Islam has been part of Europe’s culture for many years. From the conflicts between Arabs and the Byzantine Empire in the 7th and 8th centuries to the conquest of Russia and the Ukraine by the Golden Horde in the 14th century and then the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, Eastern Europe has included a Muslim population for many years. Equally, on the Iberian Peninsular, from the 8th century, Muslim forces exerted influence across Spain and even into France. However, it has been in the past fifty years that the numbers of Muslims in Europe have started to grow steadily. As ‘guest worker’ immigration to support growth drew in people from the former colonies of France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK, the Muslim population in the EU has risen, doubling in the past thirty years to around 20 million today. According to a 2008 Brookings study, the countries with the largest percentages of Muslims are France at an estimated 8%, the Netherlands at 6%, Germany at 4% and the United Kingdom at 3% of the population. According to Karoly Lorant, a Hungarian economist, ‘Muslims already make up 25% of the population in Marseilles and Rotterdam, 20% in Malmo, 15% in Brussels and Birmingham, and 10% in London, Paris and Copenhagen.’ Taking Europe as whole into consideration, beyond the boundaries of the EU, the German Central Institute Islam Archive calculated that the total number of Muslims in 2007 was about 53 million.Over the next decade, there will be continued change in the European populace, with the largest shift coming from the possible entry of Turkey into the EU. This alone would increase the Muslim population by around 70 million. Several commentators expect that, excluding Russia, Europe’s Muslim population will easily double by 2020 and that, by 2050, one in five Europeans will probably be Muslim.
As there is written in Quran:Allah has decreed: "It is I and My Messengers who must prevail": for Allah is Strong, Mighty.(Al-Mujádala, 21). Does not it mean the Scriptures are happening day by day? I think europian countries will try to prevent it. But how? can they do it or not? In my opinion the main challenge of preventing it for these countries is that the countries' people undertand the reality of Quran. Understand that the real culture comes from Quran, understand their values with the help of Quran, understand the truth. What will happen? We'll see if we live till that time.
Also I would like all of you to watch this video in Youtube. I think it will interest you: It is a link: ( it is in English, it will be also useful for your listening :) )
Perfect research and awesome work! Congratulations! The information and statistics are well-chosen and believable. It will definitely happen if there is not a world war again... I hope the third antichrist will not appear...
Of course, I totally agree with u. Maybe they understand the reality, they have realized the beauty of Islam. Actually, it is good for them, I apreciate those Christians))
thank u Rufat, I watched the video. in 39 years, France will be Islamic country. France, in which Muslims are killed in cold blood. I know that it isn't impossible, one day everybody will accept the reality which Quran says; everybody will accept the being of Allah.
I didn't expect that in Netherlands the percentage of Muslims is 6%.I appriciate all of this.Morever,there are a lot of christians in Muslim countries.
Yeah! It is a reality. Soon, there will be a lot of Muslims in Europe. I do not know what Christians will do. I can imply that they will not stand still.
