The increasing influence of Islam on British culture is disclosed in research today that shows the number of Muslims worshipping at mosques in England and Wales will outstrip the numbers of Roman Catholics going to church in little more than a decade.
Projections to be published next month estimate that, if trends continue, the number of Catholic worshippers at Sunday Mass will fall to 679,000 by 2020.
By that time, statisticians predict, the number of Muslims praying in mosques on Fridays will have increased to 683,000.
The Christian Research figures also suggest that, over the same period, the number of Muslims at mosques will overtake Church of England members at Sunday services.
Church spokesmen point out, however, that a growing number of Anglicans worship at other times of the week.
The projections show that, if the Churches do not reverse their historical decline, there will be more active Muslims than Christians in Sunday services across Britain before the middle of the century.
The figures, based on Government and academic sources and the latest edition of Christian Research's Religious Trends, come amid growing tensions over the place of Muslims in British society.
They follow fierce rows over the extent to which Islamic law should be recognised and over claims that "no-go" areas for non-Muslims are emerging in parts of the country.
Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, provoked criticism by saying the introduction of some aspects of sharia into British society was "unavoidable".
The Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, faced death threats after writing in The Sunday Telegraph that Islamic extremism was turning some communities into "no-go" areas "where adherence to this ideology has become a mark of acceptability".
Peter Brierley, a former Government statistician who edited the latest Religious Trends, said that the continuing growth of the Muslim population since the 2001 census would have significant implications for society.
Islam is making more of an inroad into England everyday. And with the modern trend of less and less people going to church this is a very feasible statistic. As it has been discussed before, the inclusion of Sharia law could be somewhere close down the road if the appeasement keeps up.
I for the most part care not for the Muslims in the UK (a good deal of them are just wackos) nor for many of the Brits in the UK(becasue they are snobs). But TBH, the UK has been running the show around the world for centuries....I guess it's time the tables turned around a little bit....why not? If the Archbishop of Canterbury himself finds it acceptable....then God bless.
To put it simply...those Brits(the snobs) deserve those Muslims(the extremists)....and as the proverb goes in Lebanese "And let melons crack each other"
Plus If we can adapt our country for Hispanics because they exist in huge numbers in the US, then why can't the UK do the same for Muslims. Shock and awe?

In fact the UK already has the biggest mosque in Europe and an even bigger one is going to be built in London.
Europe's Biggest Mosque Will Be Built in London
We are going to produce a landmark, something not seen in this country before," said Mr. Khaliq, project manager for the global Islamic missionary movement Tablighi Jamaat, which plans to spend at least $190 million to build the mosque. Mr. Khaliq and his friends call it the London Markaz; neighbors in the borough of Newham dub it the "Mega Mosque."
The proposed mosque is the latest flashpoint in London's struggle to integrate a growing Islamic population amid fears among non-Muslims of Islamic terrorists. The structure would stand next to the 2012 Olympic stadium and, with room for 60,000 worshippers, be almost as big. Opponents say it would create a ghetto of Muslims in the surrounding neighborhood and change the complexion of London.
Good for them...., you know what? I hope they build a mosque big enough you could see from your bedroom.......in the states :laugh:

It really shouldn't be a surprise. Demographics is a volatile field. A few hundred years ago, North America looked a lot different than it does now. And a hundred years from now, it will look a lot different.
Yes, but you have to remember...in all of those cases, there has been a large group of people foaming at the mouth suggesting the shifting demographics were going to destroy civilization. And laugh if you want, but they were right! Civilization really HAS been destroyed, it's all an illusion created by the machines that rule the planet that leads us to believe we've weathered each and every shift in demographics without the Earth falling into the Sun.
Ya if only jpeyton realized that before relying on things such as mathematics, history, statistics and demographics......I mean come on.....couldn't he at least have come up with a courtesy Muslim conspiracy?

A very simple solution would be to prevent entry of individuals who do not wish to become part of the country/society, and deportation of those who wish to bend their hosts society/laws to their will.
If there are "no-go" areas which i take as meaning non muslims being in danger if they enter this area, then determine who is leading and actively taking part in such actions then retake the area (be it with cops or the army) and deport these low life's back to where they came from.
Even though what you are saying makes sense....however you have to keep in mind....that most Muslims in the UK are citizens not just immigrants.
But let me remind you that we have so many "no-go" areas here in the states that it's not even funny. And "no-one" will be doing squat about it anytime soon. And if you don't believe me...take a couple of trips to some notorious "gettos" and some very well known areas with a high concentration of "inbreds" and so forth you get the idea.
Do not back down if investigating something such as a "honor killing" will bring unrest among the local population, use whatever force is required to bring to justice those who committed a crime and those who hamper such efforts.
If they backdown...it would be just because they are pussies....no one can stop the UK military and Police from doing anything they think is legal in the UK, but politicians care about votes and public opinion enough to not want to bother certain groups in case of a violation. Just like every other country...
I do not propose discrimination of a group unless that group poses a threat to my country. You may preach your views for those who will listen, practice within the bounds of my societies laws what you believe in. If my societies laws prevent you from practicing what you believe then do not come here, tolerance of hatred and murder is not negotiable.
Good luck defining the "group" but usually, westerners fail at defining groups without excessive generalizations! There are so many places here in the states where you would get killed if you express the wrong idea....and many of the mare pure 100 % US citezens....what do you do with those? Deport them to the land of their ancestors?...to Europe to Asia...to Africa?
If you harbor/co-operate with those who wish to destroy my country to reform in their vision, then do not expect compassion or sympathy for actions that will harm you when these groups are targeted.
But when a group seeks the legal route to get what it wants then how does that qualify as destruction?
I will tolerate your views to a reasonable point, but i will not tolerate actions to bend my society/laws to your views and whoever tries such a thing, i'll be walking over your dead body, not you over mine.
Well....I have news for ya....laws were meant to be bent over and over until they brake....then they update them and the cycle goes on...last time I checked.....big demographic changes....usually more than often bring a sea of legal reformation....so what?
