The Population Research Institute says the Western world is facing a crisis as virtually every country has birth rates well below the replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman.Hear This Report
A pro-family organization has done extensive research into birth rates around the world and has concluded that if the Western world wants to survive, it better start having more children. The Population Research Institute (PRI) says virtually every Western or Westernized nation on the planet is slowly dying off because birth rates have fallen below the 2.1-child-per-woman replacement level.
PRI spokesman Joseph D'Agostino says for the most part, only Muslims have high birth rates. "It's because Christians and Jews are refusing to have children, refusing to get married, [and] having such low birth rates that the Muslims are going to inherit the Earth," he explains. "It's not anything the Muslims are doing; it's what Christians and Jews are not doing."
D'Agostino says the future of the world will certainly be quite different if Muslims become the dominate population group in the coming decades. "I think we can see what life is like in Islamic countries," he says. "I think Christians know that it's a false religion. And we can see that the Muslim world is becoming actually more radical and, in many ways, is headed backwards into its barbaric phase."
D'Agostino notes that it is only through immigration that the U.S. population continues to grow -- and that the current situation begs a pragmatic solution: "If you don't want the world to turn into Saudi Arabia, maybe people other than Muslims need to start having some kids at the rate the Muslims are having kids."
Duh, I'm surprised this had to be said in an actual report. My father and I were talking about this months ago with much trepidation. I've got one daughter, and hope to have 2 to 3 more children, so I'll do my part!
/Remember to buy war bonds!
I have 4 daughters. I'm done.
I'm sure they should pop out at least 3 each.
Just saying my family has a chunk taken care of. LOL
Mark Steyn figured this out months ago -- and he didn't have a big-budget research institute paying him for it....
Could the world slide down into another "Dark Ages" period? It has happened before.
we are headed for ruin if we don't wake up NOW!!!!!
"I'm sure they should pop out at least 3 each."
In our immediate family circle, there are five men between the ages of 30-40. Only one has married and had children (2). If young men are not establishing households, there will be slim chances for your fond hopes.
OK, me and the wife had our three.
The rest of you out there - get busy.
:-)
In its "wisdom", the Western world is aborting and queering itself into extinction . . .
We have 11, two of them married and 8 grandchildren so far.
Yes, we have trouble making ends meet. Yes we have debts. No we don't have a lot of fancy toys and fancy cars or a fancy house.
But we have the challenges and rewards of a large family.
Forget about fancy houses and fancy cars and all the latest electronic toys and accumulating $$$$$.
The only things you can take with you when you leave this world are your memories, and the love of your family.
We know lots of people with large families, most of whom are better off than we are, and even better off than the smaller families in the area.
Forget about global warming, too.
If you want to see global warming, wait till the muslims inherit nuclear arsenals from the Euro-peon countries they are slowly taking over.

Yes, and one more thing: Stop having immigrants who are Muslim. We've done our bit for hospitality's sake and let lots of them in since 1965. It's perfectly kosher and polite to close the saloon for the night.
Meanwhile, overturn Griswold vs. Connecticut!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Some day the Library of Congress could be in flames.
Conversions may outpace demographics in America. Jihad.
"Meanwhile, overturn Griswold vs. Connecticut!"
Good luck with outlawing contraception. ;-D
Muslim birth rates are declining also, but demographics is a game of last man standing. And right now the last man won't be Western.
God bless you for that—but is three our idea of a big family? Remember, we have to make up for people who want to have kids, but can't. And also for other non-jihadist Americans who are currently too screwed-up to realize it's what they should be doing.
