"Islam our religion today, your religion tomorrow"
slogan used by muslims protesting in Europe 1989
i was reading somewhere that most of the demographic increase in muslim societies was due not to more births, but longer lives. in other words, it is not so much the birth rate increasing as the death rate decreasing at the other end. (not so much the effect of declining infant mortality) - so there is reason to believe the muslim population increase will start to slow soon as the population ages.

Conversion, i understand is insignificant as a source of new recruits. European increase is through immigration, global muslim increase is through aging.
