Is Texas About to Fall to Islam? Lessons from Londonistan for the Lone Star State
by Peter McIlvenna Nov. 14, 2025 1:40 pm
The creeping transformation of Western cities under demographic and cultural pressures has long been a cautionary tale in Europe, particularly in the UK, where London—once a beacon of Enlightenment values (and more importantly biblical truths) — has earned the moniker “Londonistan” for its visible embrace of parallel Islamic societies. With 15% of its population now Muslim, the city features halal-dominated high streets and Friday prayer congregations that overwhelm urban traffic.
Across the Atlantic, Texas stands at a similar crossroads, its Muslim population surging amid rapid urbanization in hubs like Dallas and Houston. While Europe’s trajectory offers stark parallels—accelerated by lax policies and demographic shifts—Texas still holds unique tools, like robust state legislation, to diverge from this path. This article compares the two regions across key indicators, underscoring why the Lone Star State must heed Britain’s missteps to avoid a similar fate.
Demographics: The Slow-Motion Shift
Europe’s Muslim demographics have reshaped societies in ways once dismissed as alarmist. In the UK, the Muslim population expanded by 111% from 2001 to 2016, dwarfing the 10.7% growth in the native population. Muhammad has topped boys’ names in England for three years straight, while cities like Paris (15% Muslim) and Brussels (30%) reflect broader continental trends: France’s Muslim average age is 31, two decades younger than native Europeans. Officials framed this as benign immigration and fertility, but it has fostered “conquest by womb and visa,” eroding cultural cohesion.
Texas mirrors this acceleration. The state’s Muslim population has risen 25% in a decade to 350,000–400,000, with projections placing Islam as America’s second-largest faith by 2040. Prison conversions bolster this: 9–18% of inmates identify as Muslim, comprising 80% of all religious shifts behind bars.
Europe’s dismissal of “demography is destiny” led to Londonistan; Texas risks the same if unchecked growth outpaces integration.
