhere else. The destiny I imagine is so out of kilter with Sweden’s history, with its character and with all its ancestors worked for that it seems freakishly unfair. This never needed to happen. There is nothing natural or inevitable about a Nordic country having a Muslim minority. Geographically and geo-politically, Sweden is blessed with isolation from most of the troublespots of the world. The fact it has been so altered is the result of traitorous policies that must one day be answered for.
Some might (and will) say that 12.4% of a population is not large enough to exert an effect on the majority, but I fear such people are simply wrong. African-Americans, the most influential cultural group in the US are only 13.2% of its national population. American Jews, another powerful element in the country’s national life, are 3%. 12.4% is a perfectly sufficient foothold for cultural transformation.
I have a feeling that even the parts of Europe that remain free from Muslim settlement will be negatively altered in character by all this. Gone will be that funny, cheese-eating euro-liberalism we used to mock so affectionately before the conquest found its feet. It’s replacement will be banal, repetitive, proletarian hate.
What the Pew organisation has forewarned us of is not quite the ‘end of the world’, but it is the end of the one we value and have sought, in vain it now seems, to protect.
D, LDN.
Yes, it’s a weird thing all right. And whenever cultures begin taking over, it seems there’s always some score from previously that must be settled, again.
Why on earth can’t there be a child quota of max 2 kids (or less, depending on income, for example)? And what’s with all the immigration? Aren’t there places on earth that can be started for refugees? Is every inch of real estate taken on planet earth? Why aren’t we seriously looking at some clean-cut remedies that exclude bloodshed?
I know, those have been tried… settlements and birth control.
I give up, then. If a world war broke out, would we even know whose side we’re on?

The official Muslim population of France is already 7.5%, the unofficial is probably higher still, so the idea that it will only be 10.5% 35 years from now I just don’t find credible. Factor in asylum seekers flooding into Europe from the Middle East with chaos increasing. Not unless there is a huge change in government policy towards asylum right across Europe, and an end to free movement in the EU, and a real shakeup of the welfare system. I don’t see governments in Europe changing course on these areas any time soon. Overall I’m a bit skeptical about these numbers.
We supposedly only have around 3% of the population of the UK as Muslims and already our supposedly conservative leaders are pushing to introduce draconian curbs on free speech:

So, the idea that when the numbers reach 10% or whatever that this wont affect our society in any way is just laughable and obviously false. It already is affecting our society, right now, at only 3%.

Ah thanks. I was confused because there was a 2011 Pew article saying in 2030 the France percent would be 10.3, and now they are saying in 2050 it will be 10.9, almost the same 20 years later. Anyway lies damn lies and predictions about the future… 🙂

It’s bizarre. The France figure is suspiciously low, but the Sweden figure is strangely high. If they are trying to manipulate public opinion, they’re going about it in a very strange manner. My own gut feeling is that the France 2050 figure is more likely to be 15% +. Perhaps the demographers think that some Algerians will adopt French atheism as they integrate.

France does not allow Ethnic polling. Therefore, those numbers are likely to be skewed. However, the French blog Fdesouche had made calculations based on Drepanocytosis vaccination numbers which are only administered to African, Asians and Caribbean people and their children. There is the map (In French). Another political website, using murkier sources estimate that “Indigenous French” will only amount to 50 per cent of the population in 2050 Here is this other website (still in French)

I think you’ve cracked it Dantes! I forgot all about that. Without ethnic polling, the data can only be roughly estimated.

Very interesting. Like you I find the France figure suspiciously low. A serious possibility is that the North African countries will apply for EU membership, which will be enthusiastically supported by their compatriots in France, thus facilitating a huge influx into France. As for the Swedes IMO they deserve what they get. I loathe the ideology of modern Sweden. And of course, the Muslim population will be generally younger than the ageing indigenous peoples. The only ray of hope I see comes from the large numbers of East Europeans moving West. These people are not stricken with liberal guilt and they understand the reality of Islam, some of their societies having been enslaved by it. When the time comes for a European civil war with Islam, as I am certain that it will, these East Europeans will be a reliable element.

Yes, East-Europeans will be a very valuable ally as the Islamisation of Europe progresses. Russia can play a role too (if it can move away from its current belligerence). I don’t think we should abandon Sweden though. True, they’ve made some very poor choices, but all Western countries have in recent decades.

There are already people who suggest Tunisia and Morocco be allowed into the EU. It’s quite frightening. Imagine the EU with Turkey, Tunisia and Morocco attached… Some people have a death wish.

I used to be very pro E.U. in my younger days and thought that including Turkey would be neat. Now I am not that sure… Still, Turkey is by far one of the most civilised muslim country on Earth, it’s just too sad that the people there is trapped between the Hammer of islamism and the anvil of military dictatorship.

It certainly used to be secular and forward-looking. I think the refusal (right in my mind) to allow the country into the EU prompted its return to Islamism.

We were right to refuse the ascension of Turkey. Remember that the Turks continue to illegally occupy a European nation (Cyprus) and commit human rights abuses against the Kurds.
