After posting about the Opinion Journal piece, I was curious to learn what kind of demographic statistics could be found on the Muslim population.  It occured to me that a part of the world-wide explosion of Islamofacism could have some root in these stats;

"Although the Muslim birth rate today is the world’s second highest (after sub-Saharan Africa), it is falling faster than the birth rate of any other culture. By 2050, according to the latest UN projections, the population growth rate of the Muslim world will converge on that of the United States (although it will be much higher than Europe's or China's). 

Falling fertility measures the growing influence of modernity upon the Muslim world. Literacy rates, especially female literacy, best explain the difference between the very high fertility rates of pre-modern society and the moderate fertility rates of industrial countries, as I showed in a recent study (Death by secularism: The statistical evidence, August 1, 2005).

While I found it slightly heartening that Muslim population was not growing at a hugely higher rate than in the Western world, I think the real reason for the push to Islamocize the world may have to do more with these stats;

"Just as the Muslim population peaks, the one bounty that nature has bestowed upon the Arabs, namely oil, will begin to diminish. According to the US Department of Energy, conventional oil production will peak just before 2050 at the present 2% rate of production growth. 

In short, the Muslim world half a century from now can expect the short end of the stick from the modern world. It has generated only two great surpluses, namely people and oil. By the middle of the century both of these will have begun to dwindle. But at the moment it has 25 million idle young men. No leader can remain in power who does not give them a destination to march to."

By no means does that imply that all of these 25 million will become suicide bombers, but a great many of them are likely to emigrate to Europe, including Eastern Europe, where populations are stagnant and about to decline. A Muslim takeover of Western Europe surely is a possible outcome.

If you listen to many in EU, this is already happening.  Muslim's in the UK are already demanding Shari'ia Law, and Muslims youths burn cars in Paris, while women are raped in Norway because they are not wearing Muslim garb!  In America, Dearborn, Michigan has the largest concentration of Pakistani and other ME Muslims anywhere outside of ME!  They take to the streets and march FOR our enemies!
