Islam in America

According to a study released today, by 2030, Muslims will account for more than a quarter of the earth's population, USA-Today reported.

The number of Muslims in the United States will more than double, so you are likely to know many Muslims in 20 years, just as you know some Jews today.

"We are not surprised. Our mosques and schools can be seen everywhere, "said a mosque director at Falls Church in Virginia.

The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life analyzed the data collected by the United Nations through more than 200 national censuses and the research materials of 50 international demographers.

If the immigration pattern remains unchanged and the birth rate of Muslims continues to increase, Pew thinks:

? In 20 10, the proportion of American Muslims will increase from 2.6 million, which is less than 1%, to 6.2 million, which is 1.7%.

? The proportion of Muslim immigrants to the United States to become permanent legal residents will continue to rise. Most immigrants come from South Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

? Although today, 64.5% of American Muslims were born abroad, this proportion will drop to 55% because the number of native Muslims is increasing.

? Worldwide, the Muslim population will rise, from 20 10 to 23.4% of the total population, that is,1600 million, to 26.4% of the total population, that is, 2.2 billion in 2030.

At present, about 3% of the global Muslim population lives in the most developed areas in the world.

In the north and east of some European countries, the proportion of Muslims is close to 10% of the total population, especially in urban areas, which improves their political and cultural influence.

Allen, Deputy Director of Pew Research Forum? Kuberman said that the Muslim population growth rate is "increasing, but slowing down", and their political and economic uncertainties may change dramatically.

"This study is not about Muslim religion or their politics," Kubman said. People will say, I don't care how many Muslims there are, I care how many radical Muslim terrorists there are. However, no one knows these figures. "

Ibrahim, spokesman of the American Islamic Relations Committee? Hooper said: "We Muslims need to increase contact with the mainstream, because more and more people are skeptical about us."
