Muckle Oxters Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 That does not mean that the Muslim population will exceed the native population any time soon, if ever. However, it does suggest that they (Muslims) will exceed the natives(?) at some point. Unless, of course, they also succumb to the financial, social, and other regulatory pressures the native population is subject to that limits their family sizes. All possibilities should exist to the paranoid.!! Whit "financial, social, and other regulatory pressures" are da "native population" subject to dat doesna apply tae da muslim population (presumably du accepts dat "natives" can be muslim too?)

Colin Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 None at all!!! except that there is probably less pressure on their income as they do not gamble, they do not drink, they seem to prefer "home cooking" to "eating out", very few smoke, and they seem to prefer hard(?) work to sitting at home playing video games. There are a few "lessons" in there. Yes of course natives can be muslims. I was just pointing out that the cost of living, housing, etc. should(?) naturally limit the size of families to what could be afforded/accommodated.It is worth noting though that a lot of immigrant families will share housing etc. with close relatives. This in itself would(?) tend to limit the size of a family unit in terms of "offspring" due to restricted accommodation.. As far as I can see, they live within their means and they are better at it than "us". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watter Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) The Muslim population in the UK was 2.7 million at the last census which was nearly 10 years ago in 2011 as the Muslim population in the UK doubles every 10 years their number must now be 5 million. In 2031 - 10 million ? 2041- 20 million? 2051 - 40 million ? .https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/feb/11/muslim-population-england-wales-nearly-doubles-10-years Da article du links to doesna say "the Muslim population in the UK doubles every 10 years". It says it doubled between 2001 and 2011. It Whaur is du gettin dy statistics dat da muslim population doubles every 10 years? I dunna ken wan wye or da idder, but I'm interested to ken why du thinks dat number should be projected exponentially intae da future when da article du links to, yet again, doesna back up dy assertion. Perhaps it's worth reading an article dat is linked fae da one du posted - https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2014/oct/29/todays-key-fact-you-are-probably-wrong-about-almost-everything "Britons overstate the proportion of Muslims in their country by a factor of four, according to a new survey by Ipsos Mori that reveals public understanding of the numbers behind the daily news in 14 countries. People from the UK also think immigrants make up twice the proportion of the population as is really the case – and that many more people are unemployed than actually are." You can find the information about population growth from previous census dating back to 1961on this site .https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_the_United_Kingdom Edited October 12, 2020 by Watter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
