Census: from 2001-2011, Muslims have almost doubled from 1.5 million to 2.7 million

Why do people always assume atheism and science go handed in hand, so people's atheism may have stemmed from science, but many people's don't - most are in the middle. Oh and their are those that believe in science and our theist...

Oh live and let live what Uganda chooses to do is their business, although, I strongly disagree with the new law, but feeling superior when we are not perfect ourselves is pretty self-righteous ans stuck-up...

Stuff like this exist way before the mid 20th century - when ever there is a majority and minority you get this type of BS.

it offers no benefits whatsoever to our country

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the western world, not just the UK...

It's because more and more people are converting to Islam. I myself was an atheist and I'm now a muslim.

Inb4 negs... lol

Typically islamists and terrorists have been grromed within the mosque, so i dont beleive that for a second. the mosque is the recrutiing ground for extremists. The police got very little help in tracking down info about the 7/7 bombers and the later attempt from local communities and the mosque which was well documented.

th epoin tis the radicalized muslims are all influenced by quotes from hadith and the Qur'an, whcih is basically, islam in entirety. But no muslim will comment on this point. There is no doubt there are influenced by islam - all muslims take Islam far too seriously whether they are being radicalised or discussing a subject on TSR.

Out of curiosity, what made you convert?

When I was 6, my parents converted. So I've been muslim most of my life

This. Also, when society pushes it's blames on you, it expects you not to feel isolated, and to accept it and just get on with it. If you're being victimised quite often by society, understandably people of that demographic are going to be more likely to isolate themselves.

Notice how pre 1930's, the ghettos of the UK were inhabited by the Jews, and notice the shift in culture after WW2, when society was less scape-goaty about Jews, and Jews moved out of the ghettos and are now in all social classes

This is pretty much the same situation we have with Muslim and Black people today (Be they Muslim or not Muslim)

Personally, I can see through the media, and know some very nice people, but when you see publications like the DM publishing things such as "Muslim x does y z" when if a Christian or a Jew or an Atheist etc.. were to do the same thing, this would not be mentioned

Or how in the DM, when they do mention a Muslim's religion for a good thing, there is outrage in the comments about mentioning why their religion is mentioned, but those same people don't proclaim the same anger when the DM publishes a "bad" story

IF you say so. Even if what you said was truth (which I know isn't), this is based on your experience in a smaller environment.

The stats/study is based on a wider scale.

Lol have you been seeing any yourself? "£20 to not cover it up" this statement makes it look as though you are well informed on the prices these prostitutes charge.

Load of tosh.

Prove it. You made the claim. The burden of proof is on you

With all the fuss about the decline in those who identify as 'Christian' and the large rise in those with 'no religion', there has been less focus on the fact that Muslims have been the largest growing religion in England and Wales, rising from 3.0 per cent in 2001 to 4.8 per cent in 2011. Islam seems to have prospered through this growing trend of having no religion.

Why do you think this is? Immigration? Births into Muslim families? Conversions?

What effect do you think this will have?

And will this be a consistent rise every ten years or do you think it is foolish to predict religious demographics?

your either a troll or simply blindly ignorant. THe first is pathetic, the latter foolish and moronic.



I am (well was i dont work there now) - but not the reasons you insinuate. Working with the NHS GUM clinic we worked within many sectors, general public, healthy gay life, sex workers, adult film stars and cases of sexual abuse.

Look at historic census figures and what you find is the largest rise relates to atheism non-religion.

Science is killing religion. How ironic and fantastic!

Most of the birth rate will be driven by first generation immigrant families, that's the main reason Islamic populations rise so fast, people aren't converting they are just being born into the religion. Those living in the UK will likely fall in with UK cultural norms, so less children, less Islamic growth each generation. And as someone above pointed out they are now 4.8% of the population, hardly about to take over.
