The Last Crusade:

ISLAM ECLIPSES THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND

MUSLIM CONQUEST OF BRITAIN NEARS COMPLETION

by

Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.

A study by of the Centre for Migration Policy Research at Swansea University shows that thousands of Britons are converting to Islam every year – with more women becoming Muslims than men.

The research suggests that the numbers converting to the religion has doubled by 2010 from the 60,669 converts in 2001.

The average age of the Muslim converts is 27.5, with 520,0o0 Brits becoming Muslims in the past 12 months.

A detailed study by Swansea University for inter-faith think-tank Faith Matters, suggests that despite an often negative portrayal of Islam in the media, more people are adopting the religion each year.

Kevin Brice, the director of the study, says that 56% of converts to Islam were white British, with 62% being female.

Presently, according to the London Times, the Islamic population of Great Britain exceeds 2.4 million.

The Daily Mail contends that more than 25% of the British Muslims visit a mosque at least once a week.

By contrast, Paul Richardson, Assistant Bishop of Newcastle, maintains that less than 1% of the 18 million Christians who belong to the Church of England attend Sunday services. “At this rate,” the Bishop speculates, “it is hard to see the church surviving for more than 30 years though few of its leaders are prepared to face that possibility.

“If decline continues,” the Bishop adds, “Christian Research has estimated that in five years’ time church closures will accelerate from their present rate of 30 a year to 200 a year as dwindling congregations find the cost of keeping them open too great.”

While 30 Anglican parishes close every year, seventy new mosques sprout up throughout the United Kingdom.

A score of organizations have been set up to serve the needs of Christian Brits who now embrace Islam.

Edward Charles and Matthew McDonald of New Muslim Network Wales, which was established in 2001, say their work consists not only in supporting converts, but also trying to dispel myths about conversion, such as having to change one’s name or lose one’s cultural identity.

“We are able to help the new Muslim to settle into their new faith gently and help them sort out the cultural stuff from the actual faith,” Mr. Charles says. “Most of us have kept our original names and we encourage new Muslims to do the same – but ultimately it’s a personal choice.”

Midnight Rider,

The truth of the matter is, I really wouldn't care that much if it weren't for the fact that large numbers of Muslims around the world, perhaps even a majority have no respect for human rights, hate anyone who doesn't blindly accept their faith and dream of replacing secular governments with Islamic theocracy, and fact that their religion calls for such things.

"MUSLIM CONQUEST OF BRITAIN NEARS COMPLETION"

I don't think so. Just another sensationalist headline. As for 500,000 plus converts in a year there are too many noughts.

The true figure is around 5,000 - and those mainly by marriage of stupid women to muslims.

Ray Boyd,

I hope you're right about this being another sensationalist headline.

Do you have a source for what the real figures are?

Damian,

Of course it's a sensationalist headline. How are 2-3m Muslims nearing the completion of conquering a Britain of 60 million non Muslims.

It's a Weazel Zippers type bullshit headline. As for the source I read it when this first hit the headlines about a week ago. The true figure for white women converting to Islam is near 5,000 NOT 500,000. Maybe 495,000 others convert - but I doubt it.

As for the source, I don't remember, but it is fresh enough for me to remember the 5,000.

Some Americans like to think that Britain is done for, indeed they revel in the thought but think on - the US has other Muslim issues where it is being dictated to by Muslims in all areas.

Ray Boyd,

You can rest assured that I'm not one of those Americans. I do not want Brition or any other western or free nation to fall.

You live in Brition, so you probably know more about this than I do, and I'm glad you're not worried.

Ray, if you can remember or find the source again, please post it or send it to me and I'll be happy to as well.

As I said too many noughts, an error I expect. 520,000 in one year is not possible at this time; only when they are in power and say convert or die.

The exact figure is 5,200 per year, that's why I said too many noughts
