Just to take us back to the original posted subject . . .
How do all you people know so much about the stuff you're posting?
Were you taught all of it during history lessons at school . . . or has much of that knowledge been acquired over the years since you left?
;)

Well, it’s like most subjects - it’s easier to extend your knowledge of an area of knowledge if you’ve had a basic /introduction grounding in it…

The reason is simple: They are hung up on the phobia element of the term Islamophobia. A phobia must be irrational - so much can be proven by reference to accepted definitions. Also, racism towards Muslims must be shown to be discriminatory in the sense of violating or promoting violation of human rights. The woke brigade just don't think these matters through.
They need to find another word for it - like Anti-Islamism but then you have define Islamism. So you see the difficulty.
My argument is totally rational and cannot be classified as Islamophobic except by people who haven't thought this through.
Possibly, my critics may accuse me not thinking things through. My exposition and rationale shows that I have indeed given this significant thought. One of the arguments raged against me is that later generations of new cultures don't breed as prolifically as their forebears. Is that true if it is the tradition of the religion to breed? The take-up of Islam in the UK has been analysed by the BBC.

As I said before, wake up.

Show us your working - how do you arrive at the point of Muslims being in a majority in 90 years?
I did a quick excel spreadsheet using some basic assumptions (starting at 3.4 million Muslims in this country at this time, 5 members in each family (2 parents and 3 kids, which is the current U.K. Muslim fertility rate, increasing this to 4 children per couple every 30 years)) - in 3 generations of 30 years, assuming no one died (doubtful, since the current generation would be over 120), the Muslim population would be 36 million out of the 2110 U.K. forecast population of 97 million…
This, of course, is totally rubbish, because that actual ONS forecast is that by 2030 the U.K. Muslim fertility rate is 2.5 per family - this backs up the Pew findings that 2rd and 3rd generation Muslims in Europe have less children than the original immigrants. |
