Fifth of the European Union will be muslim by 2050

So?

Does that assume Turkey joins?

No, its a projection of the Muslim birth rate in Europe.

I don't want to live in a Europe where 20% of the population is Muslim. We have enough trouble with them as it is.

What is your point, or rather what is their point? Trying to get people to worry about nothing.

That doesn't seem bad.

And we have no way of knowing how birth rates may fluctuate over the next forty years.

Well surely Turkey's possible (probable?) membership by 2050 is a very important consideration!

So? That will make the other 4/5 of Europeans non-Muslims.

I'm getting sick of these 'Eurabia' conspiracy theory threads.

I think they'd give up if they don't get in by 2050! :biggrin:

I would expect Turkey to join in a couple of years if they manage to meet the EU's requirements....

What are you going to do about it?

Does it really matter if 20% of the population have different religious beliefs to you? I smell an intolerant bigot.

Will the EU even exist by then?

40 years is a bloody long time.

OH NOEZZZZ :eek3:

I don't care, if I am being brutally honest. So what? If you don't like it, go elsewhere, because pricks like yourself are not needed.

Look at his rep compared to his posts....I don't think arguing with someone like him is really going to help :smile:

I have no problem if Europe was made up of 20% Sikhs or Hindus. I am disgusted with the possibility of 20% of my European homeland being made up of Muslims. A people so alien and different to us that it threatens our existence. Your people have a track record of not integrating and imposing your disgusting beliefs on us.

Muslims belong on muslim countries, muslims do not belong in secular, democratic europe. You are an insult to everything my ancestors fought for.

In 40 years time I will be living on the moon. See. I made a projection based on nothing really. Current birth rates will not be the same to those in 10 years time, let alone 20 or 30. And even if this comes true and you are as scared as you seem to be, you can just move cant you? Hell, if you want Ill reserve a place for you in the moon.

Turkey have a long way to go to fully meet all the requirements of the Acquis Communautaire.
