I just came across the most eye opening information. As a Christ-Follower in Western society, you must pay attention! According to this information, European culture as we know it today will vanish within our lifetime and there isn’t anything that can be done to stop it. The United States is standing on the brink, but it doesn’t look positive for us either.
Here is what I am talking about.
In order for a culture to maintain itself for more than 25 years, they must have a fertility rate of at least 2.11. That’s 2.11 children per family. Historically, no culture has ever reversed a 1.9 fertility rate. A rate of 1.3 is impossible to reverse.
Here are the fertility rates of some European nations:
- France: 1.8
- England:1.6
- Greece: 1.3
- Germany: 1.3
- Italy: 1.2
- Spain: 1.1
The European Union has a fertility rate of 1.38. That is only .08 away from being impossible to reverse.
What’s the big deal? It’s not that European culture is vanishing, it’s being replaced. The population of these countries is growing through immigration and 90% of the immigrants are Muslims.
In France, fertility rate is 1.8. However, Muslims living in France have a fertility rate of 8.1.
In 39 years, France will be an Islamic Republic.
In the Netherlands, in 15 years half of the population will be Muslim.
In 2025, 1/3 of all European children will be born to Muslim families.
Germany has already claimed that they will be a Muslim state by the year 2050.
Within a few decades, Europe as we know it will cease to exist.
“There are signs that Allah will grant victory to Islam in Europe without swords, without guns, without conquest. We don’t need terrorist, we don’t need homicide bombers. The 50+ million Muslims (in Europe) will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.”
Let’s look at our neck of the woods. Here is our fertility rates:
Canada: 1.6
United States: 1.6
With Latino Population in the United States we’re at 2.11
1970: 100,000 Muslims in the US. In 2008 there were 9,000,000. In 30 years there will be 30 million Muslims in the United States.
This is the first I’ve ever seen of this. I’m not even sure what to feel about this right now. Who knew that dozens of the greatest civilizations of the past 2000 years are about to vanish from the face of the earth. It won’t be becasue of a plague or war, but because we didn’t reproduce.
Holy cow! As intelligent as a civilization we claim to be, how stupid are we to simply disappear becasue we didn’t have enough babies? The thought of this makes me very angry… still processing. Does it make you angry too?
Seems like more of a scare tactic to me. Of course the global culture our kids inherent will be different. Our great grandparents inherented a world where the slave trade was illegal, our grandparents inhereted a country where women women had the right to vote. If we want a globally connected world, then the face of that world will look much different then what we see now.

I don’t think you’re seeing the point. You’re implying that this is the same as cultural shifts from past generations to ours. This is apples and oranges. We’ve seen cultures shift or morph, but in the last couple of hundred years, we haven’t seen cultures disappear or die out.
Look at it this way. America is a melting pot of cultures. However, we look back at the founding fathers and we call them our forefathers. It’s becasue a large segment of our nation can trace their roots back to those who were here who founded this nation. In 100-150 year, most Americans will look back at the forefathers as those people who were occupying this land previously.
I’m not saying that this is a bad thing. Many cultures throughout time have vanished. I just don’t think people realize that so many of our modern cultures are just a few generations from extinction.
I would say that the Muslim way of life will not be like that of ours. There god is not the same God that we worship and they will bring about changes in the way we do church even how our government possibly works. Look at what happened on Thursday, our White House for the first time didn’t not have a formal function for National Day of Prayer. This is hitting home really quick. Anybody else want to bring anything else to light?

The end is interesting discussing the declining fertility rates among muslims, especially those in western cultures.
You know, I don’t believe that just because babies are born to Muslim families, it doesn’t always mean that they will choose to follow Islam. Even the adults are still regular hurting people that need Jesus. You can’t just start quoting statistics based on what’s happened over the last few years. That doesn’t take God into account at all. Remember the “Jesus movement”? 1000’s of souls, I’m sure many from non-Christian families gave their lives to Christ and started a new family line of Christians. Many natural disasters bring souls to Christ as well. The church needs to see these statistics as a warning and pray for revival!!!!! God can totally turn these statistics around for His glory. Don’t forget what He can do. 🙂

Why a Muslim majority is considered negative? We are talking about home grown muslims raised and educated in democratic systems. I have muslims friends and feel comfortable about all this.
Yes this is true. Muslims have lots of babies. I am here in Iraq right now and all of the muslims I talk with have around 12 brothers and sisters. All of them are trying to immigrate to Europe where they have 12 more babies but this time their babies are citizens in their European country. Muslims that I meet here are a very tight knit group of people and they stick together. They are used to having very little so they can work for less money and take away jobs. When it comes to hiring they tend to only hire fellow muslims first and only if they have to they hire others. Most white people I talk to from England have said that muslims have pretty much already taken over the country. They control many of the jobs and are having babies like crazy. They use the government’s laws to their advantage while white people use the governments laws to fight each other. Very quickly the muslim population has taken ground in England and it won’t be long before muslims have the majority vote there. It is our culture that is causing the muslims to gain ground and eventually wipe us off the face of the earth. Their culture is better than ours and that is why they are able to stick together and take over so easily. I can see the day in the future where most of the world is muslim. In order to get a job in the future I am sure you will have to be muslim. Saudi Arabia has many high paying jobs in the Middle East where poorer countries like the Philippines go to work. Saudi Arabia and other muslim countries have a law that says you have to be muslim to work there.
why all of you guys don’t accept islam is a religion revealed by creater who made destiny of every single human being on earth and who is one creater, sustainer and knower of everything. european people should there self study quran the book which tell about reality so that before extintion they know the truth, and wake up there souls before waking up again on day of judgement. despite the lies of europe and america that muslim are terrorist and extremist, a large number of white peopel embracing islam why? because it is truth and when it comes infront of a poor or rich, educated or illetrate he or she feel something in the heart. there heart recongnice existance of 1 God and they get enter into this beautiful religion.
