The likely future picture of global Islam

Recently, Muammar Gaddafi stated that “There are signs that Allah will grant victory to Islam in Europe without sword, without gun, without conquest. We don’t need terrorists, we don’t need homicide bombers. The 50 plus million Muslims (in Europe) will turn it into the Muslim Continent within a few decades.”
Irrespective of his summersaults in global politics, he could be right this time. The picture gets clearer if one looks at various research works on demographic changes of western countries in relation to the Muslim immigration and their fertility rate. The average Fertility Rate per family amongst the westerners is 1.65 as compared to the Muslims’ which is 8.1. An interesting picture emerges when this is translated into demographic change. According to studies, it is known that in order for a culture to maintain itself for over 25 years, it has to keep a Fertility Rate of 2.11 children per family. Anything less than that would mean a decline in the culture. At the rate of 1.9, the reverse becomes difficult and it takes 80-100 years to correct itself. At 1.3 or less the reversal becomes impossible. Keeping these figures in mind, let us study the culture growth rates of certain western countries.
The figures of 2007 show that; in France, the Fertility Rate was 1.8; in England it was 1.6; in Greece 1.3; Germany 1.3; Italy 1.2; Spain 1.1; and in EU as a whole with 31 countries, it was 1.38. These figures are indicative of a change in the demography of Europe in a few years. In other words; the European culture as we know it will cease to exist in the coming decades. Remember that we are talking of culture not the population which has not declined because of immigration. Statistics show that since 1990 over 90% of immigration was from the Muslim countries.
As a result of this change; in France 30% of children age 20 years and below are Muslims. In big cities such as Paris and Marseille, the ratio goes up to 45%. In southern France there are more Mosques than churches. The situation in UK is not much different either. In last 30 years, the Muslim population there has raised from 82,000 to 2.5 Millions, which is a 30 fold increase. There are over 1000 mosques, many of which were converted from churches. The situation remains identical in other major countries of Europe. For example, in the Netherland, 50% newborns are Muslims and in next 15 years, half of the population will be Muslims. Keeping the demographic decline in view, the Germen government reported that, “The fall in the (German) population can no longer be stopped. Its downward spiral is no longer reversible.” It further stated, “It will be a Muslim state by the year 2050”. In Belgium, 50% newborns are Muslims and reportedly its Muslim population is around 25%. Its government recently announced that one third of all European children will be born to Muslims families by 2025. As a result of the high growth rate, the present 52 Million Muslims in Europe will reach to 104 millions in 20 years. It is the same story in Russia. There are 23 million Muslims living in that country which ratios 1:5. It is calculated that soon 40 % of Russian army will be Muslims.
In Canada the FR is 1.6 against the required rate of 2.11 causing a gradual decline in non Muslim population. Because of lenient immigration policies; from 2001 to 2006 the population increased by 1.6 million out of which 1.2 million were Muslim immigrants shrinking the national ratio between Muslims and non-Muslims. In the USA, until recently, the FR was 1.6. It increased to 2.11 with the Latino influx but still fell short of the required number to sustain culture. Against this shortfall, the Muslim population in America rose from 100,000 in 1970 to 9,000,000 (9 million) in 2008. What will happen in the coming few decades, is anybody’s guess.
Four years ago, a meeting of 24 countries from OIC was held in Chicago. It’s communiqué mentioned that,” we must prepare ourselves for the reality that in 30 years there will be 50 million Muslims living in America” That alarmed the Evangelicals and the Catholic Church. The church recently confessed that Islam surpassed their membership numbers and with the current rate of growth, in 5-7 years it will be dominant religion of the world.
These are statistical facts, which portray the likely picture of Islam on the world map. And this makes the radical Christians and Jews worry to the core. As a result, they put their centuries-old rivalry on the side and came up with ‘Judeo-Christian Fraternity’ in recent years to counter the threat jointly. The Muslims should understand their concerns and put themselves in their shoes as to what would have been their response if the growth scale was reversed. With one pretext or another, the right wingers in Judeo-Christianity have been struggling to diminish Muslims in more ways than one in the last few decades. Their struggle took various forms and shapes such as social, cultural, tribal, racial and religious. They did it with apparent designs of pursuing justice without being perceived as grievance. Having total control over world media they have been successful to a large extent but not enough to reverse the demographic trends.
For such a reversal, they need more than mere propaganda. To get the desired mathematical scales, they need to create situations in which;
- Wars break out between Muslim countries where weapons of mass destruction supplied by the west are used.
- Muslims take up arms against each other on the bases of sectarianism, ethnicity and even language.
- Disastrous diseases are spread by artificially creating fatal viruses; or contaminating certain vaccines to spread lethal diseases. Some serious researchers believe that this venue was tried through Small Pox vaccination in 1970s and 1980s. Some blame spread of AIDS to a suspect vaccine program involving Simian Immunodeficiency Virus found in the sooty mangabey (known as the White-collared monkey), which is indigenous to western Africa.
- Spread poverty to lethal levels in the third world countries with high percentage of Muslims.
In situations such as these, the political leaders of Muslim countries with support of Muslim scholars, philosophers and knowledgeable should frame a comprehensive universal formula to counter the ill designs of their enemies, not by fighting with them but by;
- Concentrating and improving on education especially in science and technology.
- Modernising the religious education in Madrisa making English and science compulsory subjects.
- Stop killing each other and the followers of other religions.
- Banning hate literature and encouraging fraternal material in cultural, social and religious fields.
- Educating the Muslim public through Friday congregations on how to live in harmony with tolerance and understanding.
The time is on the side of Muslims. All they need to do is to wait with compassion and patience and not to become tools in the hands of their enemies. Very soon, the world demographic picture is going to change in favour of Muslims, Insha’Allah.

“The global war on terror cannot be won through counterterrorism alone…The immediate war goal must be to destroy militant Islam and the ultimate war goal the modernization of Islam,” – Dr. Daniel Pipes, the famous anti-Islam Jewish expert on Islam, writing in The Jerusalem Post, April 6, 2004.
The term “radical” has been applied to many people, who were considered threat to western colonization, such as Nelson Mandela, Rev. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, Sayyid Qutb, Dr. Ali Shari’ati (the Shia Qutb), Sayyid Maududi, Imam Khomeini, and others. However, now this term is being associated with any Muslim who dare to criticize foreign powers occupying tradionally Muslim lands espectially the Zionist regime in Jewish occupied Palestine. The western historians never called Nazis as “Judeo-Christian radicals” or IRA as “Catholic radicals” or the Jewish terrorist groups which killed tens of thousands of Palestinian natives – as “Jew radicals”.
Historically, many of Biblical prophets were “radicals” for challenging the status quo and taught against the corrupt and racist ruling classes – such as Abraham, Lot, Moses, Jesus – and of course the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), who became “the living example of progressive, emancipatory radicalism,” – as decribed by Michael Hart in his book, ‘The 100?.
The western governments, Jewish lobby groups and Christian Zionist organizations are investing hundreds of millions dollars each year to find and project the so-called “moderate Muslims”; fund Islamophobe intellectuals and dozens of anti-Islam think tanks (Rand, Ford Foundation, Asia Foundation, etc.), and the Jewish-controlled mass-media of course. Interestingly, to be a “moderate Muslim” too, has some limitations.
For example, Dr. Tariq Ramadan 46, found it the hard way in 2004 when he was declared as threat to “the US security” for criticizing his fellow Jewish ‘liberal intellectuals’, Dr. Bernard Lewis, Dr. Bernard-Henry Levy, Dr. Daniel Pipes, and Dr. Bernard Kouchner – for defending Israel, right or wrong. The Geneva-born Tariq is the maternal grandson of the founder of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, Imam Hasan al-Bana (martyred in 1948). The “moderate Muslim” was on his way to take-up his teaching appointment at the University of Notre Dam (Indiana), begining August 25, 2004. Tariq Ramadan used to be a darling of Jewish media for saying: “The 7th century Medina model of Islamic State is not only a dream. It is a lie.” Tariq also consider Shari’ah’s capital punishments as “inhumane”! Tariq’s other distorted views of Islam can be read in the interview he gave to Rosemary Bechler, Open Democracy, July 14, 2004.
Dr. Tariq Ramadan also maintained a distance from his elder brother, Hani Ramadan, a French school teacher, who is known for his so-called “radical” Islamic views. Hani wrote an article in the major French newspaper, Le Monde, to explain why Islam has such a zero tolerance for adultery and that it followed the Jewish biblical punishments of stoning to death a woman found guilty of committing adultery, for which Hani was suspended for teaching in the school.
Islam clearly prohibits a ‘pre-planned’ violence against civilians and acts of terror. However, terrorism and radicalism are two completely different things. It all depends who is using these terms. For the foreign occupiers of Muslim lands – all resistance to their occupation is considered as terrorism. Similarly, every Muslim who is proud to be following the Islamic Shari’ah (which doesn’t divide Islam into two independent spheres, one for the mosque and the other for the State – as is the case in Judaism and Christianity), is labeled as a “radical” or “terrorist” or “Jihadi”.
Islam is the religion of “the middle way” – “Thus have We made you an Ummah of the middle way, that ye might be witness over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourself,” – Holy Qur’an 2:143. However, Islamic message do challenges the institutionalized injustices, inhumanity, immorality, greed, and other evils in the world by establishing a new social order built on bonds of ethics, justice and trust. Islam rejects all forms of racism, caste system, all forms of oppression, usury, abuse of laws for the ‘chosen ones’ and dehumanization of man on the basis of colour, nationality and religion. All these principles are considered “radical”, especially in the societies controlled by the Zionist-controlled-governments (ZOG).
So, in conclusion, the next time some jerk call you “a radical Muslim”; don’t apologize, be proud.
There can never be peace in the world without justice. Everyone, including Muslims, need justice. But justice cannot be achieved without effort, both intellectual and physical. It involves challenging the power of the corrupt and greedy world elites, who do see Islam as a “radical” threat to their political, economic and cultural domination.

well said rehmat, it might be pertinent also for the readers here to know that Allah has promised that this deen will overcome all other deens in the koran:
IT IS ALLAH WHO HAS SENT HIS MESSENGER WITH THE RELIGION OF TRUTH,THAT IT MAY SUPERSEDE AND OVERCOME ALL OTHER RELIGIONS EVEN THOUGH THE IDOLATERS DETEST IT! AND ALLAH IS A WITNESS TO THIS !
TODAY ISLAM STANDS AT THE THRESHHOLD OF BEING THE NUMBER ONE RELIGION OF THE WORLD ,INSTEAD OF WORSHIPPING MEN AND MONKEYS, STATUES,WE WORSHIP THE TRUE GOD KNOWN AS ALLAH!
christianity came 600 years before us in its present form, where will we be in 50,100 , 200, 400 years time???
the obvious is staring the non beleivers in the face if they care to see. they will war aginst muslims as they are doing, spread diseases, cause disunity but Allah has also planned and he is best of planners!
since 1950 will someon please provide how many muslims have been murdered by so called civilized people from the west and the barbaric staue worshippers in the east and the other godless heathens?
it runs in to 10,s of millions and yet we are counted as radicals???????
bullshit!!!!!! never trust kaffirs said the ashabi,s , it would be better for the muslims to heed that advice!

islam is a growing world wide problem. They should be made to stay in their own little sand castles and the ones in North America sent back. islam of any kind is a backward, stupid, fanatic rousing “religion” bent on world domination (or damnation) and should be stopped now in their tracks.

It would seem to me that Islam was created due to the injustices of the Roman Catholic Church in the 700 AD period, when the Cathoic church prohibited learning and forced people by the inqusition to accept their authority. Islam was a religion of learning and tolerance.
The current so called Islamic radicals are no better or worse than the Roman Catholic inquisitirs.

Here is my point. Islam like any other religion focuses on core values of inter human relationships and equality of all. People over the years have used and abused religions for personal and political gains by talking about things out of context. I trust a doctor. Not because they are Christians, Muslim, Buddhist or Jew or of any other faith. But because they help us to ease our sufferings.
We shall not forget we all all the same, some become victims of circumstances go the other way, other who are more fortunate cherish. So we should tolerate and spread love that is what life is all about.
Peace.

Islam is a dark religion. The reason why it is thriving at this time is because we live in a dark epoch. Islam is not the only negative thing that is increasing. If you notice, many other negative are also increasing.
This concept is well known to Jewish Kabbalists who are the best theologians and one group that *really* understands what is going on.
The West can decide to destroy Islam physically by bombing Mecca and Meddina and ban the Koran from the West.
But the real solution to the Islam problem is the removal of the Al Aqsa mosque from Jerusalem. When this happens Islam – the great usurper – will lose its power and collapse from within.

People existed before any religion. The problem lies with the physical nature of the peoples in certain areas of the world, living in opposite environments. There were people living in the jungles and sand dunes long before any religion entered the social environment.
My point is that a person is refined by religion by believing in something that is superior to him. Usually the image is all forgiving and compassionate, that is what we all aim to be.
But that same person lives in a desert, a sparse unforgiving environment. Their ancestors were either nomads or lived around a river or oasis or next to the sea, there is little else to offer. No trees, no seasonal fruits etc.
Compare it to a person from the tropics, seasonal fruits, rain for fresh water, shade from trees, plains but still hot and humid with monsoons, tropical diseases, etc. maybe 2 or 3 seasons at most.
Then you have a person who settles in an environment with four seasons. Its cold so you burn some wood that you cut down in the forest, using metal from a mine to make an axe. Try doing that in a jungle or a desert.
Our nature of being, of reacting is buried deep within our dna and at this stage mankind needs something to look up to, to prevent us from becoming total animals.
Arabs tend to behave in a certain way and Islam is curbing those emotions. Asians also have their particularities and so is prescribed another form of belief. The real troublemaker here is our emotions, egos and the fact that we are not in control of it.

As a person that has not been harmed by any Muslim at all, Australian and not religious,with rarely a Muslim in my sight, I cannot see how a book that can be read,is so devastatingly dangerous,that no applied intelligence is required to read it with a resultant understanding.Looking from afar,with all these Muslims in Europe now,and only sporadic statistics re criminality,then even Gadaffi could be wrong.What my objections maybe, are perhaps not a comprehension or deeply ingrained non-acceptance of the Koranic manner of living,but, that which might be me,not willing to accept completely,depending on the individuals in my experience.As a non-believer in much other than matters Koranic, I cannot see the point of a couple of commentaries here.

The only way Islam can thrive is if we allow it to. At any point in time we can kick them out, and turn the middle east into a glass parking lot. That has to really irk you. If you really become a problem, we will put the hammer down.

That is all fine and good that Muslums are going to be the world majority, but who is going to run the global infrastructure, to be the doctors, lawyers, scientists? We have to many taxi drivers as it is, and most muslums in europe live in self made ghettos relying on handouts from the non- muslum host nation. When a parasite allows the host to fade away the parasite can not survive much longer. The solution is integration into the 1st world. With mass immigration of muslums from 3rd world countries all we see is an increase of crime, a decrease in quality of life mostly for the host nation. To come to a new country just for the sake of having more kids than you can afford to support in the name of Islam is insane, and not just for muslums, but for any religion. The plan will all be clear soon enough when the trap springs, when you have most nations allowing easy immigration for muslums and not so easy for others you start to wonder. If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. Good luck Islam;-)

The Islam is the punishment the western world will get, because the western world did not obey their God and Jesus Christ anymore.
Only repntence can turn this!
In the old testament, the jewish people are a living example to this.
Repentence to God, and they got God on their side again.
And God destroyed their enemies in the end, time after time.

The time has come to let hammer down and so is happening .Insects can breed but can’t rule .The movement launched to save the humanity and other life form from environmental imbalance and biodiversity loss clearly demands the elemination of those who are dreaming to reign the world through demographic change .The supporters of such dream are worst than insects .They don’t deserve the previlages of human rightr meant for human being and not for insects.
