"In 30 years, there will be 50 millions Muslims in America". 50 Million? Not a single mention about other nationalities? They are ignoring other countries, and that video sounds like arrogance to me. And talk about bias, what about China and India (No, very high majority are not Muslims)?
Here, taken from wikipedia and U.S. Census Bereau:
Earth: 6,692,030,277
"All Muslims in the World": 1.3 to 1.5 billion people
"Christians (In all forms)": 2-3 billion people.
China, excluding Chinese immigrants abroad: 1,338,612,968 (Especially under One-Child Policy)
India: 1,198,003,000
Europe: 731,000,000
United States is basically the
land of immigrants, and from statistics at wikipedia:
Native Americans: 2.5 million
Chinese Americans: 1,930,202 – 3,538,407 (1,338,612,968 at home China)
Filipino Americans: 3.1 million - 4 million (91,983,000 at home Philippines)
French Americans: 11,800,000 (65,073,482 at home France)
Italian Americans: 17,829,184 (60,231,214 at home Italy)
English Americans: 27,516,394 (51,446,000 at home England)
Mexican Americans: 30,738,559 (111,211,789 at home Mexico)
Irish Americans: 36,278,332 (6,197,100 at home Ireland)
British Americans: 36,564,465 (61,500,000 at home UK, mostly English)
African Americans: 37,586,050 (1,000,010,000 at home continent Africa, despite some Muslim countries)
Hispanic/Latino Americans: 46,891,456 [Including Mexicans] (569 million at home Latin America)
German Americans: 50,271,790 (82,329,758 at home Germany)
Total "White" Americans: 228,182,410
Today's Muslim Americans: 2.5 million to 7 million.
Today's Muslim Europeans: 53 million, but only 16 million in the European Union.
7 Million to 50 Million in thirty years? What about the 50.2 million Germans today? Is that number going to decrease or increase in the next thirty years?
Not to mention abroad, I mean really, there are Asians, Hispanics, and Africans at Canada and Europe too, you know. And at this day of age, people are slowly moving to atheism...
Also according to this:
http://www.census.gov/population/www/pop-profile/natproj.htmlAbout the United States...
The fastest growing race groups will continue to be the Asian and Pacific Islander population with annual growth rates that may exceed 4 percent during the 1990's. By the turn of the century, the Asian and Pacific Islander population would expand to over 12 million, double its current size by 2010, triple by 2020, and increase to more than 5 times its current size, to 41 million by 2050.
According to the middle series, the Hispanic-origin population would be the largest growing group.
You've got to be bullshitting me if Islam would take over America though immigration, because not only the video exaggerates (I mean honestly, US, Canada, and Europe simultaneously?) but also is nothing compared to Hispanics, Asians, and Pacific Islanders.
I'm not sure about Europe being taken over, but I heavily doubt Muslims would populate the most in Canada and the United States. I live in San Francisco, and I hear that "Asians will take over San Francisco", or "Canada", or how "Mexicans will take over California". I never heard that "Muslims will take over
America". Honestly, they are exaggerating on taking over "America", especially that Asians (I'm one of the Asians) and Mexicans is more true and is actually happening in the Western and Southern States. And I doubt that Islam would stand a chance against them.
What logic is behind that video? What, if it tries to make sense, each Muslim would have dual/multiple citizenship if contribute to Europe, US, and Canada to make the total? So dual nationality to keep count? And Germany and Austria doesn't accept dual citizenship.
EDIT: From
http://www.census.govThe race and Hispanic-origin2 distribution of the U.S. population is projected to become more diverse. As the Black; Asian and Pacific Islander; American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut; and Hispanic-origin populations increase their proportions of the total population, the non-Hispanic White population proportion would decrease. By the turn of the century, the non-Hispanic White proportion of the population is projected to decrease to less than 72 percent with about 13 percent Black; 11 percent Hispanic origin; 4 percent Asian and Pacific Islander; and less than 1 percent American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut. By 2050, the proportional shares shift quite dramatically. Less than 53 percent would be non-Hispanic White; 16 percent would be Black; 23 percent would be Hispanic origin; 10 percent would be Asian and Pacific Islander; and about 1 percent would be American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut.
EDIT2: Before anyone mentions something, I know Muslim is a religion. But the high majority of immigrants are Christians/Catholic/etc., not Muslims. The Anti-Muslim/Islam thought in the States (Mostly the ones that are densely populated by White Americans) is ridiculous, despite that many Muslims do not affiliate themselves to those responsible of the 9/11 attacks. In the US, even at certain areas where they accept Muslims, it doesn't mean they will be converted to Muslim. Atheist, while not much, is rising Europe will decrease the belief in God, spirit or life force. 1/3 of France, 3/10 of Czech Republic, 1/4 of Germans, 1/5 of British do no believe in god, spirit, or life force according to Eurobarometer at 2005. Yes, while beliefs will soon decline and Muslims immigrates to rise the Muslim population in Europe, there would probably be debates on that. Like during the 1800s, Darwin vs the Church, and today in America, Evolution vs Creationism. I'm predicting that a spark of Islam vs Evolution debates may rise, and is already happening today, despite Muslims can accept Evolution just as a Christian or Catholic can, "may" show a decline in Muslim belief in Europe during the future in thirty years.
