/PanARMENIAN.Net/ By 2050, each 5th inhabitant of Europe will be a
Muslim, experts of US Migration Policy Institute find.
Muslim population in European states currently makes up 5%. By
2050, that number will increase to 20%, with Great Britain, Spain
and Netherlands having more than 20% of Muslims residing in their
countries.
Such predictions are accounted for by low birth rate among the native
in EU member states vs. the high birth rate in the families of Muslim
emigrants Besides, according to recent estimations, around 2 million
people annually arrive in EU member states for obtaining right to
permanent residence, with most of them being from Muslim countries.
The new problem is characterized by specialists as "demographic time
bomb," The Daily Mail British newspaper reports.
