Ok whatever the actual number, it is a lot. As a matter of interest, and I am not having a dig in the slightest, but can you be an ex muslim? I imagine that this would not be a problem here and in other countries in Western Europe, but can you simply say "that's it, I am not coming again and don't believe all this rubbish" in a muslim country? Are you saying above that there are 4000,000 ex muslims?
What any enemy of democracy wants is fear. Fear causes division. Division lets them in. Brexit, a decision based on confusion and fear has caused a huge divide, IS will be revelling in this. No surprise their attacks have stepped up since Brexit was voted in.
It's not Brexit, they are losing ground in Syria and Iraq. They are revelling in it though.

Now, let's not get hysterical, or start fibbing. I didn't say it happened because of Brexit. I said attacks have stepped up since Brexit. The cracks are appearing.So that muslim terrorist killed all those folk in Nice because the brits voted to leave the EU? Yet, the attack had been planned for months, so we are told. If only those who voted for brexit could have listened to you, before they were voted so stupidly, and now they have all got blood on their hands.

I know you don't want to hear it. I wouldn't if I had voted leave. It's not blood on their (voters) hands though. They did it in good faith. Brexit will see an escalation in terrorism and a decrease in Europe's ability to control it, for sure. It's already happening.[/QUOTE]
Actually I voted remain, so the hysterical bit might refer to you. What cracks? This is now the second time you have wildly asserted that there is a link between brexit and increasing attacks, but offer no evidence as to why the two are linked. Might it just be, that as another post pointed out, that IS are losing ground militarily and are desperate to ferment problems in Europe in the hope that attitudes will polarise, (and I suspect they will, if there are more outrages) and thus give them more recruits, if muslim minorities in the west can be portrayed as the victims.

Where did I speculate on your vote?
There is a deluge of expert commentary addressing this very issue. It's all on the internet. Check it out. Don't just take my word for it.
It's a mixture of things. It's a bitter pill to swallow but they will be loving that we are at odds with the EU. Facism thrives in chaos.

There aren't any exact numbers of these things.

But I think that the data maybe around 10 years old.
As for ex muslims.

where you wrote" I know you don't want to hear it. I wouldn't if I had voted leave." !!
As to expert commentary on the internet -I have given up looking at links that are provided, as they tend not to be "expert commentary" rather a piece that the post happens to agree with.
Yep, but we have been our own worst enemy too and have as good as encouraged extremism. It's ironic that ISIS grew out of Iraq, it's also ironic that backing a coup to overthrow Assad turned into a civil war, with us backing the so called rebels, and also turning a blind eye to British Muslim's going to Syria to fight Assad. But turns out that they were joining ISIS instead. And now people are feeling the area we helped to destroy. I won't even bring up Libya.
At every opportunity were it was possible to make things worse, we did. Islam is dangerous and we are incompetent.
