Middle easterners and Muslims in general have a lot of kids.
- wolverine876 3y agoWho exactly? Where? Can you show a correlation between the geography (where? from Iran and Egypt?) and birth rate? Religion and birth rate? Vague, non-specific, evidence-free comments in highly sensitive areas lead to all sorts of bad stuff.
- csomar 3y agoBoth Egypt and Iran have relatively high birth rate. Especially when you consider the difficult geography they live in.
- langitbiru 3y agoYes, Egypt has a high fertility rate, 2.9. But Iran does not. It only has 1.6. For comparison, Japan has 1.26.
- abenga 3y agoTrue. Rich and stable ME states (UAE, …) have very low birth rates. The ones that have undergone turmoil like Yemen have higher birthrates.
- logicchains 3y agoSaudi Arabia has a birthrate of around 2.5, and it's quite stable.

Their growth rate is more than Christianity and Hinduism combined. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2017/04/06/why-muslims-are-the-worlds-fastest-growing-religious-group/ https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2017/04/06/why-musli... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_population_growth https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_population_growth
- wolverine876 3y agoGreat! I want to be clear: Good for anyone who is free to practice their chosen religion, whatever it is. However, that's not really a correlation, which is important: For example, I'd guess that people who are Muslim (an incredibly large, diverse set of people) on average buy fewer winter coats than people who are Shinto. That tells us nothing about the religion of Islam, other than some geography.
- bluecheese452 3y agoGreat if they are actually free to practice. Apostasy is a crime in many of these countries.
