Before we talk about comparative birth rates in Muslim and Christian nations, we have to talk about a weakness that 21st Century Christianity faces in its competition with Islam. A Martyr in the Christian religion is one who dies for his faith. A Martyr in the Muslim religion is not just one who dies for his faith, but one who kills for his faith. How is Christianity going to compete with people who are not just willing to die for their religion, but to kill for their religion?
Birth rates among almost all Western Christian nations are below replacement, and that includes America. Eastern European birth rates are also below replacement. In the non-white areas of the world that have Christians, e.g. Latin America and Africa, they look to Europeans as their role models, because Europe brought Christianity to those countries. But Europe's greatest export is socialism, and many Latin American and African nations are embracing socialism. Latin America has Hugo Chavez and Bolivia has Evo Morales, while Africa has Mandela and Mugabe, all socialist/communist trend-setters for those regions.
One of the consequences of socialism is excessive use of contraception and abortion. The ANC legalized abortion in South Africa in 1997. You are going to see more use of contraception and abortion among third world Christians, because they see Europeans as their role models. Third world immigrants to Europe and America vote for left-wing political parties, which are pro-abortion.
What about the Muslim world? They encourage polygamy, which increases the number of children. Nigeria is today split 50-50 between Muslims and Christians. But Nigerian Christians are better educated, practice monogamy, and use contraception. The Muslims in Northern Nigeria impose sharia and burkas on their women, discourage contraception, and practice polygamy, which maximizes the number of children. What is significant about Nigeria? The country has the largest population of any country in Africa, of 160 million. Where Nigeria goes, the rest of Africa will follow.
With regard to India, I came across this anti-Jihad website that reveals that India's Muslims are out-breeding the Hindus: http://sioespain.wordpress.com/2010/11/25/study-shows-that-muslims-will-conquer-the-world-by-2050/
The website says that India's Hindu women are having 2.9 children per woman, while India's Muslims are having 4.1 children per family.
We need to remember that Turkey was once a Christian nation, the heart of the great Christian Byzantine Empire. The biggest Turkish City, Istanbul, used to be called Constantinople, a city named after a Christian emperor, Constantine. The North African nations of Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia and Egypt, were also, at one time, Christian nations.
Doesn’t matter, we are going down WAY before 2050!
America is about to IMPLODE!
To primative angry miserable violent people its a tough choice.
Nope...
The answer to the question is no. Christianity always thrives the most under persecution. The Roman Empire nor Communist China could prevent Christianity from thriving and expanding. Islam won’t be able to, either.
There will be billions of fewer human inhabitants then, too.
They count their numbers like Catholics do, if you are born into their territory (parents), then they count you forever.
So a lot of this is just inflated.
Christianity will be silenced as we have seen already and will become increasing so ....
Itchy ears want to hear what they want to hear....and there are now more of them then those who seek truth.
from what I understand, Christianity in Africa and Asia is growing by leaps and bounds. From what I read in the mainstream media Christianity is on life support.
Our secret weapon against Islam will be when we spring Feminism on them. They’re gonna wish we’d go back to dropping them Daisy Cutters.
This is not something the average American is concerned with even if they are aware. They have nothing to fight back with except their representatives, who refuse to acknowledge there is an enemy “IN the house”.
They don’t need a majority to destroy any Western Civilized Country. They only need enough people to get the attention of liberals there and make the liberals pander for their votes. They only need enough to gather together in any city in enough numbers to overwhelm the police. They only need a complicit liberal media to make excuses for them, lie for them, dissemble for them, and keep their truth from the rest of the populations.
They only need a Muslim US President.....er, uh....wait......
Oh Shit!
The “growth” of Muslims will continue as long as Christians subsidize them. If Christians stop subsidize the procreation of Muslims, natural attrition will balance out things.
This is the same as the minority population in the US. Minorities will continue to have 12-14 children as long as whitey pays for them. (Meanwhile whitey only has one child because that is all they can afford).
If there is total economic collapse in the West, nature will take care of things.
Many forget the oil revenues continue to flow, and with it the support of the Islamification of other countries. Other nations are are struggling economically...theirs are building and expanding....as well their agenda in all countries.
When Jesus claims His bride, Islam will be the dominant religion on earth... no question about that.
I seriously doubt we will have to wait for more than 3 years for the Christian population to “zero out” in the blink of an eye.
No. Birth rates in Islamic nations have absolutely collapsed. Iran’s total fertility rate went from 6.5 in the 1980s to 1.3. (2.1 is the replacement rate.) Turkey’s went from 6.3 to 2.0. Syria is shedding population. Indonesia (the most populous) went from 5.6 to 2.1.
>>from what I understand, Christianity in Africa and Asia is growing by leaps and bounds. From what I read in the mainstream media Christianity is on life support.
Yep. To hear the liberal media, Christianity is dying off. But, talk to a convert from west Africa and you hear a different story. Once Obama’s Progressive “transformation” is complete, faith will become important again in America too (and probably illegal or at least discouraged—strongly). Most church-going Americans think that faith is what you do for one hour a week, maybe two if they are “really devout”. This nation will become the world’s ripest mission field in about 20 years—for Christianity and Islam. What will we choose when our luxury-filled comsumer lifestyle is gone?
The Jews and the 144,000 will be seriously outnumbered.
Given how our own media is delinquent on things concerning our own country (Fast & Furious, Benghazi, Obama's history) why should we trust them to accurately report on things that don't concern the country?
But they have not collapsed in the developing countries...in Europe their BRs are much higher than the national population...check out the muzzie BRs in Spain, England, (most popular boys name...mohammed).
That is the problem...European national BRs are below the 2.1 rate while the muzzies are breeding like flies...or roaches.
