Is the future Muslim?

[Lonnie]

Okay, I know its the Daily Mail, but this is a question that must be in everyones head, and it worries me, bacause if it happens, and I think it will in my lifetime, it'll be Sharia Law we'll be under.

you have just got to stop trying to prove your argument with well reasoned, rational facts - its the purblind you are arguing/ communicating with - they don't do facts just hyperbole

Ruby, maybe you see it as rational now, but you have the blinkers on as far as the future is concerned.

Fender, thanks for that. I'll study it tomorrow if you don't mind. Bed calls and Mr N has to be up at 5. Night everyone.

Another point that has been overlooked (although it was mentioned a few pages back) - even if 40% of young</> Musims support Sharia law, you can be almost certain that number will fall as they grow older.

The figures from that same survey point up this fact - as people get older, they get progressively less radical.

I myself used to be a fire-breathing socialist, and now I'm much more 'centre-left'.

You get older, you buy stuff, you mellow out.

To summarise, you go from listening to Iron Maiden...to listening to Katie Melua and you won't even notice it happening.

Sorry, also realised that my figures are actually double the amount - I didn't take into account that men can't give birth to children yet.

So we'd now have to have four generations (all breeding at an average of 5 per family - so when one can't give birth, someone else will have to have 10 children to make up for it!) to get even nearly close to a majority. Of course, this assumes that all other races in the UK are not having a neutral effect - ie they are breeding at the same rate as they are dying.

Smashing. Can we put this debate to bed now?
