Islam and demography: A waxing crescent
Keywords:
Demographic trends and Muslim populations around the world. some of the fastest growing populations are in Pakistan, India, Nigeria. Slower growth in Indonesia. In Europe faster growth in Spain and France relative to other countries. The Muslim popullation in Europe will be about 10% in places like Sweden and France in 2030. Where multiculturalism has been denounced, in Germany the Muslim population grows from 5% in 2010 to 7% in 2030, and a little over 4% to 8% in Britain. In France it goes up from close to 8% to a little over 10% in 2030. This is from research and forecasts done by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life in January 2011. It does not suggest a huge problem especially if the Muslim populations are affected by the trend to democracy in their home countries and improving standards of living, and a move towards integration in the different societies in Europe.

The immigration debate in Norway
02/21/2011
The effects of immigration on Norwegian life and society. About 550,000 immigrants entered the country from 1995- 2010. Half of these immigrants are white and from Poland and Sweden. Norway has also given asylum to the poorest immigrants from places like Eritrea. And there are immigrants from Pakistan who came in the 1970's when Norway needed immigrant labor. About 11% of 4.9 million people are immigrants, but the concentration of immigrants in certain neighborhoods creates the fear of immigration among some Norwegians. Immigrants concentrate in the poorer neighborhoods of east Oslo. Because Nordic society has never experienced this before, this multiculturalism become a serious issue.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
