Poll Results: Will there be a Muslim state in Western Europe in the next century?

183 people took part in the poll, answering the question "Will there be a Muslim state in Western Europe in the next century?"

The results:

* Yes - 117 (63%)
* No - 66 (36%)

I had phrased the question in the most general way possible. Muslims are a minority in Western Europe today, making up 3-5% of most Western European countries, and I therefore do not see any of today's countries turning into Muslim states. However, there are three issues which could lead to an independent Muslim state:

1. The Muslim population congregates in the major cities, where they currently make up up to 25% of the population. Among the youth, this figure is much higher and reaches up to 40%.

2. Europe is experiencing a drive towards separatism, as can be seen, for example, in Belgium and Spain.

3. Coupled with the EU umbrella, independence has never been easier.
