DDHK News, UK - One in 10 babies under the age of five (toddlers) in England and Wales is a Muslim. The Times (9/1) launched the results of a consensus that has been conducted since 2011 for 3,5 million children under five. In fact, 320 thousand of them came from Muslim families. Children aged zero to four who come from Christian families number around 1,5 million.
Oxford University demographer David Coleman said the findings were quite surprising, although only a start. "Britain has opened up Muslim immigration for a long time," Coleman was quoted as saying republica.co.id from The Independent.
Britain has opened immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. Now added with immigrants from African and Middle Eastern countries.
The birth rate for Muslims of Pakistani and Bangladeshi descent is still quite high, although it has decreased relatively from the previous. *
