The Muslim population in Spain, especially in Barcelona and Salt, is growing at an unimaginable rate. What's helping it rise? The native Spanish birthrate is lower than the replacement rate and college-aged youth are leaving Spain to escape the nation's 50% unemployment rate. While the native Spanish population is decreasing, the Muslim population is increasing with its birthrate double that of native Spaniards as well as the immigration, especially from Saudi Arabia. It was reported that first the husband would come, then the immediate family, then the extended family such as in-laws, cousin, parents, etc.
As a short history lesson, the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) was once taken over by Muslim armies in the 7th century, calling the area Al Andulus but they were not completely expelled till Columbus discovered the New World, about 700 years later.
And what is Spain doing? They are definitely not sitting back and taking it -- both civilians and politicians are making sure that the country isn't completely taken over again. One major mosque building project was stopped because someone had placed a severed pig head, cut in half, on the building site - making the site unclean to Muslims. Plataforma x Catalunya (Platform for Catalonia) leader Joseph Anglada told CBN News that they aren't in Spain to adapt, but to conquer.
Speaking of unclean animals, Muslims of the City of Lleida (which make up a quarter of the city's popluation) tried to have the city officials ban dogs from public transportation, since dogs are also unclean to Muslims. So what has been happening? Dogs dieing out of nowhere. Josep Ortiz of Plataforma x Catalunya in Lleida told CBN News that 12 to 14 dogs died in one day - by being poisoned. "They must have eaten something or were given something..." he said. Were these perros given chocolate?
As strange as all of these things sound, at least the Spanish government is doing their best to stop this "invasion", such as banning the burqa (headscarf for Muslim women) in Lleida, the first Spanish city to do so.
