Only Muslims have a policy of massive breeding. They are exhorted to pray 5 times a day and to proliferate in plenty. Islamic emphasis is on the above dictum and in its reward hereafter. Polygamy is inbuilt in this religion and they will enforce polygamy wherever they can seize power (Darul Islam).



The Christians do not have such a policy due to their addiction to materialism. Christianity is based on the principle of guilt and its exhortation on people to repent and forgive. Once you repent or forgive as the case may be you have a clean slate. No limit is placed on the number of times you can repent/forgive. Christianity thus places emphasis on the here rather than the hereafter. This principle of 'here' and its consequent material pursuit is the reason that they do not reproduce themselves sufficiently and this naturally causes their decline in Europe and in America. Hindus are also afflicted by materialism thanks to their imbibing secular ideas from the Christians and this will tell on their population growth.



Chinese communists have inflicted fatal injury on their progeny by their strict one child policy. Its present day glory will cease by the next generation.

And in cases where Muslims do follow Christians (or, most ahead, the Japanese) to a fertility figure below replacement level, a threshold recently crossed in Iran and in Bosnia, the fact that it happened much later among Muslims assures further comparative demographic gains before a net population decline sets in. Thus, in Iran the number of children including girls has grown rapidly in the preceding decades, so now the number of young mothers is still rising and even with fewer than 2.1 births per woman, the number of births also continues to rise. And when that number finally starts to decline, it will still for many years be higher than that of elderly Iranians dying, so in the authors’ estimate, Iran’s population will still rise another 20 million or so before levelling off. Even if the reproductive conduct of Muslim societies cannot be described as “demographic aggression”, it does lead to a steady rise in Muslim percentage in practically every country concerned

shri Elst points to some interesting factor.
