Demographic jihad
Demographic jihad is a purported phenomenon in which Muslims migrate to or have children in a particular region in order to demographically and otherwise dominate it.
India[edit]
Southeast Asia[edit]
Buddhist regions[edit]
Significant violence has occurred against Muslim minorities in Buddhist nations within Southeast Asia, with a common rationale being the fear that Muslims are trying to outbreed the Buddhist population, including by raping Buddhist women.[1][2][3][4]
Muslim regions[edit]
The Jemaah Tarbiyah movement in Indonesia has advocated for the Islamization of society by encouraging the formation of Islamic families.[5]
The West[edit]
Islamophobia in general has mobilized voters in European countries, and united far-right groups across various Western nations.[6]
Europe[edit]
European countries have taken in many refugees and migrants from Muslim-majority countries in recent decades, with far-right groups alleging that Muslim immigration will overwhelm Europe's historically Christian demographics;[7] it has been noted that these anti-Muslim sentiments are echoed historically by antisemitic sentiments within Europe.[8][9]
In the Czech Republic, some groups have alleged that demographic jihad against Europe is being assisted by European NGOs and corrupt politicians, with two-thirds of Czechs seeing Islam as a threat.[10]
