Muslim Majority: Near the end of this century Europe is likely to become part of the Western Arab world, according a leading scholar of Islam and the Near East. Prof. Bernhard Lewis views migration and demographics as major contributors to this development. Lewis points to several factors, such as the strong and growing presence of Turks in Germany, Arabs in France and Pakistanis in the UK. Native Europeans tended to marry late and have few children while immigrants from these countries marry at an early age and have many children. He predicts that the European population will have Muslim majorities by the end of the 21st century. (Assist News Service 8/3/04)
