Then by 54 million the generation after that (9mil x 6).
Well that assumes birth rates will remain constant - which they probably won't (because the UK cannot support that many people, it's already overpopulated as it is).

But if the Muslim birthrate is three times that of the non-Muslim one they would be a sizable majority in around 20 years regardless of how many millions there actually are. If 1.3 million have already got Sharia courts and finance implimented imagine what 5 or 10 million could do? Change governments, start political parties and if needed, rise up as a fifth colum I suppose...happened in Kosovo already.

When you've suffered actually racism, you know, when people treat you differently just because of the level of sun your ancestors evolved in, you tend to get pissed off with Muslims and their defenders claiming racism.

Muslims are not a race by any definition of the word.

I suppose once the UK becomes a Muslim country it will be easier for British people returning from the Middle East to reintegrate...all we need now is a shopping mall on every corner and gaudy building competitions in every city centre.

I don't follow Eylesda's arithmetic....... surely only a small number of the 1.5million Muslims are women of child-bearing age, even if they DO have 6 babies each?

Or am I misinterpreting the data?

Hehe...let's hope they take the UAE model of Islam and not Saudi lol.

Also, would Brits be Sunni or Shia? Important question because it determines which other Muslims we would be allowed to kill

Call me a Daily Wail reader but I'd like an even more secular UK...with a constitution and something called a Republic - The United British Federal States or something like that.

Now...who wants to report me for treason first?

You're forgetting to be a Muslim one can either convert or be born of a Muslim father...there's not need for Muslim women to increase the Muslim population.

In any case there are a good number of young Muslims (due to higher birthrates and marriage immigration).

The arithmetic of 54 million or whatever is still ridiculous - Muslims don't need a majority to take over the UK. Few countries have been taken over by majorities - it's usually an organised and unrelenting minority (like how the Saxons took over most of the British tribes in post-Roman Britain.
