Maths may be hard, but research isn't.Zontar said:Just because maths is hard doesn't mean anyone has a justification for not understanding how one group facing negative growth and a smaller group facing explosive growth will inevitably lead to the smaller group overtaking the other.
This is implied from an unsourced quote from Bernard Lewis in a media appearance. There are no numbers involved, so no maths. Also, speaking as a sociologist I can only assume (because there's really no evidence whatsoever for it) that it's based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the causes of declining fertility. Because, you know, fertility isn't just declining here in "the West".
Like.. if we extrapolate based on current trends, birth rates across the Islamic world (excluding subsaharan Africa) will reach replacement level in around 2030. Subsaharan Africa will itself reach replacement level sometime in the latter half of the 21st century. Sometime between those two points the global birth rate will reach replacement level and begin to shrink. Your assumption is based on the idea that the only people on the planet who will continue to have birth rates above replacement level will be Muslims living in what is now the developed world, because.. reasons, I guess.
Also, for someone who hates "ivory towers" so much, you seem to have a bizarre love of citing shitty academics and wading in on social theories. Why don't you leave that to us "gated community" types and get back to living in the Muslim-dominated urban slum you would have to live in, at this point, to justify even a fraction of the rhetoric you've come out with.
