20 more reverts to Islam last Sunday

Bismillah:

Here's my question... what's the population of Muslims in France? "Around 15,000 Muslims per year" are embracing Christianity? When did Islam conquer France? Last time I checked, France was virtually 99% Christian

Well, the Muslim portion of the population in France increased from one tenth of a percent to 2.7 percent between 1900 and 1970. In seventy years the Muslim portion of the population increased 27 fold. That is a growth rate of almost 5 percent a year above that of the rest of the population.


Between 1970 and 1990 the Muslim portion of the population more than doubled to 6.8 percent. That is still close to five percent a year faster than the rest of the population, virtually identical with the growth rate of the previous 70 years.


However, between 1990 and 2000 the Muslim portion of the population only increased slightly from 6.8 to 7.1 percent. In the last five years of the millennium it only increased a tenth of a percent, from 7.0 to 7.1 percent. <b>At the rate established in the last half of the nineties it would take about two and a half centuries for the Muslim portion of the French population to double and about seven centuries for the French Muslims to become a majority. </b>


Salam


Wael.
