The population of Turkey is increasing by almost one million every year. In around ten years their population will hit the 90 million mark. 99.0% of Turks are moslem, so it's fair to say that, if Turkey joins the EU, around 90 million moslems from Turkey will be able to live and work in our country.
Religion in the United Kingdom Christianity (59.5%) Non-religious (25.7%) Not stated (7.2%) Islam (4.4%) Hinduism (1.5%) Other religions (1.8%)
The Turks are the progressives of the Moslem world, with a secular state and under half the population doing the whole daily prayer thing. I'd welcome them into the EU in the next decade or so if they keep up the 8%+ GDP growth figures.
750,000 - 780,000 btw The current population is 75 million, so by your own calculation it will take twice as long as you have stated. Around 75% are Muslims and around 1/2 are 'practising' Muslims, which leaves less than 40 million, out of which not all will be able to travel due to age, skill-set, home-based commitments or the fact that they simply don't want to. If they migrate as the Poles have around 10 years ago (unlikely), then the Islamic population in the UK could rise by 12-15%. However, if you want to create an alarmist scenario and encourage other people to be xenophobic and anti-Islamic ...
Also worth mentioning that Turkey over the next ten years could have an economy only second to Germany so would be a very good addition to the EU. There would probably be more migration into Turkey than vice versa.
Where did you get 750,000 - 780,000 from. I make it around 930,000. 99.0% of the population of Turkey are registered as moslem. Practising or not. Every single one of them, that's around 90,000,000 people in 10 years time will be eligible to live and work in our country. True or false. Also, the Turkish government have said that any moslem from anywhere in the world is welcome to apply for Turkish citizenship. So that's another 1,000,000,000 people. To allow Turkey to join the EU would be suicide.
Why are you afraid of Turkish Muslims coming to the UK? As I said they live in a secular state, they have secularism enshrined into the constitution - they are not likely to demand Sharia Law in the UK when they don't even want it in their own country. Anyway they'll all move to Germany, there's already a million of them there and people tend to migrate towards places which already have friends and family present.
What the **** are you on about? Now the romanians/bulgarians haven't turned up, the turks are the new baddies? Daft prick There are millions of people that can come to the UK already, they don't though. Not everyone wants to live here, it's a bit of a ****hole to be honest. Turkey has a thriving economy and is (probably, I've never been) a nice place to live. The UK is far from being a superior alternative. It doesn't matter how many muslims come here Unless they bring their muslamic ray guns, in which case we're all ****ed
We can't take the chance. We'd be ****ed if even 1,000,000 moved here, which could happen. It would lead to further islamisation of our country and hasten our demise.
That's what makes me laugh. All these bigoted ****s in the BNP, UKip etc. think all the johnny foreigners are desperate to come live here. What for? The pishing rain? Floods? Two weeks of sun a year? TV channels full of so-called reality ****e? ER?
