Islamic birth rates are falling

Dear Dr Pipes,

In your reply to my message you said that Islamic birth rates are falling. That is a great sign if it is happening. It will bring prosperity to muslim families. In my message I had said that the birth rates of Muslims are higher than that of other sections of the society.

They may be declining but may still be higher than the other sections of the society (specially in the societies where Muslims are in minority). It will be instructive to check the birth rates of Muslims in Pakistan and in India. If I am able to find that information, I will post it here.
