Atheism is unstoppable.

Why do you think that is? I feel that Islam is less flexible that Christianity, so is resistant to dilution and probably retains better. But is the growth due to immigration? I find it hard to believe it is actually drawing a significant number of people in from the outside.

Not migration, more a combination of isolationism within society mixed with higher birth rates which serves to propagate the population. In addition I feel that Islam as an entity is more than just a belief, it’s a way of life trust informs everything from political decision making to social norms. At least in a way that Christianity used to but no longer does. What you say is, in my view, correct; there is little flexibility in most Islamic dogmas, though naturally depends on what Islam you follow. I remember a figure from a while back which indicated that a lot of new mosques here tend to be deobandi which is of concern.

Probably more nuanced than that but as a high level overview I don’t think it falls wide if the mark. I wouldn’t necessarily exclude migration as a contributing factor but I don’t know what the figures are so can’t say either way.

I see, thanks. Yeah, I was wondering about birth rates, like that quiverfull horse shit in the US. With our Islam, would you say this is intended (on the whole) to flood the religious numbers, or for other reasons?
