Islam in Europe
Islam is the fastest-growing religion in Europe.[44][45] T H A T I S S C A R Y !
According to the Pew Research Center, the Muslim population in Europe (excluding Turkey) was about 30 million in 1990, 44 million in 2010 and is expected to increase to 58 million by 2030; the Muslim share of the population increased from 4.1% in 1990 to 6% in 2010 and will continue to increase over the next 40 years, reaching 10% in 2050.[8] There were approximately 19 million Muslims in the European Union in 2010 or about (3.8%).[46]
Data for the rates of growth of Islam in Europe reveal that the growing number of Muslims is due primarily to immigration and higher birth rates.[47] Eric Kaufman of University of London argue that the main reason why Islam is expanding, is not because of conversion to Islam, but primarily to the nature of the religion as he call it “pro-natal”, where Muslims tend to have more children.[48] Muslim women today have an average of 2.2 children compared to an estimated average of 1.5 children for non-Muslim women in Europe.[8] While the birth rate for Muslims in Europe is expected to decline over the next two decades, it will remain slightly higher than in the non-Muslim population,[8] except for Dutch-Turks, who have a lower birthrate (1.7) than the native Dutch population (1.8).[49][50]
Based on the current decline rate of Islam in Europe, in 2030, Muslims are projected to make up more than 10% of the total population in 10 European countries: Kosovo (93.5%), Albania (83.2%), Bosnia-Herzegovina (51%), Republic of Macedonia (40.3%), Montenegro(21.5%), Bulgaria (15.7%), Russia (14.4%), Georgia (11.5%), France (10,3%) and Belgium (10.2%).[8] There are around 100,000 Muslim converts in the UK.[51][52] France has seen conversions to the Islamic faith double in the past quarter century. In France there are an estimated 100,000 Muslim converts, compared with about 50,000 in 1986.[53]
