The arrival of hundreds of thousands of mostly Muslim refugees in Europe have drawn renewed attention to the continent’s Muslim population. In many European countries, including France, Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, concerns about growing Muslim communities have led to calls for restrictions on immigration. Germany and France have the largest Muslim populations. The Muslim share of Europe’s total population has been increasing steadily. By 2030 Muslims are projected to make up 8% of Europe’s population. The average age of Muslims throughout Europe is eight years younger than the median for all Europeans. Views of Muslims vary widely across European countries, but ten nations in eastern and southern Europe have prevailing negative views while respondents in the UK, Germany, France, Sweden and the Netherlands gave Muslims a favourable rating. We can pray for the Church to develop culturally relevant and powerful evangelism tailored specifically for our Muslim neighbours.
