whiskey_199: Add to that Iran, Algeria, and Tunisia which according to the CIA WORLD FACTBOOK have replacement rates of around 1.7 and even Muslim countries have low birth rates. Of course, Yemen has 8! So the situation is varied.
There is a frequently overlooked offset with respect to Muslim reproduction rates and one that I’d dearly love to see explored in depth: Namely, the extraneous impacts of consanguineous marriage. It is a well-known fact that the MME (Muslim Middle East) has both some of the highest rates of consanguineous unions and the dubious distinction of how: “Seven of the 10 countries with the highest birth defect rates are Muslim nations.
Given this disastrous convergence of cause and effect so common to Islamic cultures, it is easy to imagine that much of the legendary Muslim over-breeding produces sub-prime genetic stock. What’s more, the defect rate automatically implies massively disproportionate outlays—be they private or governmental—for post-natal and lifelong health care.
In fact the British government has already rebuked MP Paul Woolas for noting, along with fellow Labour MP, Ann Cryer, how “research showed British Pakistanis were 13 times more likely to have children with recessive disorders than the general population.”
Called the “elephant in the room”, this stark reminder of yet one more drawback to unrestricted Muslim immigration was clearly ill-received by political leadership already in denial about “no-go zones”, soaring crime rates and a spate of recent unsuccessful terrorist attacks in Great Britain.
Given this markedly negative outcome in a land far distant from the MME, it only stands to reason that the impact of elevated birth defect rates is far more severe in Islamic countries. It is equally safe to say that such humiliating admissions are not likely to be forthcoming from Muslim governments regarding this glaring defiance of natural law.
As with how much of Islam treats its young, this voluntary participation in risky genetic comingling—knowing full well of its potential impact upon newborns—demonstrates the usual callous disregard that Muslims have for the welfare of their children. Once again, Islamic culture betrays itself as one that has a thoroughly diminished respect for the sanctity of human life. No surprise, and even less shocking in how—as usual—Islam hobbles itself through prideful insistence upon entrenched practices that are clearly against its own best interest.
I can only anticipate that this consistent pattern of ill-thought-out decisions will persist right up and until the first Islamic nuclear weapons launch triggers a total annihilation of the MME.
