Why Fears Of A Muslim Takeover Are All Wrong

To listen to Europe's far right, it would be easy to conclude that the continent is poised for another round of bitter conflict with a centuries-old adversary.

Just looking at immigration through marriage, if half of all Muslims marry someone and bring them to the UK, how long will it take for the Muslim population to double? [Harry’s Place] Read more
