When Will Muslims Outnumber Christians?
Assuming the death rate of Christians slows down from this weekend's horrific attacks, Pew Reasearch notes that Muslims will outnumber the world's Christians by 2070...
As of 2010, Christianity was by far the world’s largest religion, with an estimated 2.2 billion adherents, nearly a third (31%) of all 6.9 billion people on Earth. Islam was second, with 1.6 billion adherents, or 23% of the global population.
But, if current demographic trends continue... Islam will nearly catch up by the middle of the 21st century.
Between 2010 and 2050, the world’s total population is expected to rise to 9.3 billion, a 35% increase.
Over that same period, Muslims – a comparatively youthful population with high fertility rates – are projected to increase by 73%. The number of Christians also is projected to rise, but more slowly, at about the same rate (35%) as the global population overall.
As a result, according to the Pew Research projections, by 2050 there will be near parity between Muslims (2.8 billion, or 30% of the population) and Christians (2.9 billion, or 31%), possibly for the first time in history.

Good ?. Who owns ZH now? Seems to be many many MSM prop o'ganda pieces recently.
I think Kenya School Massacre refutes your point about a bogey man. Before that Paris. Before that Boston. Before that Beslan. Before that London....etc., etc., etc.
The threat of Radical Islamd is real. What is the problem is that the politically correct, and power-corrupted politicians will not take a stand to protect their countries as they should.
(What is Ironic is that if you were to try to get Citizenship in anyone of the Middle East countries they would laugh until they were bleu in the face. Middle Eastern countries have immigration rules that make the US look easy. In fact, they use the term "infiltrator" to describe illegal aliens...a term which does not exist in the Middle East.
As for depleted uranium...that is bad shit. It is bascially a tactical nuclear weapon if you think about it.
"Muslims – a comparatively youthful population with high fertility rates" - I think you mean reproduction rates.
Either nationalism or religion will set humanity back (again).
There isnot guarentee that power balance will stay same. When we look at the history, balance always changed and it will happen again. I dont know if muslims number grow or decline but i think quality is more important than quantitative. But i always think that what west and current power holders are doing that keep us away from Islam. I mean they spread all the hatred and fear among us so we can simply denie them and keep them away. If you cannot win against them you dicredit them. Stereotypes are means to keep hatred between us. Whites are racist, blacks are always victim, Germans are Nazi, Jews are need protection and cannot badmouthed
The article does not include the death rate among muslims, and does not consider the rate of converts. Look at africa, there's an estimated 6 million converts to christianity each year. In Russia over two million people accepted christianity after leaving islam.
Islam is gone by 2070..
How many Christian churches do you know that have super giant oilfields under them with control through a theocracy?
Islam will only grow in power as the West becomes weaker, poorer, more immoral, and continues to sacrafice its children on the altar of abortion and selfishness.
In fact, there is already an increasing interest in Islamic Finance which some believes provides for a more socially acceptable form of finance than the Western banking model.
"The Prophet (PBUH) cursed the receiver and the payer of interest from the one who records it and the witnesses to the transaction and said: 'They are all alike in guilt"
"O believers, take not doubled and redoubled Riba, and fear Allah so that you may prosper. Fear the fire which has been prepared for those who reject faith adn obey Allah and the Prophet so that you may get Mercy" Surah Al E Imran, verse 130.
Note: Riba means interest.
Yeah but what will their collective IQ be?
The basic assumption is that everything will stay the same for the next 60 years. I doubt that. Poverty increases the birth rate. Wealth decreases it. Plagues and diseases affect the poor more than the weathy. Wars harm the poor. There are just way too many variables.
