It's not the number of kids. It's the quality of kids. Some populations in history reproduced rapidly but ended up killing themselves at higher rate. One war and BAM, no more advantage. Or one Cultural Revolution or Ayatollah and the cream of the crop is gone.

So, in theory, if there were only one single Western child but he was the most well-behaved, intelligent and cultured individual ever he would be more than a match for one billion Islamic kids and the future would belong to him?

Or is there actually a quantitative aspect to this after all?

Keep on saying that to yourself. I'm sure it gives the French a lot of comfort.
