By 2030, Muslims are expected to make up 8% of Europe's population including an estimated 19 million in the EU (3.8%),[227] including 13 million foreign-born Muslim immigrants.[228] Islam is widely considered as the fastest growing religion in Europe due primarily to immigration and above average birth rates.[227][229][230] Between 2010 and 2015 the Muslim fertility rate in Europe was (2.1). On the other hand, the fertility rate in Europe as a whole was (1.6).[230] Pew study also reveals that Muslims are younger than other Europeans. In 2010, the median age of Muslims throughout Europe was (32), eight years younger than the median for all Europeans (40).[228] According to a religious forecast for 2050 by Pew Research Center conversion does not add significantly to the growth of the Muslim population in Europe,[231] according to the same study the net loss is (−60,000) due to religious switching.[232]
