ISLAM WILL BE UK NO.1 RELIGION IN NEXT 10 YEARS – ANALYSIS CONFIRMS


One in 10 people under 25 are Muslim, while Christianity is in decline, census reveals. An explosion in the Muslim population and an aging Christian demographic could mean Islam will be the dominant religion in the UK in 10 years.

A new analysis by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed that the number of Christians was falling 50 per cent faster than had previously been thought.
Furthermore, the analysis showed that the majority of Christians were over the age of 60 and for the first time less than half of young people describe themselves as Christian.
As a result the ONS has calculated that in a decade only a minority will classify themselves as Christians in England. Christianity is still the dominant religion in the UK with over 50 per cent of the population regarding themselves as believers.

However, this may be set to change as the British Muslim population has surged dramatically over the past 15 years, increasing by 75 per cent in England and Wales.
This puts the Muslim population of the UK at around 5 per cent, a total that has been boosted by around 600,000 Muslim immigrants who have arrived in the UK over the past decade.

Keith Porteous Wood, executive director of the National Secular Society, said to UK daily the Telegraph that the decline of Christianity is “inevitable.”
The change has been dubbed as a “significant cultural shift” by the British Humanist Association, while the Church of England has shrugged off the statistics, maintaining they still retain a strong base of believers.

Segregation?

The rising number of immigrants and different ethnicities in the UK has given rise to increasing levels of segregation. Think tank ‘Demos’ has labeled the phenomenon ‘white flight’, citing the falling number of ethnic whites in areas where they are minorities.
Demos’ investigation revealed that new ethnic minorities like Somalis where moving into areas where older most established ethnic populations like Afro-Caribbeans had previously been dominant.
The population of London is indicative of the change in the British demographic with 600,000 white Londoners moving out of the capital in the past decade.

Housemaids, your servants, and workers are not just workers, they are also human beings with complete feelings, emotions and crave for love as much as we do.

Muslim Woman Uses Abaya to Save Burning Man’s Life

A Muslim woman used an Islamic robe to save a burning man’s life when he caught fire in a truck crash, by using it to put out the flames. “I was rattled to see the two burning trucks and got shocked when I saw a man on fire screaming for help,” Jawaher Saif Al Kumaiti, an Emirati Muslim woman, told Khaleej Times on Sunday, October 1. “I requested my friend – who was with me in my car – to give her abaya and asked her to stay inside.” Al Kumaiti was driving home after visiting a friend in hospital when she saw two trucks burst into flames and heard the victim shouting for someone to save him. One of the drivers, Harkirit Singh, managed to escape from his burning vehicle – but not before his clothes caught fire. “I immediately rushed to the driver, put out the flames and covered him with my friend’s abaya. The 22-year-old young woman persuaded her friend who was a passenger to take off her abaya then leaped out of the car and used it to put out the flames. “I calmed him...
