In charge of Muslim council Syed Muhammad Mosavi said that 2000 mosques are constructed in last one decade and 150 mosques are under construction in France and 4000 mosques are needed to be constructed in next decade.

Daily Lakawaix reported that only 10 churches were constructed in last 10 years and 40 churches are closed due to lack of attention and many churches are being purchased by the Muslims and they are constructing mosques over there.

An American office wrote in their web site that Islam is spreading very fast in France door of mosques are always open for the Muslims. Now number of mosque is greater than churches in France. And 25 million people are totally religious and 19 million Catholics are acting on their religion.

Whats the difference between a church and a mosque?

Not quite understanding these numbers when there are 40,000 churches in France and 2,000 mosques. Last I calculated, 2,000 is about 5% of 40,000, not "more than."

Translator - wooohoooo touched a nerve did I.

You mean a bit like all the North American muslims I come across in my job (i work in recruitment) who live in North america just long enough to get their passport and then they leave to come back to the middle east - those muslims??????

I think he is talking about White French converts.

According to Wikipedia something around 100000 people converted in France in the last few years.

Translator, they are NOT for immigrant Muslims? Only for French ones? But aren't those French Muslims immigrants in the first place? :/

jjj75: They can turn them to Museums or night shelters for the homeless.

But why would the Muslim population move anywhere?

TB...well said. Some people just need to get over the religion issues 24x7...there are much better things in life to do then counting churches and mosques ...if one gets indigestion without counting, count how many are dying of hunger and thirst worldover and do something in your personal capacity without blowing trumpets.
