Err... if you weren't so constantly and deliberately misleading people on the topic I'd give you the benefit of the doubt that you had misread the article. But seeing as this isn't the case...
The census does NOT shows the Muslim population has gone from 3% to 4.8%. What is shows is that the Muslim population has increased
by 3% from 1.8% to 4.8%. In 10 years.
Meanwhile, as you (correctly, for once) pointed out, 86% of the English/Welsh population is white, down from 91%. There are only approximately 100,00 white Muslims (
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12075931).
To summarise, in merely a 10 year period, the native UK population has proportionately decreased by 5% (and numerically by 400,00), while the Muslim population has increased by 3%. That represents astonishingly explosive and exponential growth.
So as far as "statistically misleading" people by denying this is a problem (unless you welcome sharia law in the UK), and looking at facts rather than projections, which is what seems to be the most popular way of forming opinions on this forum by demographic time-bomb deniers, it would seem that you are, quite blatantly, the primary culprit in terms of misleading people and skewing data to fit your delusional theory.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. You can argue back and forth about "predictions" that various agencies, think tanks, governments, the UN make, all of them contradictory about what lies ahead in the future, what trends will slow down, what trends will speed up, regardless of whether they support or counteract your arguments. But basing conclusions and knee-jerk opinions on this is a fallacy, because at the end of the day they are trying to predict the future. They are "guesstimating". There is a miserable rate of accuracy in humanity's predictions of future trends, demographics, wars, you name it.
However, all it takes is a quick glance at existing demographics across Europe and comparing them to earlier data, to conclude that there is a serious immigration and birth growth by a population of people who do
not share our Western values - in fact, who would rather replace them with their primitive ones - and have absolutely no interest in intergrating.
That, to me, is frightening.
