Agree, If you see the link I sent to gapminder it shows the Muslim nations (as they get wealthier - Bangladesh Is about 2.5kids per woman, Indonesia is about the same, India (Hindi/muslim before comment comes in) is even lower) are heading the same way as the Western nations, sub-Saharan Africa is where it is still 6 kids per women but as women are educated and move away from subsistence farming the less children they have. generally the “middle class” (in whatever religious society) don’t have lots of kids. My ‘subsistence farming’ great grandparents had 12 kids (4 died at child birth), grandparents about 4 kids, my parents had 3kids, we’ve 2kids, I’m not sure we’ll even get 2 grandkids.
We are all using our blinkered view on life and it’s not our fault:
Can you share birth stats for the Arab countries?
Watching the news on Gaza and Beriut seems to be that large families are commonplace?
