Think I saw data showing that Italy and Germany have zero popoulation growth. VERY bad news for the economies of those countries.

I'm going to try to find the article when I get home, but I read recently that Italy's birth rate among ethnic Italians is actually negative, but that their overall population is increasing at 2-3% per year and that by the year 2020 Italy would be a majority muslim nation unless the trends were reversed.

That tidbit of information was in an article about the grossly intrusive new mosque built in Rome, the one that the Pope had opposed building and had personally asked Rome's muslim leaders not to build.

Yes, I was referring to native births in both Italy and Germany. I remember seeing such an article a few years ago. My son was stationed in Germany for three years and he brought the article to my attention.
