Muslim Demographics: The Islamic Tidal Wave
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
What is the Thread about? Informing others of what is going on in the world; knowledge is power. I saw the video and it blew my mind, I had no clue, so I figured why not pass it on. I did two tours in the sandbox, and I'll be d*mned if I want to see the Muslim Religion take over as the world's single largest religion, with the war on terror that we are facing. I hope others feel the same, but if not, everyone is entitled to their own feelings.
The choice of charts / graphs is not very helpful, particularly if you're trying to show that Islam is gaining popularity. The first two show that Islam skyrocketed from 21% all the way to 21.01% between 2005 and 2007. The percentage of Jews also jumped by 0.01% in that same period (which is even more impressive because they were almost 100x fewer than Muslims in 2005, yet both groups experienced the same growth relative to the global population).
The third chart puts things in numbers, but since none of the previous charts gave us those numbers, it isn't easily apparent if there have been any changes in the demographics. Unless you were to add up all the numbers and then calculate percentages, you wouldn't realize that the 2009 numbers reflect that 1.5% more people listed Christianity than in 2005. Rough math tells me that the gap between Hindus and Muslims has closed, meaning Hinduism is growing faster than Islam. Perhaps the thread should be renamed.

I saw that before too. I see your point Jay. It's f---ing crazy. We WILL be taken over by Muslims eventually. Not much we can do about it either. Yeah it pisses me off. But we can't outfuck them fast enough.
Now alot of the Muslim men are coming to North American Universities and marrying girls from here and these girls then Marry into a Muslim Law type Marriage. The rules they have are alot different too.
Not to say there aren't good Muslim's in the World. But there are some pretty f---ed up ones too.

you know, the people you were fighting in the "sandbox" are not ALL MUSLIMS. just a small percentage of them that are crazy as s---.
i was under the impression that Islam already was the biggest religion in the world. it's not like Islam's track record regarding human rights is any worse than Christianity's.
just saying.

Taking the radicals out of all equation on both sides I would much rather the worlds dominate religion be the muslims then the christians. Just my opinion.

I hate to blame the typical American consumer for this issue. If they didn't drive trucks and SUVs as everyday transportation the fanatics that hurt the good name of the Muslims religion wouldn't have any financing. So it is our own fault.

How dare you throw Americas own glutanous naive mentality back at them and blame them for their own problems, how unamerican of you. Dont you know, apple pie, and yadda yadda yadda bible yadda yadda yadda nazi liberal yadda yadda yadda ronald reagan yadda yadda yadda.
From what I gathered from the statistical information the amount of people in any given religion has went unchanged over the last 4 years. Yeah there are a lot of Muslims, but only a very small percentage (I believe it is 1% or less) of them are of the radical jihadist portion. It is interesting that there are still so many Catholics, I would have thought that most of them would have said "f this" by now and switch to something else.
^^^^lotsa people in latin america.
and russian orthodoxy is technically catholicism. that's another ton of people.
and a ton of missionary work in both asia and africa has left the world with a TON of catholics that european/western society wouldn't even really notice as there.

Catholics and Jews tend to identify as Catholic and Jewish no matter how far their lifestyles deviate from their doctrine.
That's one of the reasons that nearly every Catholic that runs for the presidency runs into whole "is he going to be served communion" controversy. Rarely do Catholic politicians actually uphold Catholic doctrine in their lifestyles and political ideology.
i still don't get the point of this thread?
i think a little bit of racism/prejudice may be behind it.
if it's religiously driven, the idea behind this thread, than the thing the OP should be concerned with this the growing number of agnostics. that's way more of a threat to the christian way of life than islam is.

So this video is about the overwhelmingly raising number of people in the Islamic religion and its projected effects of the world.

I just watched the video.
Interesting numbers.
It claims that the average Muslim couple in France has 8.1 children. I gotta find me one of those women, seriously.
It goes on to say that France will be an "Islamic republic" and Germany will be a "Muslim state".
That implies that the voters will change the entire legal system to accommodate such a fundamental change. I have a hard time seeing that happen.
Honestly, besides places like Iran and the Vatican, most countries are not run by religious bodies.
Indonesia has the world's largest population of Muslims yet it's not an "Islamic republic".
And the video ends with a call to action.
What's the call to action? That Christians should impregnate their women at a faster rate?

Where's the "sandbox"? Afghanistan? Iraq? Somewhere else?
If your grandfather did two tours in Japan, would he be d*mned to see Buddhism and Shintoism take over the world?
If he had done two tours in Germany and/or Italy, would he be d*mned to see the Christian religion take over the world?
Btw, I'm not trying to be abrasive. Just trying to see the motivating factors here. Thanks.
