Dr. Antonio Graceffo, PhD, chronicles here the rising persecution of Christans by Islamists and Muslim expansion.

“Muslim expansion continues today. In late July 2026, an estimated 70,000 to 80,000 migrants crossed the border from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta within days, the largest such crossing on record. Across Europe, Pew Research projects that the Muslim share of the population will rise from roughly 5 percent in 2016 to between 11 and 14 percent by 2050. This increase is driven by migration and a fertility gap. European Muslims average 2.6 children per woman, compared with 1.6 for non-Muslims. Pew notes that this gap would continue pushing the Muslim share upward even if migration stopped entirely.At the same time, Christian identification across Europe fell from 74 percent of the population in 2010 to 67 percent in 2020. France and the United Kingdom lost their Christian majorities altogether.

The pattern that largely emptied Iraq, Egypt, and Turkey of their Christian populations over centuries is now visible in compressed form on the European continent itself.“
