A little pause... and we are back.
Historically, no culture has ever reversed a 1.9 fertility rate.
A rate of 1.3?
Impossible to reverse.
Because it would take 80 to 100 years to correct itself.
And there is no economic model that can sustain a culture during that time.
In other words, if two sets of parents each have one child, there are half as
many children as parents.
If those children have one child, then there are one-fourth as many
grandchildren as grandparents.
If only a million babies are born in 2006, it's hard to have 2 million adults enter
the workforce in 2026.
As the population shrinks, so does the culture.
As of 2007, the fertility rate in France was 1.8.
England, 1.6.
Greece, 1.3.
Germany, 1.3.
Italy, 1.2.
Spain, 1.1.
Across the entire European Union of 31 countries, the fertility is a mere 1.38.
Historical research tells us these numbers are impossible to reverse.
In a matter of years, Europe as we know it will cease to exist.
Yet the population of Europe is not declining.
Why?
Immigration.
Islamic immigration.
Of all population growth in Europe since 1990, 90% has been Islamic immigration.
France, 1.8 children per family.
Germany, Muslims, 8.1.
In southern France, traditionally one of the most populated church regions in the
world, there are now more mosques than churches.
30% of children ages 20 and younger are Islamic.
In the larger cities such as Nice, Marseille and Paris, that number has grown
to 45%.
By 2027, one in five Frenchmen will be Muslim.
In just 39 years, France will be an Islamic republic.
In the last 30 years, the Muslim population of Great Britain rose from
82,000 to 2.5 million, a 30-fold increase.
There are over 1,000 mosques, many of them former churches.
In the Netherlands, 50% of all newborns are Muslim.
And in only 15 years, half of the population of the Netherlands will be
Muslim.
In Russia, there are over 23 million Muslims.
That's one out of five Russians.
40% of the entire Russian army will be Islamic in just a few short years.
Currently in Belgium, 25% of the population and 50% of all newborns are
Muslim.
The government of Belgium has stated one-third of all European children will be
born to Muslim families by 2025, just 17 years away.
The German government, the first to talk about this publicly, recently released a
statement saying...
The fall in the German population can no longer be stopped.
Its downward spiral is no longer reversible.
It will be a Muslim state by the year 2050.
There are signs that Allah will grant victory to Islam in Europe, without
swords, without guns, without conquest.
We don't need terrorists.
We don't need homicide bombers.
The 50-plus million Muslims in Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a
few decades.
There are currently 52 million Muslims in Europe.
The German government said that number is expected to double in the next 20 years to
104 million.
Closer to home, the numbers tell a similar story.
Right now, Canada's fertility rate is 1.6, nearly a full point below what is required
to sustain a culture.
And Islam is now the fastest growing religion.
Between 2001 and 2006, Canada's population increased by 1.6 million.
1.2 of those, immigration.
In the United States, the current fertility rate of American citizens is
1.6.
With the influx of the Latino nations, the rate increases to 2.11, the bare
minimum required to sustain a culture.
In 1970, there were 100,000 Muslims in America.
Today, there are over 9 million.
The world is changing.
It's time to wake up.
Three years ago, a meeting of 24 Islamic organizations was held in Chicago.
The transcripts of that meeting showed in detail their plans to evangelize America
through journalism, politics, education, and more.
They said, we must prepare ourselves for the reality that in 30 years, there will
be 50 million Muslims living in America.
The world that we live in is not the world in which our children and grandchildren
will live.
The Catholic Church recently reported that Islam has just surpassed their membership
numbers.
Some studies show that at Islam's current rate of growth, in five to seven years,
it will be the dominant religion of the world.
As believers, we call upon you to join the effort and share the gospel message with
the changing world.
This is a call to action.
