11 Areas where ISLAM IS FAILING, in the UK especially (by Chris at Speaker's Corner)

A few weeks ago Chris, who is from Speaker's Corner, and has a YouTube channel by that name (see above) joined Jay on Pfanderfilms to talk about a new study he put together, using research from a number of European studies on the status of Islam in Europe, and in the UK in particular (where Chris himself lives).

He had given a similar talk earlier at the NAPC conference in London, in June, so this was a follow-up with newer statistics and material to show how dire the health of Islam is in the West, and especially in the UK.

He pointed to 11 areas where Islam is collapsing, including:

1) Statistical Fallacy: These statistics on growth are not really true. Though Muslims claim that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, Chris pointed out that most of that growth was due to biological growth, that Muslim women have more children than all other religions, and once you are born a Muslim, you remain a Muslim, on pain of death (due to the apostasy law).

Another reason for the growth in the West is due to the immense Muslim immigration to the West, since Muslims are the largest group of refugees to Europe, due to the many wars taking place in their own countries.

2) 'Avalanche of Apostasy': Chris then noted, that despite the law of apostasy Islam is currently the fastest "Abandoned" religion in the world. According to research carried out by Imam Luqman Ahmad 7 of out every 10 converts to Islam revert or leave Islam within 3 years.

According to further research by Omar Shahid of the 100,000 converts to Islam which were tabulated between 2001 - 2011 in the UK, 70,000 have now left Islam for a variety of reasons, but mostly due to a disillusionment with the Muslims they found there, and the irrelevancy of the Islamic practices themselves. Sharif referred to this trend as an "Avalanche of Apostasy".

3) Convert Hierarchy: Dr William Barylo of the University of Warwick, while interviewing Saleh Whelbourne, noted that there was a strong pecking order within the Muslim convert community, with white converts treated better than African background converts, or others of color.

In his book "The Big Step" Mahdi Lock, a convert himself stated that due to the difficulty of so many new converts Muslims should spend their time with "Strong, white and able 'celebrity' converts", suggesting that they simply list the names of the others, proving the real problem of racism within Islam.

4) Population Decline: Chris pointed to a number of graphs which showed a sharp decline in the fertility rate of Muslim women in Muslim countries in the last 30 years. While most Muslim women averaged 6-7 children 30 years ago, they now averaged only 2-3, equaling their Western counterparts.

5) Liberal Influences: Muslims who come from conservative Muslim countries to the West are faced with mixed sexes within Western schools. Their Halal Meat is first stunned and then blessed using recorded voices, and these are all considered anathema in Islam.

6) Embarrassing Converts: Many celebrity converts have proven embarrassing, due to their immoral public behaviors, such as the boxer Mike Tyson, or Andrew Tate, and even Zeeko's naked women.

7) Polemics against Islam: There is a plethora of new Polemical attacks confronting Islam on 3 fronts (called I.C.E. = Internally, Culturally and Externally) using very public platforms including YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, which are forcing Islamic apologists onto the defense.

8) Intellectual Fatigue: Due to these many attacks, the Da'wah pundits are finding it increasingly difficult to defend their religion publicly, so they are running away from debating Christian Polemicists at Speaker's Corner, or at Book Stalls, and even on the Internet.

9) Da'wah Shift: Because the Da'ists cannot deal with the theological and historical polemics, they are changing their narrative to that of politics, using the recent Palestinian issues as a rallying cry to create sympathy for Islam.

10) Death to Apostates: Due to the 'avalanche of Apostasy' in the UK especially, pundits like Ali Dawah have publicly claimed that apostates must be killed for their apostasy, which hasn't gone down well with the general public.

11) Geographical influence: Most Muslims in Europe are sequestered in tight communities within large cities, and are not found in the much larger geographical suburban and rural areas, resulting in few Western Europeans even meeting them. Nor are they influenced by them, so that they don't have much of a concern for them.

Thus, while urban politicians and journalists must deal with the Muslim's many public demands, which fill our media outlets, the larger European population are not affected by them at all. In fact, they find them more of a distraction and a nuisance, than what the national media tries to portray.
