Londonistan: The Rise of Islam and the Decline of Churches in the UK

Oct 11, 2024 | In this video, we explore the transformation of London, often dubbed "Londonistan," where mosques are rising while historic churches are closing their doors.

Once dominated by Christianity, the city is now witnessing a surge in the Muslim population and the construction of over 1,800 mosques, replacing some of the oldest churches.

Is this a sign of Christianity's decline, or is it a reflection of a more diverse and inclusive society?

Join us as we examine the growing influence of Islam in the UK and what it means for the future of London. From Sharia courts to packed Friday prayers, we unravel the demographic shift that's shaping the capital.


If you found this short video depressing, I’m not surprised. One can but wonder how long it is going to take for a complete take-over of this ‘Sceptered Isle’? And when that happens, will Trafalgar Square be turned into ‘chop-chop square’ for public beheadings? There are other questions that need to be asked, too: When will the burqa become mandatory on our streets for British women? When will the drinking of alcohol be outlawed? And when will special licences be required for the dwindling ‘Christian’ population to be able to purchase their pork rations from the ever-fewer pork butchers?

If you conclude from this that our politicians have lacked spine, you’d be right. If you conclude from this that the concepts of wokeness and political correctness have been thought-up to spare our politicians the discomfort of taking difficult decisions, you’d also probably be right. And if you are wondering why the far-right are on the march right across Europe and the Western world, don’t! The growth of the far-right is perfectly understandable. The Occident is being turned into the Orient right before our eyes. — © Mark Alexander

C of E Crisis as It Loses 1.7m Followers - and Islam Gains 900,000: Former Archbishop Lord Carey warns: 'Church Is a Generation from Extinction'

MAIL ON SUNDAY: Lord Carey called for urgent action to reverse slump in followers / Britons identifying themselves as C of E or Anglican dropped to 17 per cent / Current Archbishop Justin Welby has also said decline needs tackling / Government statistician says figures are 'very serious' for Church

The Church of England has suffered a dramatic slump in its followers, shocking new figures show.

Between 2012 and 2014, the proportion of Britons identifying themselves as C of E or Anglican dropped from 21 per cent to 17 per cent – a fall of about 1.7 million people.

Over the same period, the number of Muslims in Britain grew by nearly one million, according to a survey by the respected NatCen Social Research Institute.

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey warned last night that unless urgent action was taken, the Church was just ‘one generation away from extinction’.

The number of Anglicans in Britain has dropped from about 10.3 million to 8.6 million, and will raise fresh fears over the future of the Church of England, which has been in decline since the 1960s.

Lord Carey, who has warned before about dwindling congregations, said: ‘These figures are a call to urgent mission. I have no doubt at all that the Archbishops, together with the whole leadership of the Church of England, are doing all they can to reverse this trend.’

The current Archbishop, Justin Welby, has also called for the decline to be tackled and is introducing measures to streamline the Church and strengthen its leadership. Read on and comment » | Sanchez Manning and Jonathan Petre for ‘Mail On Sunday’ | Sunday, May 31, 2015

Christianity Is Fading Away in Britain as Islam Surges and Agnosticism Spreads
TELEGRAPH BLOGS – DAMIAN THOMPSON: Poor Rowan Williams: wrong to the end. Christianity is not "fading away" in Britain, he says. Yes it is, as the census figures clearly illustrate.

Since the last census in 2001, the number of Britons identifying themselves, however loosely, as Christians is down 13 percentage points to 59 per cent.

The number of respondents who say they have no religious faith is up 10 points to 25 per cent. Meanwhile, staggeringly, the Muslim population has grown from 1.55 million to 2.7 million, an increase of 1.15 million from 2001 to 2011.

The surge in Islamic belief is entirely a consequence of immigration. The spread of agnosticism and atheism is (though I haven't yet seen the breakdown by age) largely generational. » | Damian Thompson | Tuesday, December 11, 2012
