Raising the birth rate is extremely difficult and immigration will destroy a country's culture if not managed properly.
For an interesting case study, compare Japan (who refuses to allow mass immigration and is at risk of going extinct) and the UK (who has embraced it and is on the way to becoming Muslim-majority). It'll be interesting to see in 50 years which one has had better outcomes.

- mariusor 1y agoAccording to Wikipedia[1] you are quite off base as Muslims form only 6.5% of the population as opposed to Christians (46.2%) and a-religious (37.2%). [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_the_United_Kingdom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_the_United_Kingdom

Granted 2009 was a while ago but they're still the fastest growing population in the UK by a lot.
- ak_111 1y agoYou are not making your point any favour. It is right that everyone is calling you out for your xenophonbic BS. If it grew 10x between 2001 and 2009 (starting from a very small base), then between 2009 and 2023 it grew by only 0.3x (see graph below). So rate of growth went from 10x to 0.3x in around a decade, this is a hugely significant deceleration. It actually implies muslim community as portion of population is heading lower. https://new.islamchannel.tv/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/638605f5c9e62b76c461fffb_religious-profile-2.png https://new.islamchannel.tv/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/63860...
- nicolashahn 1y agoYou're not comparing the same stats. The original stat was growth rate compared to the rest of the country. Islam's overall growth rate has been fairly steady for decades, although admittedly it has slowed, but at a rate that could conceivably stop above Christianity, which your chart shows is decreasing about as rapidly as Islam is rising. I think it's reasonable to project that it may settle below Islam eventually. Realistically, there will be continued backlash by native English and that may temper immigration, though even if immigration stops, the birth rate of Muslims in the UK is still much higher than native population. However - if we're including atheist then clearly that'll be the majority position.

- erklik 1y ago> Raising the birth rate is extremely difficult > the UK (who has embraced it and is on the way to becoming Muslim-majority) .. Seems like we've found a fix for ;) I wonder what's the difference between Muslims in the UK vs Japanese folks.
