Whereas it was completely wrong for a pregnant woman to be attacked by two men, In a separate incident Was it right for the French police to be attacked by a mob of 60 for enforcing the French burkha ban?

currently under 5% of the population. The prospect of Sharia law being introduced by the end of the month seems quite remote.

[chrisgel]

Maybe not by the end of the month.
//As of 2011, it is predicted that the world's Muslim population will grow twice as fast as non-Muslims over the next 20 years. By 2030, Muslims will make up more than a quarter of the global population//

[chrisgel]

And Sharia law has already been introduced in this country, albeit for muslims only at the moment.

[FredPuli43]

Chrisgel, and what do you think your link proves for the future?

[FredPuli43]

(By the above, I mean for the UK)

[Sir Alec]

I wish they would do something about Burka's in this country, since often they are just there to hide the bruises. And before you start, yes, I've seen the bruises and the women desperate to divorce their husbands, but are too afraid to go ahead with it.

European fertility. Top is Ireland at 2.7 per woman. France is next a 2.03 The UK is third at 1.98. Gosh, all those Muslims must be making a huge difference! The Irish must be absolutely swamped with them ! And at those rates, which cover every race and religion here, when exactly will Muslims here outnumber the rest?

[chrisgel]

FredPuli43 - I don't know but, more importantly, neither do you or anyone else.
What I do know is that radical Islams stated intention is to dominate the world. So, on the whole, I think the sensible thing to do is be vigilant.

[FredPuli43]

On all available figures, allowing for any higher birth rate among immigrants, there is no way that Muslims can outnumber the rest in future, but your post, chrisgel, does speak to a wider fear, that , whatever their numbers, there will be far more jihadists and fundamentalist Muslims making louder, and possibly more effective, claims for their ways to be accommodated.

FredPuli, it seems to me the number of radical Muslims grows each time the west launches a crusade against a Muslim country. I can't imagine why this should be. The latest step, it seems, is to take action against a secular regime in Syria, presumably in the hope that any Islamic group we arm will subsequently look kindly on us. This may be highly moral but it seems like lousy politics and I hereby predict no good will come of it.

jno, most people in UK don't want to interfere in these countries, most people have seen what happens when the politicians take these decisions, then of course you get the bleating, oh we can't let the people be slaughtered, so we must help by sending arms. they must make up their minds, either we stay out completely of any conflict, be it Syria, Afghanistan, or we go in, my choice would be never meddle, it has come to bite us every time. And fed the fanatics amongst us with a fervour they didn't have before, or simply an excuse to cause chaos on our shores, which is simple enough to do, we have seen that with the murders on 7/7 and the death of the poor soldier Lee Rigby.
I am opposed to any intervention, but i do find disturbing is how some on AB say we should send arms to the rebels, just who are they, and how do we know those arms won't end up being turned against us.

Fred, the bit about the Fatwa in Ireland down the page makes interesting reading. One would hope the Irish as a whole wouldn't stand for any nonsense.

Brenden , a census in 1921 showed Muslims accounted for more than 70% of the population in Kosovo.

[emmie]

this breaks it all down, not sure it helps Brenden but its all there.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Kosovo

[Brenden]

Yes corby, I am referring to Albanian muslims and Serbian - the Albanian muslims populated Kosovo then became the majority.

[emmie]

Brenden, the Albanians are the highest population in Kosovo, at least if you look right down the link..

[Brenden]

See what you mean em, sorry corby seems as though Albanian muslims were always the majority - but Kosovo still was seen as part of Serbia.

[THECORBYLOON]

Brenden, you will see then that Muslims have been the majority in Kosovo for decades, not just in the last fifty years even.

[emmie]

hope didn't throw the spanner in the works, i didn't know the ethnic mix, so was also interested to find out.

[Brenden]

You certainly did not throw a spanner in the works em, I stand corrected - never to late to learn.
