in response to reader comment: Declining Muslim Rate in the West

Dear Dr Pipes:

Your reader Sam from Canada suspects that Muslim families receive money from Saudi Arabia or some other sheikhdom to produce more children. I have no reason to believe that but from I have seen 'three children per family' may indeed be the tacit Islamic policy. Contrast that with the Chinese one child per family. Some one should cite evidence that three children per family is indeed a tacit policy.

Submitting....
