Marrakech – The conversion rate of people accepting Islam in Europe has increased by a staggering 400% since the beginning of Israel’s assault on Gaza, according to Globe Eye News.
Numerous videos have circulated on social media platforms since the start of the offensive, featuring Westerners expressing their interest in reading the Quran to understand the secret behind the resilience of the Palestinian people.
Projections indicate that by the middle of this century, Muslims will constitute one-fifth of the European Union’s population.
These predictions are reinforced by a study conducted by the Pew Research Center, which forecasts that by 2050, the proportion of Muslims will reach 20% in Germany, 18% in France, and 17% in Britain.
Researchers Pierre Rostan and Alexandra Rostan, in their 2019 study titled “When will European Muslim populations be a majority and in which country?” suggest that according to the most likely scenario, Muslims will become the majority in Sweden, France, and Greece in about 100 years.
In Belgium and Bulgaria, this is expected to occur after approximately 115 years, while the change is expected to take around 150 years in Italy, Luxembourg, and Britain.
Hans-Georg Maaßen, former head of Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, echoed these projections in an interview with Austria’s Express newspaper.
Maaßen stated that by 2200, the majority of Europe’s population will be Muslim, warning of an invasion by a different culture that will gradually destroy European culture.
France is estimated to have the highest proportion of Muslims among major European countries.
According to a June 2023 study by the French Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies, 10% of French people declare themselves as Muslim, while other estimates suggest the figure could be as high as 15%.
