Muslims 'to outnumber traditional churchgoers'

[IbnAbdulHakim]

Looks fine to me.

679,000 catholics regularly going to church
683,000 regularly going to mosque

60,776,238 British population, which means
59,414,238 don't bother

In essence both are essentially minor fringe groups in society. I hope their influence among policymakers will reflect that.

yeah when i saw the regularly mosque goer's numbers i was saddened thinking "is that it?" ...

i honestly thought it would reach at least a million. this is just sad, i wonder how many muslims there are in total amongst the british population


may Allah guide us all

^ Ameen...

I would've thought brothers would go even if sisters dont...coz they have house and kids responsibilities etc. (not that I'm saying they shouldn't go, but its harder for them)

According to the 2001 census 1,536,015 Muslims are living in England and Wales[9], where they form 3% of the population, in Scotland they represent 0.84% of the population (42,557)[10]. The Northern Ireland census indicated 1,943 Muslims[11].

The decline is because many parents don't follow Christianity as they once did. So because of this, they can't teach/convince their children to go to Church or read/follow the teachings of the Bible.

2) Yup the church is oppressive and homophobic. Multiculturalism is the best hope for mankind to be united. Religion needs taking out of the picture before people can be at peace.

Amsterdam is good example. In 70's and 80's it used to be most gay friendly city in whole Europe. But lately things changed. Gays holding by hands or going out from gay clubs are being atatcked by young moroccan Dutches or turkish Dutches. Things that never happen in catholic "homophobic" Wilno,Warsaw,Budapest or Zagreb. This multiculturalism will first eat those who worked so hard to establish this neo-marxist system.

If you notice, these are people who've emigrated from 'Muslim' countries. (or the parents have) and as Homosexuality is frowned upon in Islam. This reaction is to be expected. (Though I do not agree with it)

Neither does Islam, I should add.

from the above it sounds as though only one third of the muslims are attending the masjid on fridays.

i know its opposite, but its strange that it reminds me that one third will leave imam mahdi to fight alone... (ie turn back) and one third will be swallowed right?


correct me if im wrong

Yeah, what you said rings a few bells.

But that's masjid on Fridays. What about Fajr and 'Isha prayers? In the vast majority of cases, at least Fajr would be outside of people's work hours, wouldn't it?

 

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ yeah unless they have late hours, but honestly masjids are so widespread i mean i have two next to my work place so i try going every zuhr. (cant make asr)

but in my masjid its normally packed out during zuhr Alhamdulillah
