Muslim population growth.

I am actually responding to an article you wrote on the explosive growth of population in both Muslim and non Muslim countries. Many of these countries get aid from the U..S. and other developed nations. This very high birth rate also applies to the Palestinians, who are currently holding several Israeli hostages.

Perhaps we can consider ourselves as 'enablers' as mainly Western countries are giving Muslims the wherewithall to buy weapons and produce ever m ore babies. From Oriana Fallaci's book "In 1974 Algerian President Boumedienne....spoken before the General Assembly of the United nations..without circumlocutions he said "One day millions of men will leave the southern hemisphere of this planet to burst into the northern one. But not as friends. Because they will burst in to conquer, and they will conquer by populating it with their children. Victory will come to us from the wombs of our women."

Also Palestinian terrorist George Habash said that the Palestinian problem was about far more than Israel. The Arab goal, he said was to wage war against Europe and America to ensure there would be no peace for the West. The Arabs he said would "advance step by step. Millimeter by Millimeter. Year after year. Decade after decade. Determined, stubborn, patient. This is our stratege. A strategy that we shall expand thoughout the whole planet." So why do we finance our own demise? I hope you can tell me.
