It is you who have no idea of what you are talking about. This study only applies to America. Muslims in rich countries still have more than 5 children per family. The expert you quote does not have a clue. Fertiliity rate has notihing to do with income, but the structure of the family. Sure if immigrants adopt the dying secular American ways then obviously they will die out too. But it is not because of economic prosperity at all. Hasidic Jews have about seven children per family in Israel. Are you saying Hasidic Jews in Isreal are not prosperous? 

Are you saying it is okay for a society to die out because they are rich. Oh, we are all getting rich, therefore we will decrease in number until we are all gone. I am glad you said it because now we know what you stand for. I could never had uttered those words. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't really understand what's so evil about what I said. I didn't make a claim as to what I stood for -  merely stated the facts of what is happening, never mentioned my opinion. You took some obscure conclusion from my facts. Population growth decreases with economic prosperity.

 

Well the idea that population growth relates to economic prosperity is wrong. There is no magic per capita income above which a family disintegrates. That notion is ludicrous, although many incompetent academics hold it. I am sorry if I mis-read you. it is understandible that these academics, who don't know what they are talking about will mislead many people. 

Israel is a very good example of what I am saying. In Israel the secular Jews are dying out. They have a reproduction rate of 15 children per 20 adults. The religious Hasidic Jews have seven children per family. The reproduction rate has nothing to do with income, it is the result of family structure, i.e. divorce rate, which has to do with religious beliefs.
