Muslims will ‘very soon’ outnumber practising Christians in Europe, a Belgian minister claimed yesterday
Speaking
before the Parliament’s justice and home affairs committee yesterday,
Mr Koens said the EU needed to realise a shift in population was taking
place.
‘In Europe, very shortly we’re soon going to have more practising Muslims than practising Christians,’ he said.
‘That is not because there are too many Muslims, it is because Christian are generally less practising.
‘Europe does not realise this, but this is the reality.’
