Just as the world at large is experiencing an unprecedented collapse of demography, the UN Population Division reports a sharp decline of fertility rates (number of births per woman) in Muslim and Arab countries, excluding Afghanistan and Yemen.

The myth of "doubling population every 20 years" has been shattered against the cliffs of demography. The director-general of UNESCO, Koichiro Matsuura, stated, during a UNESCO conference on "Population: From Explosion to Implosion," that "there is an abrupt slowdown in the rate of growth... also in many countries where women have only limited access to education and employment... There is not the slightest reason to assume that the decline in fertility will miraculously stop just at replacement level (2.1 births per woman)... Before 2000, the young always outnumbered their elders; for some years now it has been the other way around."

THE collapse of fertility rates in Muslim countries is a

That’s because the really fertile ones are moving to Western nations.

A significant quote from the article:

“The annual number of Jewish births (including among those immigrants from the former USSR who have yet to be recognized as Jews by the rabbinate) rose by 40% between 1995-2007.”

Iran is a special case because they actually have a population control plan there.

In 1993, Iran dropped certain maternity benefits for couples who had more than three children. According to the BBC, Iran is believed to be the only country where men and women are required to attend classes about contraception before they can obtain a marriage license. In addition, Iran has made both condoms and contraceptive pills widely available. Contraceptive pills are available at pharmacies across Iran, and the government gives away condoms at health clinics around the country.

Think “Suicide Bombers” might have anything to do with it? Just a wild speculation, could be wrong.

What I find interesting (and disturbing) is the RELATIVE fertility rates of Muslims vs Non-muslims in Western European Nations... In the UK, France, Germany etc — Muslims are by far the fastest growing demo group and this is happening largely by reproduction (as opposed to new rounds of immigration)... feeding of the social-welfare systems of the “enlightened west” Muslims are like an invasive species that have found ideal living and breeding conditions and no natural predators in a new environment. They have already begun to displace the indigenous populations. Sadly “the Muslim nation” with the best future prospects is probably — England.

A somewhat older but still very relevant and interesting article on this subject is here:

Demographics and Iran's imperial design

A search on the Jerusalem Post site for "Spengler Iranian demographics" will yield a lot of good articles if anyone is interested. Thanks to Supersid at Lucianne.com for the Spengler lead.

Muslim women, through exposure to Western men (who actually bathe), have discovered that they no longer find their mates appealing?

Raise a child, raise a bomb? Nah, that would indicate some morality on their part, not to have a child because it would just get blown up.

Maybe...just waiting for the media to figure out how all those dead rapists and terrorists...ah, I mean...wedding goers who were brutally murdered in cold blood by evil baby-killers figure in to the population change.

no natural predators in a new environment

The Natural predators of Islamites have been neutralized by the virus of secular humanism.
