The Muslim women can only keep churning out babies if somebody else is paying for it all. The crisis will come not in 2050, but in the next 5 years, when the European welfare states can no longer afford to subsidize so many unproductive citizens True, to an extent. The origin of the Muslim welfare state is the Middle East, where vast oil wealth has allowed for economic basket cases to turn a profit for decades. The baby boom in the Middle East won't end until the oil states become too burdened to be profitable.

I was thinking more of the European welfare states with their unemployed Muslim immigrants, and their middle class who must be slowly realizing that the angry young men who are torching cars in France won't grow up to meekly work and pay taxes to support the elderly infidels
Saudi might stave off the inevitable for a while. The Palestinians are screwed in the near term, as they depend on cash subsidies from Europe as well as arab countries
