Thread Name: BS: Media's Role In Helping to End Racism
Subject: RE: BS: Media's Role In Helping to End Racism
I regret I can't share the degree of optimism about the role of the media and especially you tube, which has the potential to be one of the most scary innovations!


A recent YouTube 'hit' has made startling predictions about the Islamification of Europe over the next few decades and has been viewed more than 10 million times!

The seven-and-a-half minute video "Muslim Demographics" uses slick graphics, punctuated with dramatic music, to make some surprising claims, asserting that much of Europe will be majority Muslim in just a few decades.

It says that in the past two decades, 90% of all population growth in Europe has been Muslim immigration.

In France, it says 30% of those aged 20 and younger are Muslim, with the birth rate for Muslim families massively exceeding that across all families. It says France will be an Islamic Republic within 39 years.

In the UK it says the Muslim population has risen 30-fold since the beginning of the 1980s

The claims made about individual countries that are most striking. The video says that a typical French family has 1.8 children but that French Muslim families have 8.1 children.
But, no source is given for this information and the French government doesn't collect statistics by religion.
So it is impossible to say what the precise fertility rates among different religious groups in France are.

In fact, no country on earth has such a high fertility rate and in Algeria and Morocco, the two nations which send the largest numbers of Muslim immigrants to France, the fertility rate is 2.38,according to the UN's 2008 figures.

These and many more apparently 'indisputable statistics' and inaccurate if not ficticious, government statements are sent around the world courtesy of you tube

These lies have been viewed 10 MILLION TIMES!

One UK radio programme which looks at maths and statistics has attempted to debunk this influential video and challenge the infamous demographics it portrays

Disproving the Muslim Demographics sums but the uneasy thought remains - how many people will view this..........
