it's tough to find primary sources for this internet

A large proportion of this increase is Muslim. The UN says that Europe's Muslim population has doubled over the past decade from eight to sixteen million, and it is predicted to continue to rise at the rate of one million per year. This contrasts sharply with the negative birth rates of many of the native European ethnic groups. Across the European Union (EU), the birth rate hovers around 1.5 children per woman.

i can find tons of articles that refer to the higher birthrate of the immigrants, but no hard numbers, at least, not in english.

do you have some statistics that disagree with this common perception?
