Both of the approaches are silly. You cannot guess that the immigrant cross-section is identical to the crossection of the country of origin. The only way to go about it is go and count 'em.

I made an estimated guess about how many muslims there was in denmark without specially thinking about the correct amout since it actually didn't had any point according to the other 95 % of the posting.
Approx 50 postings has quarreled about this single point so now I quote myself with a minor correction.

Well, thirty years ago there was less than 0.5 % muslims here - now there is approx52-7 %. If anyone had said that 30 years ago they would have been rediculed.
I don't mind muslims as such, but some of them gives problems. It's not only a religious problem - there are also cultural issuses involved, but they are some kind of linked.
- we had a lot of family joints(?) through forced marriage - that is reduced drastically through our 24 year rule.
- many women of islamic tradition isn't working partly because of belief, partly tradition. That would not be a problem if they were just housewifes, but they are treated as unemployed and gets the benefits of that.
- there has been several cases where children that apparently has gooten used to normal danish life has been send back to the origin country for "reeducation".
- there has been way too many "honor killings" (in my opinion then anyone participating in such are the ones that loose their honour and disgraces their family ). This isn't a muslim treat but a ethnic/cultural such, but is a part of the picture.
- last but not least, many of these people doesn't see it as natural that their children should marry locals - they prefer that they marry someone from their origin country.
Guess that from now on, I'm considered an evil racist by everyone here at Poly
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

1st # is Immigrants with Danish citizenship
2nd # is Immigrants without Danish citizenship

3rd # is Descendants with Danish citizenship
4th # is Descendants without Danish citizenship
= Total for descendants.
I'm aware that Sri Lanka's inclusion is dubious, although a good portion of the people from there are Muslims.
Same for a number of countries in Africa (they're all included, to ease the calculation), but most of those with little or no Muslim tradition have very low numbers of people migrating here.
Could be trouble with a couple of the ex-Soviet republics as well, but again, the numbers are to low to significantly skew the picture.
Ready?

Yeah well look at the insignificant numbers of most of those countries. I hate to repeat myself, but all of Africa was included solely to ease the computation, bearing in mind that the numbers were too low to skew anything too much. The top 23 countries I posted above are what matters; they account for 92% of the 4.91% total.
And about Lebanon: Christians may constitute an important part of this country's demographics, but I can assure you that the immigrants we have from Lebanon are very close to being exclusively of Palestinian descent, and thus Muslim.
Anyway, the homemade, highly in-direct tally was meant as an approximation. To show that claiming only a 2 or 3% Muslim immigrant segment is in actuality just an attempt of trivializing the matter by some..

Idea. Since you are ignorant of these things, STFU.

Winston... get out more.
Muslims are no more dangerous than Christians. Fundamentalists and political exploiters of any religion are.
Let the Muslims come. Slowly but very surely we make them better people by corrupting their religious morals with our lack of any. They are no greater threat to basic human ethics than Christians are.
If Muslims are a threat to Christians? - I couldn't care less!

Though the machines and systems can be cruel, and genocidal, it seems that the old-school human approach is so much more ruthless, and thorough.
