As I said in a recent post, I'd rather focus my critical energies on how Muslims can get out of their long monumental crisis, but this video below, Muslim Demographics, on the threat Muslims pose to the Western world is so ludicrous and shocking it deserves at least a quick mention. A quick preview: Islam will soon take over Western Europe and North America because the fertility rate of Muslim women in the West is much higher. In 39 years, the video claims, France will become an "Islamic Republic" because Muslims there procreate at a rate of 8.1 per woman while that rate for the non-Muslim French stands at a mere 1.3. Of course there are no sources for these figures because they're simply wrong. To dispute just this part of the video, the fertility rate in France has actually been rising (2.1 today) and it's true that women of minority/immigrant origin account for that increase, but the latest official data from L'Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques (INSEE) indicates that the fertility rate among Maghrebi or Turkish-origin women has been falling steadily in the last few years. Linking fertility to Islam is the height of Islamophobia. Countries like Iran and Tunisia have fertility rates comparable to France and the United States (2.0) and those rates are projected to drop below 2 in many Muslim countries the next few years, according to United Nations statistics and estimates. The video crudely lies about the number of Muslims living in Belgium, putting that figure at 25%. The real percentage does not exceed 4%.

The video was posted by someone under the name friendofMuslim, apparently someone with religious motivations who urges Christians to share the Gospel with Muslims. If Christians do nothing, the video says, then Muslims will simply overwhelm Western culture and wipe out Christianity. The video has gone wildly viral with more than 2.5 million views since it was posted about a month ago.
