This is Worrying

[Keith]

Not for me but for my children and their children. I see this as a Bible Belt (of USA) sponsored "horror flick" designed to fuel the flames of Jihad within the 'Christian' community and therefore I am sceptical to a degree.

I have no idea if the statistics or the science is true but the message is plain.

No offence is intended against any religion creed or colour.. but I'd like people's opinion on whether it's either, got any element of truth in it, is another famous US "conspiracy theory" or pure race hate claptrap.

I just need to know before the price for prayer mats goes way up. :blank:

Keith, according to snopes it is mostly untrue. snopes.com: Muslim Demographics

Damn! You're right Pete, I should have checked with Snopes first. It just goes to show that this stuff can be very insiduous because it possibly taps into your deepest fears...

Not because of the rise and rise of Islam but because I might have to purchase a prayer mat and I'm not sure where East is because the rising sun is mainly obscured by seagulls..

Thanks...

Somewhat attached to this "idea" is the political mantra for anybody running for office that claims we must or will have economic growth. What I want to hear the basis for assuming we will always have "economic growth". Does growth happen indefinitely? If not, why? I look at the current and future basis for our economy and can't help but think that the basis for past growth (new markets, increased population, cheap energy) are all but disappearing. IMHO, the entropy of economics is no less real than any other physical law. Then you add demographic changes and the whole applecart is upset and we start stacking apples as best we can.

Well put Ox!

Well, the fertility rate in my household is 4.0 and still rising, and we're all law abiding Christians. It all starts in the home.
