Muslims to be majority in Europe within two generations – study

Within 40 years, given current demographic trends, the white population in France and the rest of old Europe will recede, creating a Muslim majority, a French researcher says.

Charles Gave, an economist, fund manager and political commentator, writes of the “disappearance of the European populations” as native populations shrink and Muslims continue to exhibit a robust fertility rate.

The paper, titled “The White Plague,” is dangerous, Mr. Gave said, “for my personal respectability and my chance to be heard in our beautiful democracy.”

The financier draws his conclusion from demographics. He assesses France’s white, or native, birthrate at 1.4 children per woman, compared with a Muslim rate of 3.4 to 4 children. 

France’s population today is 67 million. Some researchers, including Mr. Gave, believe the French population is already 10 percent Muslim, with 6.7 million people.

Mr. Gave extrapolates those numbers, a declining white population and a growing Muslim population, and concludes that France will have a Muslim majority by 2057.
