I don't know what to make of this video. It is a call for action to US Christians in the face of the rapid growth in the number of muslim americans.

I don't know if the demographic figures quoted are correct or if the conclusions based on those figures presented are correct. But an interesting scenario...

Re: "Muslim Demographics" (none / 1)

Unfortunately my browser has decided not to show me many of the videos now on the web. Can't see them here or at dKos. Dunno why.

keep to the Fen Causeway

probably flashplayer version, see if you can update or reload it.

I spent an hour today trying to find lost sound to movies playing in Quicktime. Tried everything. Uninstalled, reinstalled latest version. Nada. Tarnation!

Oh yes. It's strictly a QT pro problem. The same movie sequences play fine in VLC, DiVX etc.

Re: "Muslim Demographics" (none / 1)

Well I can only speak for Uk figures, and from a brief look, the britain has over 1000 churches, many of them former churches. From a brief look round the internet I can only find 4.

Id also argue that its cultural arguments are somewhat suspect.

I'd probably agree, but no wonder the Pope has a rubber fetish - Italy had the lowest birth rate in Europe if we can believe the figures. 8.36/1000 according to government site. 1.23 children per woman according to others - probably info clones.

Re: "Muslim Demographics" (4.00 / 2)

The CIA TFR tables in Wikipedia show lots of countries in Europe lower than Italy - Poland, Slovenia and the Czech Republic, for example, with 2008 figures showing Spain exactly the same as Italy. (The same table shows Iran, Algeria and quite a few other Muslim countries with TFR well below France, implying that a lot of the claims in the video are unreliable, to put it politely).
