Who said anything about "cannon fodder"? We (the West) don't do cannon fodder any more, and only did for a brief time. Numbers remain important. I realize that you have met some very nice people who happen to be moslems. So have I. Doesn't mean I want to live in a country ruled by moslems, according to mohammedan principles. Yet that is precisely the goal of islam; it is not to assimilate, to become Western. It is to destroy the West. Always has been.
I'm not talking about relgion, I'm talking about having kids purely for numbers...
Not because you're a great parent, not because you'll love them to pieces, not because you want to bring more good humans into the world....
But because you've got this quota to meet.
To have a child for the wrong reason is cruel--- whether to be a field hand, to be an 'heir' to your name or to outnumber your enemy. The kid knows it....
