	RealClearPolitics - Commentary - Europe, Islam, and Demographics by Matthew Stubbs
		Last week, columnist Mark Steyn wrote a dire-sounding piece in the Wall Street Journal expressing a fear that declining Western fertility, combined with rapid Muslim growth, will eventually lead to a radical Islamic takeover of the West (especially Europe) and the decline of our modern liberal society.
		These aren't coming from the developed world, which is already predominantly Christian, but from places like China, India, and especially Africa, where over 6 million Muslims convert to Christianity each year.
		Muslims will not overwhelm the world demographically; if anything, the world will grow less Muslim in the forseeable future.

	rfmcdpei: [BLOG-LIKE POSTING] France, its Muslims, and the Future
		Since the French Muslim community is ultimately of immigrant origins, and since it’s quite possible for a population to continue to grow based purely on immigration (Singapore may be the first society to experience this pattern of demographic growth), we’ll start by examining the first component.
		Taking demographic trends and projecting them indefinitely into the future can be an entertaining past time.
		As the history of demographic studies has demonstrated time and time again, however, the results aren’t particularly useful as anything but historical articles.
