Will Ireland become an Islamic State by 2050?

[mairteenpak]

Given the growth in our population in the last five years, by an influx EU immigrants and non EU immigrants, of many different faiths and none, the rate of immigration must be very high relative to immigration patterns in other Countries. After a few years of immigration over 10% of our population has been born outside the State.

Could Native born Irish people become a minority in our Country by 2050? or 2040?

How would this change our Laws and Constitution?

Will there new Irish integrate?

Do we need all this immigration?

Is it to our Benefit?

Should we apply a quota and seek a derogation from the EU to do so an the back of a NO vote for the Lisbon Treaty?

Because we are such a small Country and the size of the EU is so large the relativity of scale is greatest for Ireland within the EU

What are the Benefits of Immigration?

What are the disadvantages?

How does it benefit our indigenous low paid workforce?

Does it mean an increased welfare burden for us?

Should we cap the number of Assylum applicants to our country?

You do realise that there is no reasoning why Ireland would become an islamic state in your post?

It is at least a remote possibility.

The accession of turkey to the EU could lead to a large influx of Turkish people to our shores.

We might also be over run by a hoard of atheists.

The current trend in migration will drastically change the composition of the Nation.

It is at least a remote possibility.

It's also a remote possibility that we'll be invaded by martians by 2050 (that would make for a much more interesting thread)

We might also be over run by a hoard of atheists.

I believe the correct collective case is a murder of atheists

No is the answer. Move on.

WHY?

Because the idea of such a fundamental shift in religious observation in what is already a predominantly Christian country... and into which the majority of immigration has already been non-Muslim in nature, is preposterous..

[mairteenpak]

No is the answer. Move on.

Why do you conclude no?

Really? I quite like "hoard of atheists". Undertones of pirates and booty and all...
