"WASHINGTON, DC: At current immigration rates, the Muslim population in the United States will double over the next 15 years, hitting about 6.2 million in 2030, a Pew Research study recently found.Fifteen years from now, Pew found, the United States is projected to “have a larger number of Muslims than any European country” except for France and Russia.Certain factions within the government are not enthused about the immigration figures and cite security concerns as their primary source of apprehension. According to an editorial in Investor’s Business Daily, top U.S. counterterrorism officials say terrorists could slip into the country from Iraq and Syria, in spite of promised screening procedures for such refugees.“It’s clearly a population of concern,” National Counterterrorism Center Director Nicholas Rasmussen testified earlier this week."

[B]"The editorial also cites President Barack Obama’s administration for welcoming almost 300,000 new immigrants from Muslim nations — more immigrants than the U.S. let in from Central America and Mexico combined over the same period.Of the 300,000 Muslims allowed into the U.S. by the incumbent administration, 41,094 were Iraqi nationals fleeing homes ravaged by the horrors of war.With Syrian civilians facing similarly dire straits, their presence in the United States is also expected to increase. The State Department has said it will quadruple the number of refugees brought in from Syria, with as many as 2,000 nationals arriving by the end of fiscal 2015.As it currently stands, the number of displaced people within the borders war-torn Syria and Iraq is estimated to exceed 3 million refugees, the most in Middle Eastern history."[/B]

Muslim immigration rates increase in the United States - The American Bazaar

"One in two Danish citizens favor a cap on the number of Muslims permitted to live in Denmark, a YouGov poll indicates. The poll, which was conducted for the Danish publication Metroxpress, specifically targeted immigration from non-Western countries and also found one in four Danes do not want the country’s population to be more than 5 percent Muslim."

"The change has been especially dramatic in Sweden, which for decades has been known for its openness and tolerance.

Thousands of refugees from Iraq and Syria have settled there recently. Many of them are Muslim — and the ethnic tension is palpable.

"We can't take care of all the people in the whole world who have needs in their lives," says security guard Filip Wennerlund.

Wennerlund didn't mind Christian immigrants, but he believes it's not working with the Muslims, even though Sweden has had a Muslim population for decades.

"Often they don't want to come here and change," he says. "They want to change us. And we don't want to be changed. So that's a conflict."

[B]"Do you worry about Britain’s growing Muslim population? You’re not alone.
According to the British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey, in 2003, 48 per cent of Britons worried that an increase in the Muslim population would weaken Britain’s national identity. By 2013, that had risen to 62 per cent.
A report from the Muslim Council of Britain this week may sharpen those concerns. Based on Census data, it set out how immigration and a high birth-rate have combined to swell Britain’s population to 2.7 million, around a third of them aged under 15.

• Almost every political conversation about British Muslims touches on “integration,” the extent to which they and their socially conservative values fit into an increasingly liberal society. Many people fret about Muslims failing to integrate, leading separate lives in their own insular communities.[/B]
