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. 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.
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.”
