Feels weird to call them ethnically French, especially when the context being presented is religion.
The assumption being made is that they’ll ditch the religion after four generations? I don’t see data for that assumption, maybe it is not 100%, but its certainly not as low as 20% apostacy.
Thus I would take serious issue with that statement, it is evidence of an ethnic or religious replacement.
- pona-a 1y agoReligion isn’t ethnicity. Did England become less British after Catholics fell from a vast majority to ~10% post-Reformation? And the actual numbers still don’t show a majority shift. Even if every Muslim in France kept their religion, they’d be ~10% of the population — far from "replacement".
- dijit 1y agoTake that up with the author of the article. Also, you missed the point entirely if the topic is “the population of x has gone from 1% to an estimated upper of 12.5% in 20 years” and your answer is “its below 10% right now”. Not only are you potentially immediately wrong, since the number today could exceed 10%, it also doesn’t speak to how those demographics might be shaped by disparities in birthrates or continued migration. But, you know that, you’re just trying to argue for some reason.
- dijit 1y agofunny, my votes went from +4 to -1 inside of 5 minutes despite this comment being at +4 for 11 hours. Either that’s a strong coincidence or vote manipulation is rife here.
- wagwang 1y agoThe real comparison, which idk why you didnt make, is the islamic control of iberia, to which the answer is, YES! Also anglicism is like, catholicism without a pope... also it was created by the king, not imported from another continent.
