Religion


A Roman Catholic cardinal sparked a firestorm by showing a YouTube video forecasting the growth of Islam in Europe.  The video, titled “Muslim Demographics,” was a very popular discussion topic at the Vatican, after it was shown during a free discussion period.  The video made erroneous claims, as exemplified by this quote: “In just 39 years France will be an Islamic republic.”  Some facts included in the film have already been disproven.  The video claimed French Muslim women give birth to an average of 8.1 children during a lifetime, France does not collect data based on religion, the facts are baseless.  In conclusion, I believe this video could have been valid with the correct facts.
