>As civilizations become prosperous they have progressively fewer children. It happened to Rome.

It’s not money. Poor, rich, it all doesn’t matter. The only thing that corresponds to birth rates is how liberated women are. More liberated, the lower the birth rate. The less liberated the higher the birth rate. This trend has been observed as far back as Ancient Sparta and Babylon.

This is why Muslims out breed everyone. They tend to keep their women pretty unliberated.

Look the groups in the America that have tons of kids: The Amish and the Hasidic jews both have tons of kids keep their women pretty unliberated and both are very wealthy groups.

More prosperous societies have more "liberated women" as in Rome. Moslem societies stay poor except when they can suck off the wealth of other societies. Their rigidity and inability to change ensures that they will stay poor and that their birthrate will be high. Moslem societies are still and will ever be very primitive. They are much closer to bare subsistence living than other societies, even where there is oil wealth. The sheiks, emirs, sultans, pashas, beys, and deys, suck off all the wealth beyond just enough to keep their people alive and breeding. Islam cannot change because it is set in stone in detail and enforcement is decentralized. Your brother or your neighbor will kill you if you step out of line.
