A fifth of European Union will be Muslim by 2050
LAHORE: One in five people of the European Union will be Muslims by 2050 whereas Britain, Spain and Holland will have an even higher proportion of Muslims in a shorter amount of time, an investigation by The Telegraph shows.

Last year, five percent of the total population of the 27 EU countries were Muslim. But rising levels of immigration from Islamic countries and low birth rates among Europe’s indigenous population means that, by 2050, the figure will be 20 percent, according to forecasts. Data gathered from various sources indicated that Britain, Spain and Holland would have an even higher proportion of Muslims in a shorter amount of time.

The UK, which currently has 20 million fewer people than Germany, was also projected to be the EU’s most populous country by 2060, with 77 million people. The findings have led to allegations that policy-makers are failing to confront the widespread challenges of the “demographic time bomb”.

Experts say that there has been a lack of debate on how the population changes will affect areas of life from education and housing to foreign policy and pensions.

Although some polls have pointed to a lack of radicalisation in the Muslim community, little attention is being given to the integration of migrants, it is claimed, with fears of social unrest in years to come. daily times monitor
