I just read this article, which has started a bit of a s**t storm.

It does raise some interesting ideas, however. Personally, I don't plan on having children. But far be it from me to take this woman's stance.

France has an estimated 5 million Muslims, comprising about 8 percent of the population.

"Nearly eight in 10 French Muslims generally say they want to adopt French customs," Allen said.

Some of the difference between British and French Muslims can be attributed to ethnicity and country of origin. Nearly three-quarters of British Muslims are from South Asia -- Pakistan or India -- while French Muslims are predominantly from Morocco and Algeria, where they were already exposed to French culture.

France's French background population is decreasing. Actually in Mark Steyn's book America alone (An interesting read with facts) most European countries populations are decreasing. In Spain, the replacement rate is 1.1 so their population in halving every generation. And in Japan the population rate is decreasing. Japan doesn't have immigration so therefore how are they going to fund healthcare in 20 years.

Mark Steyn mentions most muslim counties have a high fertility rate. Yemen 6.58 , Afganistan 6.69. Why should this matter? It shouldn't. It won't effect social cohesiveness to have a sudden massive shift in population dynamics.? I'm glad there are some people like Auraptor that actually consider how such changes would effect us.

Since the 1980s, France has ceased being a country of mass immigration. Meanwhile, the national birth rate, after continuing to drop for a time, began to rebound in the 1990s and currently the country's fertility rate is close to the replacement level. In recent years, immigrants have accounted for one quarter of the population growth - a lower proportion than in most other European countries - according to an INSEE 2006 study: "The natural increase is close to 300,000 persons, a level that has not been reached in more than thirty years. Net migration is estimated at 93,600 persons, slightly more than in 2005.
