Get To Baby-Making, Duggars! Muslims To Outnumber You In Only 55 Years!
Hold on tight, Patriotic American Christians, for a calamity approacheth! The Pew Research Center has released a study that finds, if things keep going the way they are, there will be more Muslims than Christians in the world in 2070. You will be glad to know the Drudge Report is not freaking out over this or anything, naaaaah, theyre just posting a link to the story at the very top of their page, illustrated with a picture of a concerned little white girl who might be about to cry:

But who will I play with when all the other children are brown?
They are just saying! And perhaps they are just implying that this is the most important news out there, the thing that their extremely diverse readership needs to know. THE MUSLIMS ARE COMING IN 55 YEARS!
The study itself is kind of interesting:
Over the coming four decades, Christianity will remain the worlds largest religious affiliation, but Islam will see a major increase that will make the two religions nearly equal in numbers by 2050. [ ]
If current trends continue, Muslims will outnumber Christians worldwide around 2070.
In the United States, Christians will decline from more than three-quarters (78 percent) of the population to about two-thirds (66 percent) by 2050.
Muslims, other religions and those unaffiliated with religion will see the largest increases in North America. The religiously unaffiliated are expected to rise from 16 percent to more than one-quarter of the population, 26 percent. And by 2050, the U.S. will have more Muslims (2.1 percent of the general population) than people who identify as Jewish (1.4 percent).
Set the alarms, everyone. By 2050, there will only be 33 times as many Christian US Americans as there will be Muslims. American Christians better work on getting each other PREGNANT, if theyre going to stop that 2 percent of Muslims from completely destroying everything they hold dear.

I'm hoping they all fizzle out completely, but I'll take your scenario as second-best.

As if there are no Christians with brown skins.

...is that:
a) we're right, no matter what (because of our inherent ambiguity)
b) there's no competition, except with full atheists

All big 3 abrahamic religions will be tempered by their reform and progressive sects and will have fully embraced 21st century ideals.

(2,337 posts)7. You know, I really thought DU would know better than to conflate "muslim" with "brown"
It's generally the realm of racists and right-wingers.
Islam is a religion, not a race.
