Sverige runder 9.5 mio. indbyggere

Siden 1992 er folkemængden øget med en million:

Befolkningsstatistiken för första halvåret visar på en fortsatt stabil folkökning. Under våren passerade vi 9,5 miljoner och den sista juni uppgick folkmängden i Sverige till 9 514 406 invånare.

Under årets första sex månader invandrade 45 270 personer. Det är något fler jämfört med samma period förra året. Som en följd av oroligheterna i Syrien och Afghanistan har invandringen av medborgare därifrån ökat med nästan 70 procent från respektive land. Antalet födda barn har ökat för varje år under 2000-talet. Undantaget var 2011 då det föddes färre barn än året innan, men detta verkar endast vara en tillfällig nedgång. Under första halvåret 2012 föddes 57 428 barn vilket var 743 fler än föregående år. Antalet avlidna uppgick till 47 467 personer.

»Islam er kun én ting«

Det må man ikke sige for de hjemlige apologeter og islamologer, men over halvdelen af verdens muslimer siger det. Hvem har ret ? Lægen eller patienten? Ny PEW undersøgelse:

According to the Pew survey results, a majority (more than 50%) of Muslims in 32 of 39 countries believes that “There is only one true way to interpret the teachings of my religion.”

Recent results of the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion and Public Life multi-year survey of beliefs and practices by the world’s Muslims that were published 8 August 2012 are remarkable in a number of respects. First of all, the broad scope of the project—based on 38,000 face-to-face interviews conducted with Muslims in 39 different countries and territories—ensured a wide range of opinions from a diverse sampling of Muslim communities. The results, however, show a high level of agreement about one of the most debated issues concerning Islam: Whether Muslims believe Islamic teaching is subject to various “interpretations” or only one. As Islamic teaching is derived from the Qur’an, the Sira, and the ahadith (which together are the main sources for Sharia, or Islamic law), in essence this was a question about Muslim beliefs about the fundamentals of their faith.

The highest levels of agreement with that statement were found in places perhaps not expected to score at or above the 75% mark: Bosnia-Herzegovina (in the heart of Europe) and Tajikistan (in Central Asia). Three of the most populous Muslim countries—Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan—all scored above 70% agreement on the oneness of Islamic doctrine, a level of orthodoxy that tracks well with Pakistan’s jihadist image, but may come as a jolt to those who still think that Islam’s East Asian strongholds are somehow more willing to diverge from core Islamic doctrine than their Middle Eastern co-religionists.

In fact, Indonesian Muslims’ 72% level of agreement that there is “only one true way to interpret” Islam places them just a few points behind Egypt and Jordan, with 78% and 76%, respectively. It was the Sub-Saharan African Muslims who posted the strongest display of Sharia adherence, however: All 16 survey countries from Mali and Nigeria in West Africa to Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania in the east scored above the 50% mark of agreement on the “one true” interpretation question.
