02/01/2009: "Muslim population 'rising 10 times faster than rest of society' (UK)"

The Muslim population in Britain has grown by more than 500,000 to 2.4 million in just four years, according to official research collated for The Times.

The population multiplied 10 times faster than the rest of society, the research by the Office for National Statistics reveals. In the same period the number of Christians in the country fell by more than 2 million.

Experts said that the increase was attributable to immigration, a higher birthrate and conversions to Islam during the period of 2004-2008, when the data was gathered. They said that it also suggested a growing willingness among believers to describe themselves as Muslims because the western reaction to war and terrorism had strengthened their sense of identity.

[ And there is no reason to suggest this trend will stop any time soon. One thing for certain is that the only politics that matters in the UK is over whether Islam is the future of ethno nationalism. ]
