The Sunset of Christianity
In 1900 Muslims constituted 32 percent of Africa's population; in 1950 they had increased to 37.3 percent [Ecumenical Review, The, July, 2001], and by 2005 they passed the 50% mark.
Normally one would ask, "Who cares what percentage of Africans are Muslim, since Africa appears to present little danger to Western Civilization?" However, consider this: Ethiopia had five million people in 1900; now it has 64 million, and it's projected to have 145 million by 2050 [BBC]. The largest religion in Ethiopia? Islam.
So what we have is an increasing percentage of an increasing population increasingly becoming Muslim. Africa now has the highest birthrate in the world at 5.1 babies per baby-factory. All western European fertility rates are below 2.0, the replacement rate [Royal Geographical Society]. However, hidden inside this dismal statistic is the fact that Muslims within Europe have a birthrate twice that of Christians. So while Christian Europe is declining, Muslim Europe is increasing.
