why do muslims have the highest birth rates?

Question

take the palestinian population for example.

Answer 1

Checking out your ?´s over the past week or so, I see you´re on a role, asking provokative / insulting questions about Islam, Christianity, etc.
You also enjoy making broad and false judgements about Muslims and Islam.
If you´re out to stir up trouble, do it somewhere else. This is for people who want information, not trouble. And really, you end up sounding really racist. Is this what you´re out for?
If you stop asking provokative questions, you´ll stop getting the same kinds of answers.
If you really want information, ask it seriously. there are lots of informed people who can tell you what you want to know.

Answer 2

There could be a number of reasons and I am just suggesting them:

It was pointed out by the former Conservative President of South Africa, F.W. de Klerk, that the poorest families have the largest number of children because they want economic security and support when they are older, so the more children they have, the more incomes to support them. They also do it because offspring can help on the farm and in business. Also, it relates to family honour.

There may be a lack of birth control available or perhaps it is considered to go against certain cultural or spiritual beliefs.

The conditions under occupation may manifest themselves in such a way as to encourage a higher birth rate, since over half of all Palestinians are emigres living in other countries.

If there are issues of illiteracy and unemployment, those may factor into the matter.

Women living in developing countries traditionally have larger families, reflective of their roles as caregiver and heads of the household. The responsibility for the daily care of children is left up to them, so naturally they would be expected to prove their fertility and family loyalty by having several children.

Some people believe in large families to expand a culture or nationality.

Answer 3

No, technically if you were going just by religion...it'd be the Mormons who live in Utah. They have huge families.

Certain nations, such as Indonesia which is predominated Muslim have had in recent years a huge population explosion. But I think this has more to do with the Indonesian folk themselves rather than their religion. The same applies to Palestine and any other nation. It's the culture and the people that cause the baby booms, not necessarily the religion.

Answer 4

because the prophet Muhammad ordered Muslims to multiply as much as they can ( hadith)

( when you are at war all the time , you need that ! )

and it's right that arabs are known of very high birth rates too.

Answer 5

Well I never believed in quantity but quality of life.
I believe in giving the best to my 3 children. The best education, the best food, clothes, the best rooms and the best mother I can be.

Answer 6

i didnt know that either, but um Inshalla it is true
Allah guides the muslims to increase their pupulation so that the believers on Earth may increase. Inshalla like the first person said so we can rule the world,lol

Answer 7

Maybe because they want to take over the world and need their people to multiply so it can happen.

Answer 8

Arabs have high birth rates....not necessarily muslims. be more specific. There are Christian families that have 7,8,9 kids cause they dont believe in b.c......its all in how you look at it.

Answer 9

They're creating an army.

Answer 10

because they want to take over the world and they are doing that by out breeding everyone else. They are succeeding too.
