Changing Equations In The World
Yesterday I got a very interesting video forwarded to me. It gives a convincing argument that the
Global culture that our children will inherit will be very different from the one in which we lived as children. It says that it is based on the demographic research.
Let me try to reproduce the Narration as I heard with my poor hearing ability.
In order for the culture to maintain itself for more than 25 years, the minimum required fertility rate is 2.11 children per family. No culture has ever reversed if the fertility rate has dropped to 1.9 children per family and it is impossible to recover from a fertility rate of 1.3 because it will take at least 80- 100 years for it to correct itself, but there is no economic model that can sustain itself for such a long time. It explains the effect by graphic model as
If two sets of parents have one child each and if they in turn have one child then there will be a quarter of grandchildren to the number of grandparents. If a million children are born in 2006 then by 2026 there will be only two million adults. The reversing trend of the population decrease is impossible to change and if the population shrinks, so does the culture.
The argument doesn’t end here as the scenario he presents becomes more frightening. He says that in 2007 the fertility rate of France was 1.8, of England 1.6, Greece 1.3, Germany 1.3, Italy 1.2 and Spain 1.1. Across the entire EU of 31 countries the fertility rate was 1.38. He says, that historical research shows that this numbers are impossible to reverse and in a matter of years, the Europe as we know will cease to exist.
Yet the population of Europe is not declining. Why?
Immigration. Islamic Immigration. Of all population growth in Europe since 1990, 90% of it is because of Islamic immigration. Against 1.8 children per family in France, the Muslims have 8.1. In Southern France one of the most populated regions in Europe there are more Mosques than children.
Thirty percent of the children aged 20 or less are Muslim. In the larger cities the number is as high as 45%. By 2027 one in five Frenchmen will be a Muslim. In 39 years France will be an Islamic republic. In the last thirty years the Muslim population of Great Britain has risen from 82000 to 2.5 million, a thirty-fold increase. There are over one thousand Mosques, many of them former Churches. In Netherland 50% of all newborns are Muslims. In another fifteen years fifty percent of the population will be Muslim. In Russia there are 23 million Muslims i.e. 1 out of 5 Russians is a Muslim. 40% of the Russian Army would be Islamic in just a few years. Currently in Belgium 25% of the population and 50% of all newborns are Muslims. The government of Belgium has stated that 1/3rd of all European children will be born to Muslim families by 2025 i.e. just 17 years away ( The video is of 2008). The German government, the first to talk about this publically, recently released a statement that says:-
“The fall in the [German] population can no longer be stopped. The downward spiral is no longer reversible…. It will be a Muslim state by the year 2050” [Germany Federal Statistics Office]
Muammar Al Gaddafi had said :-
“There are signs that Allah will grant victory to Islam in Europe, without swords, without guns, without conquest. We don’t need terrorists, we don’t need homicide bombers. The 50+ million Muslims [In Europe] will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.”
There are currently 52 million Muslims in Europe. The German government has said that the number is expected to double in the next twenty years to 104 million. The numbers tell us a story
Canada’s fertility rate is 1.6 nearly 4 points lower than what is required (2.11) to sustain a culture. Islam is now the fastest growing religion. Between 2001 and 2006 Canada’s population increased by 1.6 Million, 1.2 Million out of which were immigrants. In the United States, the current fertility rate of the American citizens is 1.6. With the influx of the Latino immigrants the fertility rate increases to 2.11, the bare minimum required to sustain a culture. In 1970 there were 100,000 Muslims in the United States. Today there are over 9 Million. The video ends with a message…
IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP.
The time stamp on the last screen image is of 2008. So all these figures are of the census of the year 2008 or earlier. That is seven years ago. What is the present Muslim population of Europe? Your guess is as good as mine.
What is their agenda? Isn’t it surprising that all refugees from Syria have set out for European shores for which they have to cross the sea which is full of perils and many people have lost and are losing their lives, including the young and innocent children but the tide isn’t ebbing. The poignant picture of a young baby whose dead body was washed ashore has brought tears to many eyes all across the globe. The EU is divided over the issue of giving refuge to this overwhelming deluge of humanity. The question that remains unanswered is why they should choose to go to Europe when they can go to some rich and peaceful countries like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and UAE which are closer and are accessible by road?
It’s looks even more surprising, when you consider that all these countries are Muslim, where the refugees can have full freedom of following their faith. So definitely there is something more to what meets the eye and what that is, will come to light sooner than expected now when the world seems to be on the verge of another big war. At least one of the terrorists involved in the Paris massacre is believed to have infiltrated as a refugee.
Agreed that most of them are not terrorists but they have in them the dogma that turns innocent looking children into dreaded terrorists who are ready to die and kill for the religion. Some of them do cross the line and choose to serve the cause they think only the blessed ones are chosen to do.
The strongest argument that can be given by anyone is that, the issue has come up now when the phantom of radical Islam has raised its head and it will pass. For Europe and America perhaps, it never was of much concern when India asked the world to wake up after 26/11 attack on Mumbai. After a few incidents of terrorist attacks on the land of Pakistan, it has convinced America that it too is a victim of terrorism and has even filched Aid although it doesn’t need to do that because, it’s America’s strategic ally like it is of China and keeps on getting aid and arms on one pretext or other.
The stratagems, the play of politics has ruined the world. America is a strong ally of Saudi Arabia which is sitting over huge reserves of oil, but unfortunately some of those reserves are with the countries which do not tow America’s line. Whenever they try to be too belligerent, wayward, America thinks there must be a regime change and policy correction and it sets about doing it. This selective policy of taking sides and destabilizing the monarchies or autocratic regimes, the middle-east has always lived under, is the root cause of the present trouble.
But trouble has always been there, ever since the oil was found or should I say, Israel was carved out. Everyone has its own axe to grind but besides that all of them are ready to use their axes against America, Britain, France or the Western world which they see as Satanic. India too is seen as an enemy nation because of Pakistan having succeeded in keeping the Kashmir pot boiling and because it is seen as a land of idol worshipers, the kafirs, which is against Islamic tenets. Because of somewhat smothering of Talibaan, mission Kashmir has lost attention and support. Pakistan was too happy to have a readymade army of Mujhahids fighting to free Kashmir from India but their partying has been cut-short by the terrorists retaliating to Pakistan’s two timing game it plays with America. But Pakistan has another staunch support to help it fight (terrorism) and that is China.
I really don’t know, why China and India don’t join hands. OK, we fought war once but so what? It’s not uncommon for the neighbors to fight, to quarrel over petty issues but in the face of external threat, they act together, like brothers and friends. Why can’t we be like good neighbors?
The whole scenario looks frightening to me. I don’t know what will be the outcome of this turmoil and in what shape shall we handover the planet to our coming generations but whether peace returns to the middle-east or not, the headache for India doesn’t seem to be receding because we have among us besides sympathizers of the terrorists, the so called “liberals and secularists” to lend them support, tacit, moral, monetary and verbal and we have with us many idiots and jokers too.
Mani Shankar Aiyer goes and tells on Pakistan TV, that peace talks can proceed only when Modi is removed. Something that Congress could not do in sixty seven years, he suddenly has found a solution to that. He might as well request Pakistan Army for help. Earlier when Modi was campaigning for elections, he commented that if he doesn’t get the coveted position, he may come and serve tea to us. Plenty of people like him cannot digest the thought of a former tea vendor becoming the PM of the nation? They see and grade the people form the jobs they do and then go and lecture the world on evils of caste, religion and class based society with their hearts filled with malice. For the sake of freebies, for living lives as idlers, they can go to any length, even compromise with the integrity of the nation.

In my city two Christ Church, believers are increasing. And in the city center there is a temple dedicated to the Chinese Taoist gods, and now tell me how to publish a picture?

Frightening indeed MVB though we shouldn’t forget that Christianity too is continuing to spread, but the spread is peaceful and they do a lot of missionary work, spread education, they have made men out of cannibals but intentions of Islamists and their deeds aren’t noble. What is happening is indeed worrisome.

Navneet frightening scenario. Now Germany has officially come out with the truth but few years ago there was a report which said that in about 100 years there would be more Turks in Germany than Germans.Who knows if your granddaughter goes to Europe she might be forced into a burqa.

Further to my earlier comment, there is the living example of Lebanon. It was created by European powers as a Christian enclave in the predominantly Muslim west Asia. But the must population there, unlike the Christian one increased at an exponential rate. As a result, there is constant tension between the two groups. Some years ago there was even civil war between Israel-supported Christian Falangists and Muslim groups.

Hello Suchi Ji
Hahaha- But according to the above report the irreversible damage has already been done. In fact it can be seen here. Old people have no one to look after them and the young people don’t want to have more children.

Very interesting blog Navneet thanks for providing it.
I think the root cause of immigration to countries is bound to the present system of unrestricted capitalism we endeavor globally.
Capitalism is find and good, providing a most efficient means to supply the cheapest best goods possible. But unrestricted capitalism leads to abuse and corruption. The particular corruption in this specific, is the need for all companies to continue to not just maintain, but grow earnings in virtually every quarter. With this necessity, on a overall basis, the corporate mantra to the politic, is to grown populations at any cost. As with more peoples overall, the corporations will continue to increase in sales and profit each year and each quarter which is their mandate.
Corporations have a commonality of board members, which is how they express a united view in things. They have specific agendas. So in this, they favor unrestricted immigration, caring not if the peoples do not fit into the culture they adopt. By corporate donation to campaigns, this reflects in the politic, and also by corporate control of the media, to push the people of any place to accept immigration by showing them only one side to this thing.
Really the corporate necessity to grow grow grow is not only bad for individual cultures and productive on strife internal in nations, but also it cannot continue in a global framework. Our resources are finate and there are consequences to unrestricted global population growth.
So to solve this we must take corporate monies out of election campaigns, and also put global and national media under the control of the people they serve, not the corporations who profit from the people they serve.
Till we do that, we will continue to see immigrations into nations with the peoples of those nations saying….why is this so? And the politicians saying…..really it is our responsibility in the global community.
It is fine to help nations and peoples out in times of crisis, such as presently, in Syria. But however we cannot generally in each nation, allow immigrations of a continual sort, as it with time, changes the demographics, and our nations become not ours anymore.
Those nations from which peoples immigrate, have to address the problems within themeselves, and not use other nations as a means to solve their problems. Some of that solution may indeed be population control.
But we will never hear of any of this, as our information it is corporately or governmentally controlled, to a negative effect upon each nations present inhabitants.

Fantastic overview Ron,
All this migration is Capitalism driven and the greed of Corporates and their funding the governments has resulted in unchecked migration to US, Canada, Europe and now Australia. Nobody ever gave a thought to the problems it could bring for the locals, nobody heard their protests. I would dare say that the recent stance on welcoming the refugees too by Germany and France definitely was less out of their concern for the suffering humanity but more for getting cheap labour for their factories. After independence Indians could easily get to Britain but now Britain cannot doesn’t need them but is having serious problem of containing them but Indians are perhaps the best workers a country can wish for. Paris, I am afraid is just the beginning. The interpretation of what religion means has to change, if the people of this planet have to co-exist and prosper and I don’t see it happen.

Interesting thoughts on Ascent and Decline of world populations linked to number of children in family.
My parents had 9 children. My 6 brothers (except 1, who got 3) and one sister settled for 2 children each.
Lately, the next generation in our family tree is happy with thought one child is enough!
It is a sure sign our family is declining.

Suresh Ji,
My grandmother bore 14, seven survived and my parents had five, four survived but we all have two. Many of my friends just have one but Muslim population in India is increasing exponentially, so what is a scene in Europe today will be in India tomorrow.

I agree Usha Ji but for praying, man must connect with the God at a certain level of piety, so I believe. If the God is so partisan that He endorses only some form of prayer, only some ritualistic mumbo-jumbo done only in a certain way then He is not worthy of being prayed .
