In today’s episode, I explore the growing presence of large-scale Shia Muslim processions that are becoming increasingly visible across Western cities, in larger numbers every year. Festivals I once attended and partook in as a 5 year old in Iran - and which I would never have imagined proudly being displayed across Western cities. These public displays, which many find unfamiliar or even intimidating, are signals of a much deeper and rarely discussed transformation.
This video is not a critique of Islam or Muslims. Rather, it’s a reflection on what lies beneath these visible shifts. There is currently an unprecedented demographic shift reshaping Western societies. Good? bad? That’s not the point of the video. The video is just dissecting the phenomena.
Most European countries have fertility rates well below replacement level (2.1 children per woman). This fertility collapse among native European populations and the steady growth of immigrant communities with higher birth rates, raises questions for how this will shape culture and law in the West over the next 30 years.
Let’s dig into it.
A few years ago a friend of mind sent me a video of an imam speaking in a mosque in Sweden, where he is congratulating Muslims for changing the culture of Sweden by making babies. He goes: “there are many among Swedish people who don’t want to have children, that is not our fault, instead, we, the Muslim population living in Sweden, have at least 4 or 5 (he laughs), in future, let’s say in 10 or 20 years Sweden will have more Muslims than Christians. Mash Allah!” I am so glad you wrote about this matter! Thank you! 🙏🏻
