Default A child in Birmingham is now more likely to be a Muslim than Christian!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...Christian.html

- Statistics from 2011 Census show more Muslim children than Christian growing up in Birmingham

- Of 278,623 youngsters, 97,099 were registered as Muslim compared with 93,828 as Christian

- A similar trend has emerged in the cities of Bradford and Leicester

- Experts said more must be done to ensure that society does not become polarised along religious lines

I usually avoid this type of thread as I can't be bothered arguing the toss with some peoples ideals.

Not really, but I don't see the point in the statistics either. Is it inferring that we now have 97,099 muslamics willing to engage in Jihad against everyone else. And what number of Jedi children (younglings IIRC) will there be to save us?

So, is it inferring that it would be better to have more children born into Christianity instead? Hypothetically, if that was the case, would they have bothered to create that report?

I can neither dispute nor verify them.
My point is statistics don't always reflect the changes within a demographic.

See, evil will plan however Allah is the best of planners. I made an attempt to taunt you and Allah has turned the taunt around to mean you are beautiful. It seems Allah has showered his blessings upon you. Jesus will await you in heaven my brother from different coloured mother.

Ps - yep, don't like Arabs

Default A child in Birmingham is now more likely to be a Muslim than Christian!

Is this in the part of Birmingham that's a no-go area, or just the town generally?



PS
Mods, can we expect a prophet M. smiley icon to be added to the list soon? I think it would make a great addition to what's currently available

Has anyone mentioned that Muhammad in the most common baby name for a boy in England now? I believe it has many different ways to spell it so no one spelling comes out on top but I tell you, there taking over the world.

I'm currently building myself a underground bunker guarded by bacon hung from sticks, can never be to careful.

Jesus Shaid, you really are loosing the plot nowadays, you knew when you created this thread which direction it would take, but still felt the need to create it anyway.

You really need to get that bag of chips off your shoulder and sort your **** out fella.
