"Muslims in EU Parliament Disproportionate
By Dr. Mozammel Haque

There are six Muslim Members in the European Parliament out of 785 MEPs in the European Parliament: two from the United Kingdom, two from Germany, one from France and one from Netherlands. The grand total of non-white MEPs, whose ethnic origins could be said to lie outside Europe, is 15, according to Patrick Barkham who reported from Brussels. There are 1.1% of the total Members. At least 5% of the population of the EU - 25 million and rising - is non-white."
