A Fifth of European Union Will Be Muslim by 2050 -Adrian Michaels
Last year, 5% of the total population of the 27 EU countries was Muslim. But rising levels of immigration from Muslim countries and low birth rates among Europe's indigenous population mean that, by 2050, the figure will be 20%, according to forecasts.
Data indicate that Britain, Spain and Holland will have an even higher proportion of Muslims in a shorter amount of time.
The findings have led to allegations that policy-makers are failing to confront the widespread challenges of the "demographic time bomb". Although some polls have pointed to a lack of radicalisation in the Muslim community, little attention is being given to the integration of migrants, with fears of social unrest in years to come.

Europe or Eurabia? -Daniel Pipes
The future of Europe is in play. Will it turn into "Eurabia," a part of the Muslim world? Will it remain the distinct cultural unit it has been over the last
millennium? Or might there be some creative synthesis of the two civilizations?
The answer has vast importance.
I foresee potentially one of three paths for Europe: Muslims dominating, Muslims rejected, or harmonious integration...
Amsterdam and Rotterdam are expected, [by] 2015, to be the first large majority-Muslim [European] cities. Russia could become a Muslim-majority country in 2050.
Surveys indicate that about 5 percent of British Muslims endorse the 7/7 transport bombings. [A] reassertion [of] European [identity] will likely lead to on-going civil strife, perhaps a more lethal version of the fall 2005 [Muslim] riots in France.
